    Yes indeed lads agus lassies. Im talking about the new ad on Irish Tv with Mr.Fran Cosgrave...he of Celebrity Love Island 'fame.' :-p Personally, I dont know bout y'all but the ad really gets on my nerves. Its the one for 11850 Directory Enquiries, with him trying to look all cool dancing with girls who mustve been in 50 cents last video!!! 'Get A Number, Get A New Gaff'
    Indeed.:confused:

    he was a bodyguard for westlife, not boyzone.
    oh and me and my family/friends have been saying "gaff" for as long as i remember. not an "english" thing to say.

    He is possibly the biggest wanker that Ireland has ever produced throughout history.

    You're being too kind to him. :mad:

    I think a boycott of 11850 is in order...maybe we could storm their offices as well as I know I am pretty offended everytime I see that ad. :p

    Get a number, get on reality TV.
    Get a number, get that many minutes fame.
    Get a number, get that many thousand more like you after you.
    Get a number, thats the channel I've changed to.
