Who is someone you inexplicably can't stand?

Jennifer O’Connell, who writes for the Irish Times.

I know nothing about her and never read her articles. I find her inordinately high forehead very off putting.

Then I scroll down and see Una Mulally’s bulldog chewing on a nettle visage, which prompts an involuntary shudder and a rapid click to more entertaining news outlets.

Yes, I’d agree on Una Mullally.

I remember she herself used to post on the hotpress message board back about however many years ago... hyper opinionated, and not at all tolerant of opinions that were not in keeping with hers. Not very open minded or willing to show understanding or empathy with differing viewpoints , she was woke before that term existed too.

Una Mullalys Irish Times bio picture makes her look like a cross between Myra Hindley and Squeaky Fromme.

Lucy Kennedy. She’s ignorant arrogant and completely talentless. She’s ruined Classic Hits morning show. Just the sound of her voice makes me want to claw my own eyes out.

Gerry Ryan (Rip) was a smug git , and now his daughter is equally as smug

That's because he does

I'm happy to confirm you are 100% correct and relieved I'm not just imagining things.

Haha I had some very similar thoughts on her too earlier in the thread!

Yeah I’ll be honest I was delighted when she moved from Nova - had singlehandedly ruined the morning slot for years. I’m a tad bewildered as to how they got the gig on Classic Hits (a bigger station) when I’ve never heard anyone say a single positive thing about that show

John Oliver. Classic smuggy, highbrow little weasel. Same thing every time - Look at how stupid this person is, act shocked and confused (despite it all being pre-scripted), mock that person, repeat. The giddiness he gets from feeling superior to others is pretty sickening.

And notice everything he's campaigned for (chicken f**kers, Vote Hillary, etc etc) has failed?

Literally, his 'batting average' is atrocious.

Another one of those people who once they mock etc the right people they'll getaway with it.

To paraphrase Pat Shortt.

She has her daddy's head on her.

I’m not a Trump fan boy by any measure but I adore this video. They were all so so so smart, the smug gits. The final line is a piece of art.

Aisling O'Loughlin and her theories.

Liam Cunningham

I'd imagine his dream is to play Jim Larkin in some biopic. Has an disingenuousness about him and got a creepy vibe off him in a Leeson st nightclub

Likes to act out a world wary stoic persona that alludes to a mysteriousness that isn't there.

I get that same vibe off of him.

There's this pretentiousness and 'solve the world's problems' thing he goes on about... but none of it feels genuine.

Her and Laura Whitmore are like relics from the Celtic Tiger era. Both blank behind the eyes.

I think his head/facial expression do him no favors.

USED to be of the same view as you.......but, in fairness, she did nail that rte " dancing with the staff" thingy...........she put the graft in, went from 'two left feet' to being Broadway quality.....I gave her kudos for that
