If you say hello to him you get one of 2 responses, If your from Waterford: "How do" If your not from Waterford: "ITS MY ****IN TOWN!"

We could even try and track down Elvis although I think that chap might have died. Maybe Monica would like to show her wares in the hope of catching her big break. I'm sure it'd be a lot more entertaining than the majority of stuff on E!.

Relaxing and taking his ease by a magnificent Steineberg Fireplace at the company’s Coolgower showrooms on the Tramore Road is well known personality and former Knight of the Road, Mr Thomas ‘Tawdy’ Morrissey. Originally from Castle Street in the city, Tawdy has been a familiar figure in the city for several generations and readers will be pleased to see him looking so well. Among Tawdy’s friends are the Power family who own Steineberg Fireplaces, singer Brendan Bowyer (a boyhood acquaintance) and film stars Ursula Andress and the late George Peppard whom he met when he was an extra in their film The Blue Max that was shot on location in County Wicklow.
