    Joe Brolly.

    And judging by the video I just got of him, it might not be too long happening.

    "I am so miserable, feeling trapped, with my model girlfriend, free pass into UCD on Scholarship, pissing around in a middling band, less than average rugby player. You dont understand mental illness".

    Pal maybe if you got off your ass, did something for yourself instead of being propped up by Mammy and Daddys cash, you would be happier.

    "The recipe for sweet and sour is half sugar and half vinegar. If you couldnt taste the sour how you know the sweet?" So my boss told me.

    There is nothing wrong with this sad sack only terminal boredom. No wonder Ros Purcell dumped him.

    Had a good laugh reading this thread. Been living away for a few years and forgot about most of these people. Most irish "celebs" seems like pure cretins. off the top of my head;

    - all of boyzone
    - brian McFadden
    - vogue whatever her name is
    - Gerald kean (the "celeb" solicitor)
    - Michael flatly
    - rosanna Davidson and husband
    - barry egan

    Not sure why Brian O'Driscoll is on this list? The rest of them yeah absolutely but BOD was a world class rugby player who focused on his sport. I don't remember him engaging with any kind of celebrity status other than appearing now and again with his wife at events. Since he's retired I can't remember him being in the limelight at all?!

    People think that he comes across as an arrogant smug D4 toff. An unfair estimation imo.

    Since his retirement he has been annoying people through his media work (specifically on Newstalk radio).

    In fairness he is very bland and extraordinarily unfunny at times. Not suited to that line of work imo.
