    He lost it after him thinking he was so important he should be allowed access to the Irish rugby team during 07 world cup was it?!

    He was doing some documentary following the team.

    The couple of travel series based in America he did were actually quite good.

    I like him, he is sharp witted and funny, he is not a cardboard cut-out like many other media people in Ireland. Too many bland personalities on the radio and tv, Hector is a breath of fresh air.

    He's not as big a dose as Alison Spittle, but by fukc it's a close run thing....
    Either one come on the radio, it's turned off at once.

    Things I associate with Hector; Navan, speaking Irish, very pale skin & gelled sticky up hair (trying to be cool), seems nice enough, but annoying :-)

    He's alright. Not the worst. I think people have a problem with him sometimes because he's a "bogger" on tv/radio.

    If you don't live in Dublin you are a culchie. It's been extended to a few satellite towns.

    If you live in Cork city, to a Dub you are a culchie. Used to make me laugh when cork people were telling stories about 'culchies'

    People in Limerick city call folk from the countryside culchies.

    I find him extremely irritating, he's terribly forced and insincere.

    There was a time when you'd have been considered a culchie for living in the likes of Blanchardstown and Tallaght so there's hope for everyone. Probably not in your lifetime but its something for your great grandkids to look forward to.

    On Hector, I like him, seems harmless enough.

    Well any Dubliner that believes that is a narrow-minded insecure git!
    Definition of Culchie:
    Oxford English Dictionary (OED): "one who lives in, or comes from, a rural area; a (simple) countryman (or woman), a provincial, a rustic"

    He's a clown.

    Off topic but watching those savage eye clips it really is the best comedy sketch show RTE have ever commissioned.

    No Dubliners believe that, but there's nothing more fun than calling a langer a culchie because it drives them mad. Cark is a city boi!

    Is he meant to be funny though? He's not a comedian.

    Personally I used to be able to take him, when he first appeared on the scene. But can't stand him now.

    I just hate all that GAA, village, parish, breakfast warriors, shtick. Hate it.

    Hector Central is the name of his Central America travel show. I saw one episode a while back. Wanted to see the rest, and lo and behold it's on TG4 right now.

    TG4's Imigh le Sruth with Aoife Ni Chonchuir was always a far better watch.

    She was genuinely interested in the people & places she visited, while the village idiot was off being wacky in a way young garda sergeants and inter-county footballers found hilarious.
