    As somebody who hasn't watched First Dates really, have they ever had travellers on before?

    Plenty of women who looked like them alright, but no, don’t think so

    In the early days of our relationship I was out with My better half one night when this yoke of a guy heavily obese and extremely camp joined our table and her and her friends uninvited

    He started by making unwanted sexual remarks towards me and my male friend. He got nowhere with this.

    He Then proceeded to try and cause division and singled her and one of her friends out making extremely insulting and sneaky remarks about them and their appearance.

    One reference was “Down syndrome head on ye” just so you get an idea of the animal we were dealing with.

    He also roared shouting at another friend to go and buy him a cocktail.

    She then after much provocation let a few mild insults back his way. Nothing referencing his sexuality.

    He bulled through the pub knocking ppl like skittles then ran to the women’s toilets crying and shouting he had been a victim of a homophobic attack.

    Unbelievable that some ppl seem to think this is acceptable and normal behaviour.

    I have seen this numerous times now, a gay guy using his sexuality to bully straight guys, it's weird as the times I have seen it they got away with far more than a straight guy. Once a guy snapped and punched him in the face, from an objective observers point of view the lad was well within his rights but he was the one turfed out, gay lad claiming homophobe.

    Any Scottish guy was probably the biggest wstain I have seen on the show

    I think the biggest issue with the Scottish guy is that he wasn’t the star of the show. He waltzed in their with his entourage fully expecting to be the dominant and flamboyant one. Then he met Hughie and for sure he knew who he was, so was upstaged from the very start. It was extremely bad match making by the producers. Hopefully we see Hughie back again, and I even hope the Scottish guy is back also.

    Dear God no. I want normal people, not wannabe "celebrity" muppets.

    What you all think of your one with the seventh son ?

    He wasn't a seven son

    I actually think most people in it this series have been likeable, which makes a change.

    The only exceptions were the crude gay lad from Sligo, the 7th son gob****e, the clown from Scotland with his "entourage" and that absolute melt Hughie.

    I thought orange hands girl was ok apart from hanging your man out to dry by letting him say yes/no first.

    Enjoying it so far.

    Said th same to my wife... guy was pissed that he wasn't the drama queen of the night.

    He was so rude and came across as an absolute dickhead tho


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭VonLuck


    I think the Scottish guy was the perfect pairing for your man Hughie. Both insufferable, but were both able to bring each other down a peg or two.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 678 ✭✭✭Joe Don Dante


    the Scottish Guy and Hughie was all a set up, had to be, either that or the Scott copped Hughie was a cream cracker the minute he saw him

    I think they knew the Scottish guys personality.
    Even the people I know who really dislike travellers have the ability to tip away with them when they have to.

    100% that had to be a production/editorial decision.

    What was that BS about being the 7th son of a 7th son all about even?
    I had never heard of it before but I am sure he would tell everybody he has ever met about it if he's telling the country about it!

    If you think that's old folklore nonsense, wait til you hear about how a person gets the "cure of the burn".

    You lick the back of a lizard.

    Now if we get someone with that on, I'll be impressed.

    I'm sure the Scottish fella was looking forward to someone licking his lizard....

    Hughie was on the 6 o’clock show on VM today, talking about how he could only recently sit down again after having his 2nd Brazilian butt lift job done. It’s rare enough for a bloke to get this procedure. I don’t even like the huge arse look on women so cannot understand why a bloke would want it. He mentioned too that he wanted to get liposuction. Lovely lad but he is going too far with all these operations.

    How can he afford all these expensive procedures? What does he work at?.................

    These procedures probably cost around 5 or 10 grand. And they are getting more and more popular, it’s not just Turkey doing them now, you can go to the Baltic’s or Eastern Europe and there are lot of places doing them.
    I was in Istanbul 2 years ago, at first when I saw a fella walking down the street with his head bandaged and visor over his face I didn’t know what it was. After few days it was such a common sight and I knew what it was, mostly hair transplants but some guys and lots of women getting nose jobs. Even on flight home to dublin I counted at least 10 blokes that were still bandaged up.

    Hughie would be a great contestant for Celebs go dating on E4. Tho his profile is probably not big enough in uk to get that gig.

    Why?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,272 ✭✭✭Barna77


    Only got to catch up with this season now

    Delighted for Shane and Avril. They seemed genuinely lovely, and I'd ask him out if he played for the other team :p

    Rory from Sligo and last week's gay guys were cringy to watch.

    The two girls were a laugh. Ah the oysters :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,751 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    Why?

    He makes great tv does our Hughie.

    The gay guys they've had on this season have been pretty filthy in terms of banter.
