    Have to say I'm shocked you said aslan. I've met them and drank with them a few times and think they are such genuine, funny lads. I think they are hilarious, and very very down to earth.

    Reminds me of the time I was in my local. A famous band were there because its the singers local too. One of my friends met him in the toilet and said Jesus haven't seen you here since you got famous. He then went on to say how much he hated the other lads in the band and everyone in the pub thinks they are knobs.

    Out they walked from the toilets lol
    Maybe I caught them on a bad day then, or maybe barstaff are beneath them. :pac:

    To be honest a lot of musicians can be like that sometimes (and I say that as a bass player myself). I actually go out of my way to avoid my local music instrument stores cause I always felt they were looking down on me cause I wasn't part of the local musos clique.

    Obviously working in a bar means I tend to meet more than my fair share of Joe Public tossers too.

    The night I was drinking with aslan in ballybunion they had played a gig there and all through the night people I knew kept stealing Christy's shoes and asking him if he wanted heroin trying to be "funny".. If it was me I would have lost it but he even chatted to the same fckers after the show that tried to ruin his night. Very nice guy and maybe he was just having a bad night when you met him.

    A certain Northern Irish ex Formula 1 driver. Spent half a day in his company when he was doing some promotional shyte. Went out of his way to be a tosser. The girls who had been assigned to him as handlers took it in alternate two hour shifts, as no one could stand his company for longer than that.

    Lars Ulrich. My GOD what a complete and utter stain on humanity.

    Do please expand.

    Four or five people I went to school with.

    Meeting them ten years after I've left just reaffirms that they were, are and always will be tossers of the highest order.

    I once had to sit beside Cork radio presenter Neil Prendeville on an Aer Lingus flight from Lindon. What a tosser!

    He gave us One and it was amazing!

    Stunning double pounding, with passion, showing amazing dexterity and so for that, I'll forgive him all.

    Oh and he's good at the drums too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 498 ✭✭bobbytables


    he goes we'll see about that and stuffs a fiver into my shirt pocket and i politely declined and gave it back to him, he got thick and went off to the restaurant then
    I think the best way to treat people like that is to beat them with their own sh1t,
    E.g. respond in a condescending tone, stating that a fiver is a lot less tha what most other patrons would have offered you in similar circumstances.

    Exploit people like that to your advantage. Especially in front of their mates.

    That'll learn them.

    He's one of the worst drummers out there. When Lombardo filled in for him when he was injured the difference was amazing. Lars is a joke drummer.

    Biggest tosser. Padraig Flynn. Boy did he think he **** smelt like roses.

    Not just him tbh, the whole band from my experience. Got a call from their PR guy when I was working in an Airport hotel in the early hours. They wanted to book out a wing of the hotel so they could have a shower before flying out on their private jet after a gig.

    Their contact had said he wanted to make sure no one would know they were there, because they wanted some privacy. They strolled in through a crowd of people, surrounded by roadies... and what I'm guessing were bodyguards... sat down in the lobby, and when two guys that had been to the gig came over to ask them for an autograph James & Lars just did a shooing motion with their hands and told them to f*ck off.

    Where do you think the money for your private jet came from...
    Absolute d*ckheads...

    One of the biggest I met is a cop,he's married to a friend & he loves to tell everyone he's a cop.Most guards I know don't broadcast the fact when they are off duty.This guy can't help himself,he thinks it makes him more important than everyone else.

    One night we were all in a nightclub & there was a bit of a scrap,of course Robocop waded in shouting "I'm a guard".One of my mates turned to him & said "I don't give a fcuk who you are,get out of my way or I'll knock you out too".

    He went off & spent the rest of the night sulking.

    I don't have much dealings with him now but from what I've heard he's managed to become an even bigger tosser than ever.

    I can't even remember the last time I had paper money!

    I can't even afford the price of a box of matches :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 221 ✭✭Kitty-kitty


    I'm not naming which one but I've had the displeasure of dealing with one of the former Lord Mayors of Dublin in work and been given some serious 'do you know who I am' attitude.

    It'd be along the same lines of me ringing Electric Ireland and refusing to give any details but my name and my job title.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,646 ✭✭✭washman3


    Michael McDowell former cabinet minister.
    an obnoxious a###hole of the highest order.
    Really looks down his nose at "ordinary" people.

    Do your research, any account of encounters with Bono I've seen make him out to be a really nice guy.

    Kerry McFadden or Katona as she is now

    Pure wagon

    Used to be around Artane in Dublin when himself Brian would be visiting the family

    I know 2 big tossers. One was a girl I used to know in school who became a guard, she works in a different town but will come back to her hometown and walk around wearing her uniform or if she is out in a nightclub she gets a garda car to come pick her up.

    Another tosser I know tells everyone she meets (no exageration) that she has a degree in english, she is a teacher, her fiance is an engineer and she is getting married next year, it's headwrecking!! She looks down her nose at everyone, even her family. The funny thing is I can't even read her texts, her english is that bad.
