Who is someone you inexplicably can't stand?

[Deleted User]

Is there anyone out there that you just don't like and you just can't explain it? Someone who you just can't stand but they've never really done anything to make you feel that way.

For example, I have an irrational dislike of Emma Watson. I've never really seen any of her films or interviews but if I look something up and she's in it, I'm subconsciously voting against it. When she showed up in This Is The End I sighed and I'm not quite sure why. Can't explain it. Feel similarly towards Anne Hathaway.

Who's yours?

I'll give you Lorde.

But Prince was definitely a drama queen!

Back on topic, it may be a bit niche, but I listen to the No Such Thing as a Fish podcast every week. It's four producers from QI discussing their favourite facts of the last seven days.

Good fun, and can be very interesting, but one of them, Anna Ptaszynski, is painful. She always interrupts the others, and tries to be the smartest and funniest person in the room the whole time.

Prince was grand, until he found religion.

Oh Jesus, the 'QI Elves'. I went off of QI a while back. I think, once they let the likes of Aisling Bea on the show, it killed my attention span.

I was gonna say Kylie, but she still uses her second name. Beyonce, Prince (RIP), Eminem, Rihanna, Shakira,Slash, Lorde, are some that that spring to mind.

They just mind their own business, keep making music, and just avoid stepping into s**t. (Or did, in the case of Prince, who's sadly no longer with us).

They don't go off, spouting rubbish. And in the case of Lorde, tend to only make an appearance (outside of music) when they're taking the pee out of themselves.
(Lorde has appeared on SNL, and was the loudest person laughing when she was the punchline on South Park.)

The sad thing is, Ireland has a habit of celebrating the mediocre. Everyone else backs stuff up, Irish acts just tend to be crap.

I wonder is there anyone with a one-word stage name that isn't a plonker actually?

Adele seems more normal than the rest of them I suppose, but it certainly tends to be the reserve of eejits alright.

A bit like Joe Dolan or Christy Moore? Their names are normal.

Bressie is a total tosser. NO talent whatsoever.

I guess if your name is like Malachy Murphy....or Feargal McConkey or such like it unlikely to be suitable for a show business person.

Or if you have a bonce resembling a skating rink for flies you have to wear a Beany /Hat/ Cap/ Hairpiece.

Not to mention getting the old brown choppers capped....

I don't know why they wear the beanies. Bono clearly got hair plugs/ hair transplants.

I lost my hair at around 20, I shaved it off about a year or two later. Hair transplants are just an ego thing, tbh.

Aren’t you the dude who mentioned buying a toupee in Thailand when you were over there on a ‘golfing holiday’?

Apologies if it wasn’t you.

We come from a country of 'Bono', 'The Edge', 'Gavin Friday', 'Hozier', 'Duke Special', 'the myriad number of names Sinead O'Connor has gone by', 'Tony Fenton', 'Al Porter', 'Guggi'...

You get my drift. Lots of supposed 'famous' people using plonker nicknames.

It's like that one sad and immature friend in every group who still makes everyone call him by a childhood nickname.

Well, alcohol tends to clean metal...

Any substance will make mental health issues worse. Coffee is not recommended for someone with anxiety, for example.
It makes things worse.

But when you have a substance that can actually trigger mental health problems when there were none before (for example, latent Schizophrenia-which may not develop in a person unless they use cannabis) then you don't go near it. Or recommend it.

No point really talking to you when a typo is the first thing you take from my post. Stick to your **** thread .

Any mental health professional will tell you weed only makes your mental illness worse. (It's the THC, among other things).
That and certain latent disorders (that one may only be a carrier for, but may not have) can be triggered by cannabis.

Bressie is a sycophant. A leech. He was a crap rugby player, a crap musician, and now he's trying to be a mental health advocate.
Then is happy to spread dangerous misinformation.

I had to google sycophant there, but he is definitely that as well.

In fact if RTE had the balls they would produce an annual television award for the most sycophantic, sanctimonious and ambitious pile of self promoting shight excuse for an individual they can find.

That person should receive an award... called a " Bressie".

It would sell plenty of advertising for starters.

Yeah I always get that vibe that he is not as afflicted as he lets on. I don't know why, as of course notionally 'successful' people are as vulnerable as anyone. He's done well for himself, but I would have no interest in his guidance on mental health. It feels like a slick and vacuous version of the real thing.

No your grand, I have always thought he was a total dose. People who use mental health as some sort of a call to arms are a waste of space. He is a sanctimonious pile of shight, he is basically a walking virtue signal that breathes.

He is not as sick as he pretends to be either, which is not fair on people who are. The only people who like him are birds, ask yourself the question, could you trust him to be in the company of yours?
