Anyone on the advert for new mobile network 'GoMo'

I feel nothing but sorrow when I think that my daughter is going to grow up in a society of such ballbags

Melanie Sykes. I met her a few times- not very pleasant.

Remember from years ago, a mate of mine would have an in-law who is extremely famous in Britain (everyone here would know this person as well) so has been in her company a few times.

He told me she's stupid to an exceptional level of stupid.

And a pure bint to boot.

Fine thing though.

Scanlon is based in London so I think she'd have been affected by travel restrictions and bans and all that.
Though Brian O'Driscoll seemed to be jumping back and forth as much as he wanted.

Do you mean our Brian is jumping back and forth between Scanlon in London and Huberman in Dublin?

Please elaborate, and don't hold back on any detail!

I'd say they'd have found a way... Claire Byrne (and Marty Morrissey) both hosted shows from a shed.
Kevin McGahern did a show from his house.

Angela's got her podcast going from her bedroom.

They'd have easily made it work. Quite interesting they chose not to.

Dave Gorman. I feel like Sideshow Bob standing on a rake even hearing his name.

Peter O Mahony.
He annoys me.

He's an absolute wanker, very abusive person, he buys his way out of every situation he creates.

I like him but this is the first inexplicable one I’ve seen so fair play.

Richard Hillman · 06-01-2021 10:32AM

Agree with Paul McGrath. There was an incident a good few years ago where I was in a pub and the doormen wouldn't let him in. He barged passed, went up to bar and started shouting the place down when they wouldn't serve him.

The incident where he carjacked somebody got brushed under the carpet a lot. He seems to get away with a lot of stuff just because he's an alcoholic. Your local vagrant has "his demons" too but won't get away with it because he didn't play x amount of times for Ireland.

Getting taxi's to bring him to God knows where and not paying, taking a visit from the guards to eventually get paid. Taking people's property etc etc. Abusing bar staff...

He is well known as somebody that drink just doesn't suit. Some people make very bad drunks. McGrath is one of them.

Watched McGrath interview with Tommy Tiernan, he seemed a very shy timid guy.... interesting. Is he not off the booze years? Maybe he is sober now so he may have changed

The incident with taking the man's car in Ferns was in the local (now closed down) paper, The Enniscorthy Echo. With the unpaid taxi's he paid up after a visit from the guards. His p.a. rang Enniscorthy taxi companies telling them not to call out to the house for him unless she rang for him. Most wouldn't go for him anyway as he wasn't worth the earache. Anyway it's all in the past for him now hopefully it stays that way.

I heard the story about the car before. It's a bit outlandish to suggest he buys his way out of every situation though. Thats like something you could say about Trump or someone of that ilk.
McGrath released an autobiography about 15 years ago and he didnt exactly paint a pretty picture of himself. From what I remember theres a bit about drinking bleach to try do himself in while his kids were in the house. He admitted being a raving alcoholic cost him two marriages and a relationship with his children. The book was a big seller so it's not a secret that drinking every day made him into an arsehole. It was pretty much the theme of the book.
I find it more sad than thinking I inexplicably cant stand the guy because of it.
I dont know enough about addiction to be 100% sure but I would be under the opinion that its the addiction that drives the horrible behaviour.
