    Does anyone know where "The Miseducation of Ross O' Carroll Kelly" can be bought? I can't find it anywhere.

    Try www.obrien.ie - they're the publishers & might have some kicking around the place that you could buy

    I used to date guys just like Ross in my single days, have all the books & almost cry with laughter every time I read them, and the columns in the Trib. The guy is a legend!

    How do they pronounce Sorcha in D4?

    In Galway, we always pronounced it 'Sir-uh-ka', but I've heard 'Soir-sha' before?

    There's a new book out soon, roysh?

    Ross is a focking legend, and we're talking TOTALLY here. So is Christian, and Fionn (the sneaky focker), and even Oisinn. When Oisinn, like, went on Cilla Black and flashed his knob at Clur, I was like, in stitches, the funny fock. What makes the books for me, like, if this doesn't sound too gay, is that Ross isn't a complete orsehole. You can see that Christian and even, OH! MY! GOD! Sorcha (even though that girl is, like, SO! duhhhhhh!) mean a lot to him, even though he treats them like ****. He's a stor.

    Adrian mole rip-off? As in a book that's written in the first-person?

    That's around about where the similarities end.

    Adrian Mole was a teenage anxt book, Ross O'C-K is anything but anxty!
