Has a show on Tg4 right now, and I'm sure once Stetson s and Stilettos starts again, he'll be back like a bad smell.

Jonathon Ross was on The Chase and was absolutely brilliant. Was very good himself, was the best on a very good team and won over 100k for their charities. Bradley Walsh reckoned they were one of the best teams ever on the show.
Very wide range of knowledge. Sorry, if off topic.

His brother Paul was I thought the brain in The Chase.

On the Pat Kenny post,his knowledge on any amount of complicated subjects are nothing but impressive.
You would often hear his radio interviewees go "wow" when he had framed a question to them on how impressed they were of how on top of his brief that he is and how he is able to break it down for the listener.

kept to what he was best at and he could of walked into any news agency in the world .

I apologise in advance, it's a Barry Egan piece-so you know it's about as introspective and a genuinely well written article as that time I wrote poetry in primary school

Sir, you have no shame, that is three minutes I will never get of my life back again. On the other hand, it is the most self indulgent Siht I have ever heard read. If only I had it in the spring I could have put it on the roses in the garden. Now I know why therapists get €80 an hour to listen to that drivel.

It only pales in comparison to the interview he cashed in on when Katie French died. Still as coked up as a pepsi on RTE he gives out how it was the governments fault for not providing services for addict. It was pure car crash TV.

IF I could bring this plonker to the Ploughing Championships I could get a blue medal for him. Best in class before Neil Prendeville

I warned you-I literally gave y'all a warning it was a Barry Egan piece...

I can't do anything more to stop you reading a self-indulgent Egan piece outside of go into your house/ apartment, and slap the device of your choosing out of your hands.

Oh Murphy pulls so much crap, you can see there is zero growth with that guy. He still wants to be an 'IT boy'... an empty, vacuous, literally scrounging money from friends existence.

To be honest I would say if you knew him growing up you would be kind of ashamed to admit to knowing him now. He must had one indulgent mother that never slapped his arse and told him to grow for himself.

Don't hear much og Big Tom. Country and Western si her from up North. Was always on some TV show. Thelma Mansfield is another you don't hear much of or Sonny Knowles. They used to host an afternoon show in the 90s.

Oh totally. Also, note how he 'lost contact' with certain folks....at least according to that article.

Who wants to bet they were like 'ah, no sorry Gavin...I'm washing my hedging that night... and for the rest of the year'
'But hedging doesn't need washing'
'... oops, my Cat's barking, gotta go'.

I guarantee he was just as big a plonker when others knew him, so they cut off contact with his sorry butt.

You have to love the bit when he compares himself to Truman Capote!!
If the article is to be believed, image that plonker think Bertie was the doorman!!
Bertie was probably thinking, "Fecking Germans left me to run this lot of sheep and this plonker thinks I am the doorman. I am glad Gerhard Schroder is getting me a handy number in Brussels at the Duck Hygiene regulatory authority after this bleedin' gig, I tell ya!"
Serious you wouldnt want your pension linked to that plonkers productivity index.

I think that bit shows how vapid Gavin was and is. He's still obsessed with himself.

Wasn't he mostly unemployed or something? I think he was dating someone at the time (an annoying skanger-Dublin accented harpy, I cannot remember her name. Wasn't KAty French, I know that for sure. He was still in denial about being gay, or trying to 'cure' himself. The cocaine probably helped him out there). He pretended to come from wealth, and have a 'trust fund' or something dodgy like that. Really he was literally scraping coins together, until he nabbed a 'diary' column at one point. Which was just useless pagefiller-I'm blessed I never read that crap.

(The 'Lambe' part of his name was added out of nowhere-he added it to sound fancy. Sort of like Jonathan Rhys Meyers did).
Then his appearance on that 'Young and Loaded' show meant he was fired (as did some incidents he mentioned in that Egan atrocity).

Oh God-you couldn't rely on anyone from GLM's era, frankly. They were all obsessed with themselves. Until Katy French and Gerry Ryan's deaths, as well as the recession, put the skids on that 'lifestyle'.

Thelma is up on Merrion Square every weekend selling art. Very good painter.

He's a hack. Plain and simple. He's the written journalistic equivalent of that sh**ty TV interview with that Irish drug mule.

Won't google her name-not worth knowing her.

Hell yea. I’ll bet Derek, god rest him, thought about r***** her all the time on Live At 3, the dirty fecker

Thelma does a radio ad for nursing homes or meals on wheels or something. It always starts with ; "Hi I'm Thelma Mansfield.".

Thelma was married to Mouse Morris, horse trainer, son of Lord Killanin.

Not quite correct. It was his twin brother John actually.

She wouldn't be able to see her paintings never mind paint them if it was Mouse with all that cigarette smoke.

Lives in the UK, was a local radio presenter until relatively recently. He's in his 70s so I assume he's retired now

He’s been doing some Rat Pack tribute cabaret gig for years, saw a poster for it somewhere very recently. I think (though I may be incorrect on this) he also does some sort of hynotherapy-based give up smoking gig too, and may even be a qualified psychotherapist or psychiatrist too. I retain too much useless information....
