    I never knew his parents.

    I wasn't there when he was born either.

    I was simply pointing out what he said on the radio as somebody above had suggested he was from Shannon.

    They said he lives in Shannon.

    Im from Shannon, lived there for 24 years. I now live in Corbally but im not going to claim im from here all of a sudden.

    There is absolutely no suggestion that Berty knows Melion's Parents or that he cried for 20 minutes after cutting her Umbilical Cord when he was present at her birth.....

    Fantastic summary of that column, its in the independent. I read it once and was left thinking exactly as you have put it, it is basically an advertising column.

    Yeah its a funny territory aimed at separating Idiots from their disposable income.

    - What I find much worse is when Business Owners pay an actual 'Journalist' (I know, am using the term loosely) to write about how they experienced fantastic value/service/products etc. etc. in whatever Restaurant or Shop - Strangely in the Limerick Papers they often forget to add the tiny, played down "Advertising Feature" caption that is supposed to be clearly visible to the reader.

    Original Sponsor didnt book his flights, left him high and dry, so old quarter stepped in and paid for his flights.

    I too was gutted when my sponsor didn't book my flights, leaving me high and dry, I kept waiting for another sponsor to step in as I patiently oiled my Abs and flexed my huge coconut Biceps :(

    Congrats to Kemal! I have to say, I've had the pleasure of working with him before, and he's a really nice guy, so down to earth and sound out :)

    Shame on the sponsor that let him down, I'm sure they're kicking themselves now..

    Let's hope he makes the most of his position and gets some great oppertunities from it ;)

    Yep that Jimmy. Little man who was as broad as he was tall. :D

    But when you consider that guys the size of Lou Ferringo or a young Arnold Schwarzenegger competed in the Mr Olympia/Mr Universe contests, then it is not really a surprise that Jimmy did not get far.

    They're all nearly a foot taller than Jimmy, so would be in a different weight division anyway ;)

    He ranked 11th in the world in his division at one point, so not so bad from a Limerick man :)

    His highest ranking was a good achievement full stop.

    Am chuckling away now at the thought of the size difference between Jimmy and a peak Lou Ferrigno. :D


    Paint Jimmy green so that they could be Hulk and son. :)
