    What's up with him?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭yagan


    Maybe he got blocked by his teenage swifty bracelet buddies.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,455 ✭✭✭Tork


    I wonder will the contrast between his holiday in Ireland and his return to the anonymity of London accelerate his return home? It must be hard to live with the contrast. People like him feed off being famous and being recognised.

    My wife and I bought a little holiday home in West Cork a few years back. I must say it can be very difficult to come back out of it. It’s such a sharp contrast between getting up late, sitting around reading, going for a swim in the sea, and the professional life in Dublin.

    likewise… though our holiday home is on the Baltic coast of Lithuania…. In a beautiful little seaside resort with bags of history. Here’s the beach a short 5 minute walk from us…

    Already spent about 6 weeks here this year and it hurts more and more to leave it to come back to sunny Ireland!!!

    Tubbers could have really done with taking today off as well…. Given it’s the morning after the night before I can’t imagine his audience is up for the craic of hearing all about sipping half pints of Bud Light in some bar on the West of Ireland in the pi$$ing rain…

    It’s tough returning to reality after bliss. I find that too, especially after a Silversea expedition where everything is handed to you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,761 ✭✭✭GSF


    but he’s a multi millionaire who doesn’t have to worry about money so what’s the story?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,493 ✭✭✭tohaltuwi


    I didn’t hear Tubridy this morning, but I accept the veracity of reports here. Maybe Tubbsy received some ad worse career news as he reported to work.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,836 ✭✭✭Brian Scan


    Beechwoodspark's report that the DLB was an unhappy bunny this morning was posted at 9.28, thirty two minutes before what is normally three hours of waffle started. Beechwoodspark must be a Tubridy insider.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,455 ✭✭✭Tork


    Oooh well spotted. Can we file this under "Another Beechwoodspark anecdote"?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,836 ✭✭✭Brian Scan


    Like most of our posts here it could be filed under "Too much time on our hands".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,455 ✭✭✭Tork


    Yet here you post…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,274 ✭✭✭Bobson Dugnutt


    I sometimes find it amusing that people who find it so easy to dish out criticism and invective are so seemingly incapable of accepting any criticism themselves. If it’s good enough for the goose then it’s good enough for the gander.

    I'll do one better for you now, enjoy:

    When he has to post his own "Welcome Back" says it all.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 161 ✭✭flyer_query


    Hilarious stuff. Poor aul @Beechwoodspark found out yet again to be a serial liar (its pretty much a daily occurrence that he slips up). He'll keep the head down for another few hours and hopes nobody notices and will be back later.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,841 ✭✭✭✭Beechwoodspark


    It was in relation to the photos posted.

    Haggard look to the man, a lot of baggage on his conscience.

    A sense of sullen desperation in his eyes.

    He wasn’t a happy bunny on air this morning also - clearly heard in his dreary monotone.

    Ok @flyer_query - I’ll bite …

    What “lies” have I told on this thread so?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 353 ✭✭Paterson Jerins


    Of course of course. How do you find time to explain to the boards posters how amazing your life is, with only 90mins a day online, a busy professional job on €150k+, and reading as much as ryan tubs???

    Truly amazing dedication to the craft of wum. Moan about posters hating on tubs, but you can say anything you desire about Callan and many other people. Pot kettle, goose gander. Bluffer spoofer.

    Wimbledon has been on for the past 2 weeks with the finals on Sat/Sun, the British GP & Henley regatta were on last week as well. All huge events as part of the London social season, manna from heaven for the movers and shakers and/or people trying to climb the ladder. As one of Ireland biggest exports* & foremost talents* you would think this would be prime ground for Tubsidy to mine, mingle with the stars, meet people, plug the show etc.

    But no, he spends the week in connemara, far from any crowd, before departing to london in a huff. Have we not been told repeatedly about what a big name he is, what a fantastic opportunity it is, how its now 'senior hurling'?

    I haven’t a clue who you are, but I’d suggest you learn to make your point without having to resort to personal abuse. I’d also suggest you just learn to not take the opinions of complete strangers on the internet so seriously? Like this is a silly and enjoyable thread so there’s no point getting hot under the collar about it. Relax.

    Taking Wimbledon alone - we had international A List actors (Tom Cruise, Benedict Cumberbatch, Courtney Cox, Tom Hiddleston etc etc etc) along with actual Royalty !!

    Where was Tubridy - this so called “man about town” and “huge star” ??

    Nowhere to be seen.

    The reason - Duck Egg Kelly wouldn’t shell out for the tickets - too pricey and with no good return.

    Good business acumen I guess…?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,761 ✭✭✭GSF


    Virgin radio in the U.K. has got rights to the Olympics too as part of News Group but unfortunately Tubridy won’t get any access as they don’t have Irish broadcast rights

    Snap! I was thinking the exact same thing this morning…it's been a very busy two weeks for the London social scene. It seems anyone who's anyone in the UK media scene has been at one of the above, and that includes Glastonbury as well. So it was an odd time for someone who's trying to make their name in the media over there to leave London.

    Still, "I'm on holiday back in Ireland" is the perfect excuse to anyone who might ask "Why didn't you go to Glastonbury/Henley/Wimbledon?", when the real answer might be "No one invited me."
