    Missy is very polished for a young teenager...

    "I know the casting agent"....

    As you do.

    She will get a job in RTE by the time she is 18..

    And her Mum 'knows' the cameraman on the two films in which Missy has
    acted! Pure coincidence of course!! ;)

    Because she's Ronan Keating's daughter, Ryan, you twit.

    (Evening all)

    And her Mum's boyfriend, John Conroy, is the cameraman!
    He was cameraman also on Missy's previous film!! :)

    Yvonne Keating is 37? I think she looks great but I would have put her in her early 40's. Surprised about that.

    She bears a strong resemblance to the mother in Crystal Swing.

    It must be a complete kick in the teeth to kids who attend acting school and speech and drama to think that Missy can jump the queue because of her connections. Then again, this is Ireland, and it's always been a case of "not what you know, but who you know" in every single facet of Irish life.

    It's so true.

    Which of course leads you to a situation of working on who you know, rather than working or education, or ability.

    She doesn't look like either of them and comes across much better than both of
    them!

    What are you insinuating, brooke? Surely you're not suggesting that she's getting the parts just because she's related to a well-known boy-band father and her mum ''is known to'' the cameraman. And are you further implying that the LLS would be complicit in such nefarious nepotism?

    Leonard Cohen would punch this priest for referring to Hallelujah as an "x-factor" song.

    And rightly so.

    As an aside, heard during the week that Peaches Geldof's husband, Thomas Cohen,
    is Leonard Cohen's grandson.

    Very true. Reminds me of 'author' Cecelia Ahern.

    Only heard about the Leonard Cohen connection once, grey - on Ireland AM when two showbiz columnists were on with Mark Cagney earlier in the week. Have never seen it written anywhere, which I find surprising. The two guys have been in the industry for years and know Bob.

    Loved Stellenbosch and Paarl country! Had lunch at the Two Oceans restaurant - view was magical!

    Amazing to see places outside Capetown called Bantry Rd. and Glengarriff Rd.! Some of the scenery reminded me of West Cork, especially the top of Table Mountain. :)

    Would definitely love to go back!! :)

    Was there any mention of steroids or PEDs to Pienaar?
    François Pienaar, who led South Africa to victory in the 1995 Rugby World Cup, admitted last month having taken performance-boosting stimulants before his country's re-admission to international sport in 1992.

    'I started taking pills because everyone else did. Nobody batted an eyelid,' Pienaar said. 'They helped you through a hard 80 minutes if you were struggling with physical fitness.'

    Capella is 42 light years from earth. That means I was looking at Capella as it appeared in 1972.

    Give another look in around 20 years time. It might be performing some eurodance hits from the early 90's. :D

    If a certain host had done his research maybe....;)

    But, we were lucky to not to have listened to a paid LLS genealogist tracing the O'Pienaar's back to the 12th Century in Irish folklore...

    That would be a hard question Frankie....

    (I think, in fairness, Francois would have answered honestly, he doesn't seem to dodge hard questions..It was never going to happen with Mr. T....:()
