Hmmmm. While Twitter's alive with Gerry Ryan comments, Irish celebrity twitter users fall quiet. Hmmm

The Ryan Line is snorted, I mean open, I mean closed.

Both are taboo in society. You don't see many politicians admitting to either of these things.

Eh what year are you living in ?Since when is homosexuality taboo in society ?

Those church buildings cast awfully long shadows.

Also how often have you have seen men holding hands while walking down a street in an Irish town?
I don't know how you could argue that it's not taboo in this country.

A policeman who studied psychology? Holy shit, are you Cracker? :eek:

No it just means I can look at it in a slightly more intelligent way, and don't feel the need to make unfunny jokes.

Self praise, no praise.

What I find stranger is that he seems to be suggesting it is neither nor was it ever a taboo

Yea, i was suprised he died from cocaine.



But with the family troubles and financial ones he had, its perhaps not so suprising.

I liked Gerry on the radio - he did a little to much of the lecturing the masses sometimes but he will be missed.

He will be missed in the next few weeks when at christmas every year he would get in a cooking expert to talk about cooking a turkey and go through it.

What would happen without fail is that gerry would spend 99 percent of the time telling the expert how he cooks his!

Always number 1

Not wanting to sound mean, but why does his death require an inquest that probably costs the state quite a bit of money again?

He is dead, and if they are sure that he was not killed, then that's it. If I would die under the same circumstances, then there wouldn't be an inquest either.

Complete waste of taxpayers money IMO.

There are inquests into deaths every day, the length and breadth of the country when someone dies suddenly and usually when the guards are involved. It's just because its someone famous that we're hearing about it.

You're right, I think Jackie Healy-Rae is the only one.

gerry the coke fiend?! when already under stress, surprising he didn't opt to fight fire with water instead n just smoke some herb. but it seems gerry fuelled that fire.. i trust it was 'misadventure' then a once-off foray into a seedy world cos if gerry's appetite for coke rivalled his appetite for food then it woulda been like, nomomnomnomnom. coke is horrendous stuff and sadly a social norm, atypically amongst the 'elite' i'll put down his obnoxious personality traits to maybe having been under the influence

He's not gay! He only ever shags female farm animals.

Taking a stance against something you do in secret, is usually a type of self-loathing projection. He's really talking to himself. It may appear as hypocrisy but it's not as simplistic as that. I studied psychology, so I should know.

This is known as an 'appeal to authority.'

Watching Dr. Phil is not studying psychology. What you've come out with there is the worst of pop psychology tripe and nonsense. Ryan spouted a right wing anti drug agenda because it kept him at the top of the radio earnings because more sheep tuned in to hjs rantings than anywhere else. Giveme a break he did coke because he was gauche and nouveau as were his friends. Doing coke was the most gauche nouveau thing a person could do.

it'snice to hear the bedgrudgers and whingers and cheap talk artists are still alive and well, agreed he was overpaid and overhyped but that's not his fault, Gerry was v good at what he did and was lucky to do it, he knew that too as for the coke thing, the whole bloody country was/is doing coke so lets keep it realistic, no need to put the guy down< he's unable to defend himself and he would rip most of ye to shreds

I didnt mind Gerry Ryan at all.
I understand some folk found him irritating etc, but personally I really enjoyed listening to his shows, and I really felt like I had 'company' for 3 hours a day when he was on air whilst I was on the road with work.

I couldnt give 2 hoots as to what they found in his system, cocaine or otherwise! At the end of the day, there are a few children who will be without a father at Christmas this year!


May he R.I.P

i agree he was a legend ,one thing just came to mind will they try find his supplier like they did with that model girl Kathy
