Nah, it’s all an act, his staff on the radio claim he’s nothing like that off air . It’s hilarious . It’s intentionally winding up people . In contrast to George Hook, who I like (radio and tv right pundit persona that is) he’s meant to be difficult all the time

Has nothing to do with his radio or TV acting

I know plenty of people who say they have metal health issues but continue to drink alcohol. I know that alcohol definitely made my own mental health issues way worse.

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 .

Why is a grown man still calling himself Bressie? :rolleyes:

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

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.

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....

IAMAMORON · 30-04-2020 11:17AM

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

Bressie is a total tosser. NO talent whatsoever.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

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?

it must have hurt that only women with no interest in music went to his gigs and that his own music is worthless and will never be played again, i know the preferred sex is a bonus but you really need the material!

Did anyone listen to his podcast? I avoided it like the plague, personally.

Beyonce is an odd one out in that list. She's a complete and utter diva and egomaniac.

Bradley Walsh, for me.

I never realised how much The Chase is on television. It seems to be multiple channels at every time of the day.

It's not that I think he's a bad guy, I just don't think he's funny. There's plenty of comedians I don't like but I can understand and acknowledge their style of comedy, even if it's not just for me.

But he's not a comedian, yet think he's the funniest guy on television. He tops it all off with the fakest laugh on television, far worse than Jimmy Fallon who takes a lot of flack for his.

For example, this clip has nearly 2 million views on YouTube and is often posted on social media as "omg look at this TV presenter who can't stop laughing, it's so funny"..... I go mad because it's so incredibly fake.

I agree on that. Walsh strikes me as a decent guy, but he's sort of the safe entertainer, really.
Inoffensive to a small child, or your nan.

IAMAMORON · 30-04-2020 03:05PM

Bradley Walsh gets a pass.

There is a touch of the Blackpool's about him that I find charming. He is actually a failed soccer player who became a bluecoat at Butlins or something similar.

There is something agreeably cheesy about the professional entertainer, he is not slagging off minorities or trying to be edgy, he is making your granny laugh, I kind of like that at times.

That "Cetch him Derry, Cetch HIMM!!" fella on YouTube from Kerry, Tadgh Fleming, he has a punchable face.

Also Alan Carr, I just think he's too loud and over the top for my liking.

Regina Doherty, she looks like a school mistress

Baz Ashmawy and that stupid Tesco ad his in that pops up on Facebook about Covid19!

Let’s not forget Mundy and Roesy. Actually what is the story with all that?

Immortal Starlight · 30-04-2020 11:00PM

Maura Higgins. Fake hair fake tan fake lips. I’ve never seen an episode of Love Island but I saw her skating on a tv show and she was so rude shouting back at the judges. Now it seems she’s been seeing a married man too who was her skating partner on the show. Horrible.

Kerrygold’s retro adverts have not worn well for me in the last forty years.

“Who’s gonna take the Harse ta France?” Now looks like a reference to the Lady of the House.

I can't remember his name but he has a football channel
Skinny and black hair
Tries to get in 200 words a minute
Oh and he's Irish ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

I love that old ad, especially the auld wan giving the Frenchwoman an utter filthy look when she tells Enda Oates that he "cooks like a Frenchman"

I think they should make a follow up ad to it. It can be filmed just outside the bedroom that evening and all you can hear are the noises from the bedroom with the French one going "Oooh you ride like a Frenchman", Enda going "Ooh, ooh I'm taking the Horse to France tonight". Then it should show the auld wan in the next bedroom going "He's going to be cummng now, any minnit".

Anyway back on topic, I can't stand that whiney voiced fella that has the show on Newstalk right after Pat Kenny's show.

Who is someone you inexplicably can't stand?
