    Hi all.
    Was waiting for friends at the BOI atm just off shop street this afternoon (half 3 ish). Friends came back from machine saying they just seen a 50ish, grey haired well dressed man that was def a famous celeb. But they couldn't identify him. My head is wrecked trying to work it out. Any thoughts or ideas welcome. Sorry for the vague details...

    That's what a good stalker would do...

    Instead they came back and asked me. I was looking everywhere but the atm.

    Brendan Gleeson was another thought but no joy...

    That was me. My son and I were the only well-dressed guys in Shop Street yesterday and if the light was not right you they may have imagined that there were grey hairs. Had to get the suit and shirt out for the young fella’s graduation and was trying to melt into the background afterwards but it wasn’t easy.

    The thing about Galway is that there are always celebrities dropping in on flying visits, seems to attract them somehow.

    Maybe it was just a grey haired man with the aura of a star. I get similar remarks sometimes.

    I hear that he is a scumbag and his 'celebrity' status is a damning indictment of society.

    A well dressed male in Shop Street would certainly be conspicuous. Grunge is still considered to be the height of cool in Galway.

    She finally worked it out. Once alcohol leaves the system, anything is possible... Def would never have guessed it myself.

    I would not have known the name but def knew the face. He's obviously not A-list but has a few well known films.
