    That incident did her no favours. Has only got bit parts on tv since. I wouldn't judge people by their performance hosting Winning Streak. Its a cringefest.
    One thing in Geri Mayes favour- she copped onto herself before marrying Ray Darcy.

    Yep-swiftly pushed off the telly. IT was a shame too-like, I remember her joining the then new 'N2' rebranded network two, alongside Fiona McShane, Pamela Flood, and Jon Slattery as the then continuity announcers. Jon is one of the few out of the N2 folks who's still working-I believe Laura Woods joined shortly after the rest of the crew.

    McShane was swiftly dropped-and if you saw her other tv appearances, you'll know why (not a nice person). Flood migrated to Off the Rails, then TV3 I believe.
    Maye did childrens TV, then the DEn, then 'Socky's big little morning show', then Would you Believe...
    She seemed like she was up for a bit of craic, at least, but boy did something change in the years between kids tv and now.

    Sad how some can almost burn out on tv-crazy to think of all the Irish tv folks who've disappeared in the meantime.

    Patrick Warburton. He's apparently a very nice man, but the sound of his voice makes me unreasonably furious. I'm not impressed by you, Patrick Warburton.

    That disgusting excuse for a human being Clare Balding, who humiliated that jock a few years ago asking to look at his crooked teeth. Fcuking cheek of her to pass any comment on peoples looks when she looks so ugly herself, she should be never allowed back on TV.

    She didn't need to refer to them at all!
    His teeth didn't impact on his skills as a jockey.

    But they were so wonky as to be noteworthy on their own.

    As far as I'm concerned if that jockey wasn't even a famous jockey an interview with him would still be required on the basis of his wonky teeth.

    1st question "What's up with your teeth mate?"

    She's just giving the people what they want.

    I think they're cool. Fantasism that takes them out of their stressful lives. Each to their own, though :)

    I completely get that. Limp handshake puts me off someone straight away.

    Can't stand people who judge other people based off of their handshake, rather than the content of their character. How superficial.

    A limp dead fish handshake is a sure sign of the ' content of their character ' IMO.

    Age of consent in Britain at the time was around 12 or 13-not excusing it, but he was not breaking the law at the time.

    That said, it was Douglas, his lover, who had a particular fondness for the rent boys.

    Unfortunately, you are correct. But its the hypocrisy that p1sses me off. All rapists and paedos are scum, even if they are talented at something else. Every paedo priest, every rapist dad or boyfriend or random attacker, every fiddling TV personality or sports coach are ALL scum...... Unless of course they're upper class Anglo-Irish, protestant, D4 types. Sure then its grand :rolleyes:

    Basically every straight sexually active male who lived before 1700 was a paedophile then.

    Possibly-but they weren't breaking the law, immoral as it was.

    Remember Paul Gaugain, the famous celebrated Impressionist painter?

    Yeah, one of his most notable painting, The Tahitian Women, depicts two voluptuous Tahitian Women. Gaugain went on to marry one of them. She was 13.

    At the time of the marriage, he was still married-tho separated.
    She then went on to bear him a child.
    He technically had broken the law at the time-tho in Tahitian Culture, he had not.

    Agree with Ivan Yates,

    He jumps ship , tries to avoid any responsibility.

    But comes on every day as if he is the moral guide for Ireland - a lad who never did a real days work in his life and claims he was burnt out at 40 or something daft.

    A total spoilt child .

    Agree on everything except for the 'never did a real days work...' bit- he grew up on a farm, learned how do it all, including castrating calves. Even ran the farm for a number of years before getting into politics.

    Bressie.

    Interesting one is bressie, I have seen him interviewed and read interviews and really feel for him sometimes. However he makes his living in the most evil vacuous industry in existence, and that cannot help ones mental health. He has sex appeal and that has sold out a few gigs for him, but to see yourself as a musician, selling out gigs for non music reasons is not good for your mental health. I really doubt any of his tunes have left an impression on anyone. I remember his band got the ACDC gig in punchestown and 80,000 people thought "HOW? WHY??" That sounds great to your pop rock mates but if you are a musician it might just eat at you a little that you got a gig based on good PR and not music.

    Didnt he go crawling back to the band he left for a solo career after his "solo" career didn't take off

    i think the band is more of a hobby for them all at this stage. One of my mates had a "signed" band at that time and it was interesting to follow both bands careers, my mate had toured Europe and worked hard and did well, but made nothing whatsoever, and i remember walking into heuston station and there was a huge full size bill board of "the blizzards" and it amused me because any normal band at that level wouldn't have the cash for such PR.

    Anyway i'm at a stage now where i think a band getting signed to a big label is the end of a band as an art form. The big bands of olden times had a bargaining chip (ie they sold albums) new bands don;'t have that luxury so they essentially become employees and have to dress and do what they are told.
