FFS 10 posts and the recession gets mentioned.

<unpopular opinion> what recession?

Was the "clapped out" bloke in that clip off Bosco? I think he was!

Jesus, 15 years since Dermot Morgan died. I was in my early 20s then and thought "dead at 46", that's not very old really. Now I realise just how shockingly young it really was. <old fart>

Fr. Ted and Mrs. Brown's Boys should never even be mentioned in the same thread.

I rarely buy DVDs nowadays but I think I'll invest in the scrap saturday boxset.

Great interview with him here on the late late, back when the late late was decent.

After watching that interview I wiki'ed Glenamaddy. Anyone else think the Glenamaddy section on wikipedia is maybe less than impartial?

Glenamaddy is the most important town in the northeastern corner of County Galway. It became the musical capital of Connacht during the 1960s when the Showband craze swept the country. To the east of the town lies Loch Lurgeen, a raised bog. The origins of the Parish (which was originally called Boyounagh) lie in the village of Boyounagh which lies to the North West of Glenamaddy Town.

GAA: Glenamaddy has amazing facilities. Many clubs can only dream of facilities like these. GAA has huge GAA heritage and there is an old story that Cú Chulainn played for Glenamaddy. Today Glenamaddy are still going strong with Patrick Conneally a driving force behind the scenes.

Did you write this Patrick Connealy?

Reading this from China. He was right - they are a great bunch of lads

elefant · 28-02-2013 02:09PM

They told him to cut it down to 8 hours a day...

Dermot is dead. The Pope is just going home by helicopter.

He was only the second best priest in the country

silverharp · 28-02-2013 02:51PM

was it true that the trainee priests in Maynooth cheered the day he died?

jprboy · 28-02-2013 03:12PM

He did a show in the UL Concert Hall June 1997 (not much more than 6 months before he died) and it was one the best comedy gigs I've ever been at.

You could see he really relished being on stage and feeding off the reaction from the crowd.

I laughed so much and so hard that my glasses kept steaming up and I came out of there in a lather of sweat - my brother was with me and to this day he still talks about the helpless perspiring mad man beside him !
