Fair play to yer wan, I think she looks great.

One of the Roses this year is my first cousin.

Wazdakka · 19-08-2009 4:34pm

Fair play to the Bullies I say..

It's just a picture and I'm bloody scared of her.

Corb · 19-08-2009 4:34pm

Good on her.

Ray D'Arcy looks like a cut out cardboard figure there.... (no jokes about our Ray now please!)

blondie7 · 19-08-2009 4:34pm

genericguy · 19-08-2009 4:36pm

Raiser · 19-08-2009 4:38pm

Lollipops23 · 19-08-2009 4:41pm

while i'm really delighted that there's a bigger girl competing this year, she looks more than a size 16 to me....given that I'm a 14 on bottom(good aul child bearin' hips!!) I know I look considerably smaller than her....

i like her hat too!

Canis Lupus · 19-08-2009 4:46pm

Lol... they let a fatty in.

genericguy · 19-08-2009 4:47pm

now we know what's eating gilbert grape.

hudsonriver · 19-08-2009 4:49pm

whats UUC, I thought UCC was the only university in Cork?

convert · 19-08-2009 4:49pm

It's about time that someone bigger than size 10 or 12 takes part in the Rose of Tralee. Some of the girls are hardly in it at all - you'd nearly expect them to disappear if they turned sideways! It also now lends a little more credence to the powers-that-be who are eagre to emphasise that the competition isn't a beauty contest!

Well, one of them anyway.

I think it's great! Pity no one gives a fcuk about the Rose of Tralee.

Mayoegian · 19-08-2009 4:53pm

Talking about the Rose of Tralee, where are the representatives of our counties? I counted 8 roses, that represent irish counties out of all the Roses. There are roses from flippin Toronto, AussieLand etc.etc. What happened to the good 'aul Mayo rose, or Clare Rose etc.

Will there be a Rose from Southern Yemen next year or something?:rolleyes:

ejmaztec · 19-08-2009 5:05pm

I wonder if Denny Pies is one of the sponsors this year?

Sadly, there's a lot of casual cruelty and callousness around the interwebs but I guess hurt people hurt people.

Not every county gets a rose.

The Irish based Rose's compete in regional competions. For example there is one for the West of Ireland. If a Galway girl wins it she is known as the Galway Rose for the Final if its a Mayo girl than she is the Mayo Rose etc.

What a load of non-story...

Salvelinus · 19-08-2009 5:45pm

Not enough tangoed Roses.

JONJO THE MISER · 19-08-2009 5:55pm

They probably only go in for the re-spray the morning before...

hudsonriver · 19-08-2009 6:00pm

I believe this is a case of "no more watery pies"

It's the nerdy new way of saying internet.

I doubt she didn't expect some "bullying" before she came on. After all, in today's world fat people are looked down upon as lazy, not sociable etc. If she wins it'll be the end of the Rose of Tralee, it's **** but atleast it's not a sympathy thing.

ejmaztec · 19-08-2009 6:17pm

I wonder who her two escorts will be?

derby7 · 19-08-2009 6:28pm

Jebus, the bouncers in Reardens wouldn't (couldn't) let her in loike........:pac:

/sorry Cork Rosie, I hope ye win !

staker · 19-08-2009 6:35pm

fair play to her,her escort won't know if it's a quilt-crease or her he's roidin:pac:

derby7 · 19-08-2009 6:55pm

.......but she would win the 'lovely girl' competition on Craggy Island ! :pac::D

19-08-2009 7:14pm

wtf, she looks like someone's mother in a godawful hat wandered into the photo
and suspiciously orange

"curvy" ffs, thats not curvy

edit:

I am educated, I can interact with people

It is. Her curves are just more abundant, larger and softer than others.

Dudess · 19-08-2009 7:23pm

My friend is overweight and goes mental when people tell her she's "curvy" and "womanly" - it's seriously condescending.

She's eaten the Roses' Boxes??!!

I know they're letting unmarried mothers in now but this seems a step too far.

patmac · 19-08-2009 7:36pm

Bet she wins, sympathy vote whatever, she is 12/1 with Paddy Power I've punted. Still won't watch the dross mind seems like shameless publicity to me.

irish_bob · 20-08-2009 11:33am
