Did anyone else get this in the daily mail today?
Hilarious

I especially liked:
"Many South Dubliners are pleasantly surprised to discover that these qualifications are recognised by their father's companies of their fathers' friends' companies, where many of them will spend the rest of their working lives.

What did you think?

I so love those books roysh they are so so funny and so so true

It's getting quite laboured at this stage.

You'd think it would be,but it isn't really.

He seems to be incorpoating pictures of irish "celebs" now... as well as randomers from the beach and trinity

Agent Smith · 27-05-2007 07:05PM

I read it at work, Amusing to say the least.....

jesus_thats_gre · 27-05-2007 07:41PM

The books are still good but the stuff published in newspapers is generally quite poor.

Sangre · 27-05-2007 07:43PM

I've never, ever heard someone say 'roysh'.

Mrs. MacGyver · 27-05-2007 07:44PM

Yes quite humourous especially the Yummy Mummy bit and their top heroes. For the record not all horse mad country protestants are up for it at the Dublin Horseshow (just incase ye were wondering)! I wish he would do one on the Northside of Dublin just to see his take on it. He had to get the bit in about the Leinster schools cup in didnt he lol

Blondie86Star · 27-05-2007 07:51PM

Who's that girl on the third page with the coctail...is she a celeb?

zuutroy · 27-05-2007 08:53PM

The writing was always too grating for me to be bothered reading. All that stupid phonetic English gives me a headache.

Stargal · 27-05-2007 08:57PM

Anyone know why it was given away with the Mail on Sunday rather than the Sunday Tribune?

Dr. Seuss · 27-05-2007 09:01PM

Who the fook is Ross O'Carroll?

Roysh, yah I'm sure you haven't loike....hmmm

Take a Dort trip to Dalkey and wander around the village, have a pint in Queens pub and see if that holds true.

Limerick Dude · 27-05-2007 11:30PM

R.O.C.K never gets old, the books are great, though the recent stuff in the tribune has been below usual standard. First book is still the best, pure genius!

Pepe LeFrits · 27-05-2007 11:33PM

Coo, must pop down and pick this up. Thought Sydney Parade was a return to form as Curious Incident was fairly poor, though it still wasn't a patch on the first two.

Peyton Manning · 27-05-2007 11:36PM

always thought that The Miseducation Years was his best work myself..

28-05-2007 01:06AM

B!ue sticks tongue in cheek while reading paper...

I'll introduce you to the only 1 guy I worked for that sounded very like that.

But it was more of a "roIIIIth"

Hillarious.Just like the man himself.In his own mind.

Ross O'Carroll Kelly barely featured in it. It wasn't written in character as him. They just slotted him in in a couple of boxes. It was like a rehash of is it just me or is everything sh!t with ROCK stuck on the cover to help it sell well

kmick · 28-05-2007 10:11AM

R O'C-K is Muck
This stuff is just not funny.
Why is it so popular?

phasers · 28-05-2007 10:25AM

I'm getting it on sunday, the author is doing a signing and I want to meet him

Stephen · 28-05-2007 10:25AM

I wouldn't buy the daily/sunday mail, even with your money.

I've had more than enough experience of the people he's trying to take the piss out of. I've never heard someone say roysh (his most famous phrase). Lots of loikes and roights and doirts. But no royshs.

Yoor not saying it roight.

Overheard in south Dublin recently:

Mother: "We're leaving at 2 o'clock on the dot".
Daughter: "But Mum, you said we were driving!".

Had to smile.

besty · 28-05-2007 12:19PM

ROCK is painful to say the least. Seriously, it's so repetitive at this stage I can't understand how Paul Howard hasn't gotten the message and stopped flogging a dead horse! With that said, I'm sure sales are consistently high which has encouraged him to keep producing this tripe.

Wait. Wait. Wait!

I recall a a thread ages ago where you and this bird were having a convo with "roysh", "totally", etc. all over the place!

I think it was you anyway? I remember the guy was from Tallaght as well which was quite funny.

Was it you?
