People who are constantly called inspirational, when in reality were anything but.

An amatuer boxer winning a gold medal and then doesn't have the balls to turn professional. Don't understand the hype.

If Katie Taylor had testicles, I'd be very concerned.

Bieber, redicilously good looking with a one in a million voice, yet we're told to never say never and that people doubted him in his mere 14 years on earth before finding fame.

What?!

If Giggsy's wife divorced him and took half of everything he would still have six more premier league medals than Steven Gerrard.

Yes but he would still be a wanker who rode his own brothers wife.

Steve Jobs. Turned half arsed electronics into a pathetic religion for some people. And by all accounts, on a personal level a tosser of a man. The worst thing about it being that when Apple eventually runs out of relevant add ons to put on new iPhone models and Samsung starts to properly swallow them, we will have various talking heads paraded out talking pretentious nonsense about how it would never have happened under the watch of the Great Leader.

Anyone say Marilyn Monroe yet?

Girls have her quotes all over Facebook. The woman was a damn junkie yo'!!

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at myworst you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best"

Any woman Ive ever known to use this on their quotes is usually a highly strung wagon of the highest order.

Brian Lenihan

Willie O'Dea....:P:P

An inspiration to all those who wish to grow a proper moustache...

Katie Taylor - Don't understand all the hype.

Agree. Male boxing is way more competitive and our medal winners in that don't get half the publicity for a more difficult feat

What do you count as inspiration.

People who make you believe you can do something. - You can change the world, run the business or make a difference.

People who make you want to do something. - I want to achieve something in life and be like him/her.

Or people who actually make you do something. - He / she is making so much out of their lives that I am a complete waste of a human if I don't try and replicate it.

Or something entirely different?

Hugh Hefner... Durty Lucky old B4stard..

Roy Keane

Acting like a coked up lunatic is not inspirational.

Even Keanes greatest onfield enemies like Patrick Viera have admired his commitment in spite of any personal hatreds. His management record is atrocious but you cannot detract from his demand for flawlessness from his team colleagues and his own managers.

I think Michael O Leary is a hero myself. He could not give a swinging sh1t what the rest of the world thinks about him and he is laughing all the way to the bank because of it. If you dont like small leg room and no free food and beer, take a flight to Prague that doesnt cost less than a train to Galway. Otherwise fair play to him for bringing in a system where you dont spend a weeks wages on a return to the continent.

Oprah
Dalai Lama
Echart tolle
Deepak Chopra
Jesus Christ
Martin Luther King (black dude)


Actually I never thought of them as Inspirational. I can't stand them, but I know many people would probably have thought some of these to be inspirational and now finding themselves thinking, what the f*ck was I thinking?

Too right. I like Obama but it is a bit of a fcuked situation when in the Obama vs Clinton primary stage a key point of the campaign leaned on securing the support of women who hang off the every word of someone who presents a daytime talkshow.
