You’d think it was the Royal Shakespearean production of Hamlet the way Duffy talked about it and not some innuendo-laden amateur dramatics production. They ended up doing the panto once (not a typo) and recorded it, they were going to show it as a drive through in Malahide Castle at €50 a car which ultimately got cancelled (possibly by the Gardai). So they got €230,000 for one performance.

So they did appearances on the Late Late Show, and VM1. Movie wasn't well received. And yeah, George McMahon 'tried' to make it in Hollywood... only thing is, you have to have talent over there.That and his weird 'jerking it' on top of someone's car court case years back is still bizarre. Even Hollywood can't cover THAT up.

The farmer, who asked not to be identified, claimed McMahon stood in front of his 4x4, hauled himself on to the vehicle and "had sex with the windscreen". He has made a full written statement to gardai, who say they are actively pursuing the case. The man, in his mid-30s, claimed McMahon danced on the Hyundai Santa Fe during the late-night incident a fortnight ago. The four occupants froze as a group of around 12 people, led by McMahon and including another Irish celebrity, allegedly surrounded their jeep in Clonmel, Co Tipperary.

Very amusing podcast on the live line last week, worth a listen but transparency seems a real issue.
