Limericks 'Sexiest' men

panda100

Opened the Chronicle last week to see a countdown of Limericks top 50 sexiest men , as decided by Celia Holman Lee. It was one of the funniest things I'd seen in a long time.

Willie O'Dea is Limericks 24th sexiest man?! Is there any hope for women in the treaty city?!

I'm beginning to see why you had to move to Dublin.

That link appears to be broken.

But for a start who could take an article seriously who asks Celia Holman Lee to decide, she should stick to posing for the After Hours photo section of the Limerick Post.

There was a guy in the Limerick post two weeks back(3 weeks maybe) that I went to school with who was in the final 50.

He is hardly anything much to look at and I text a friend about it and his reply was

"There is hope for us all"

Apart from Stephen Lucey and a few Munster rugby players the list consists of overweight,bald, ageing, wealthy married men. I think its less to do with sex appeal and more to do with status. Wouldn't expect anything less from Celia Holman lee. I saw her going into Boots last Christmas and she had what looked liked a dead fox on her head. Why oh why do the Limerick papers give her so much attention!

I'll hazard a guess and say that it is because we live in a glorified village where it doesn't take much to be considered "somebody".

Still I'd rather have the likes of her make the papers on behalf of Limerick than the usual shower of scum.

I was originally meant to be number 24 - but Willie did his own bargaining and robbed my place :mad:

Paul hogan is on the list .

What would Celia know, she's probably filled the list with some of her male friends/acquaintances and people from the fashion/beauty sector. Willie at 24 though.... next he'll be Heat's Torso of the Week if this carries on;)

Pity there are no pics of these fine things, I'm afraid I don't recognise a few names in that list

That's not the rumour I meant, or the the joke Henry meant.

lets not throw stones at willie o dea here now people. The care that goes into maintaining arguably the greatest moustache this side of Tom Selleck is enough to warrant his spot

I thought they would have just filled the top 10 with 10 rugby players, battered faces or not, which would sum up this town.

On a side not, how come every week in the Limk papers we have pics of celia holman lee, fiona doyle and the greatest hairdresser in the world, niall colgan. who the f**k are these people???!! :mad:

while personally the "in" crowd disgust me in general (especially Holman Lee) but the 3 mentioned people at least give positive publicity to the city.

fair enough , but there's more to Limerick than f**king "socialites".

The 50 sexiest men is more or less a collection of those who have appeared on the out and about pages over the last year...

wylo

ya in fairness, im a straight male and I can honestly there is 50 better looking lads in limerick than that 50. If im wrong Ive completely misjudged a limerick womans taste.

As The Hold Steady sang -

I am the sexiest man in Limerick, so I am.

My magic mirror told me.

That list is laughable tbh.

Too right she is. I am SICK of that michelle mcmahon.

wong

Celia Holman Lee.. what a douche

goingpostal

The fact that me and my sexy bod wasn't included in this competition says all that needs to be said about the validity and credibility of this contest. How could they overlook His Royal Sexiness (me)? Its a conspiracy I tells ye, a dirty conspiracy.

That list is hilarious. So few of the men are even remotely good looking. Surely it would have made sense to list a few of the good looking and well known men. And then scout out the bars and streets looking for actually good looking men and ask if they would like to be considered for the list. Then they could put together a list of 50 actually sexy men which wouldn't make a laughing stock of the city.

I can only imagine what my (Dublin) husband would say about why I had to look further afield for a man if he sees this list.:mad:

We need a stewards enquiry. Is it possible for me to be the sexiest man in Limerick and the second sexiest man in Limerick at the same time? My sexiness is of such magnitude that i believe it has abrogated the laws of physics and biology.

If Willie O'Dea made it, there's hope for us all. Mind you his comments about it when interviewed were refreshing.
