    Following on from the 'Someone you inexplicably can't stand' thread, have we ever had a 'Someone you think is really sound' thread?

    I'll start with John Creedon. Just seems such a nice guy, a real gentleman.

    When he's not drunk vandalising cars... And that followed a complete meltdown on stage in the INEC when he couldn't deal with hecklers, got mad, stormed off stage etc.

    After watching documentary on him last night, definitely Usain Bolt is sound out, for all the success he still seems so down to earth

    Ok, here's my REAL guy....

    Michael Portillo, pastel jackets and all. Love to have a couple of pints with him in some iconic Railway Hotel in England. He could read excerpts from his Bradshaw's.

    Now, if anyone knows for certain that he's a snobby sh!te, don't ruin it for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,097 ✭✭✭xalot


    Bill Murray, I'd say he'd be some craic.
    Jessica Chastain comes across as a very grounded and humble lady.

    He's a regular on Andrew Neil's This Week on BBC Thursday nights. Not a snob but a true Tory.

    Harrison Ford, just wouldn't wanna be on the plane he flies.

    Also Kurt Russell, would love to hang out with him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,423 ✭✭✭✭Outlaw Pete


    Was at a couple of Q&As that Michael Fassbender has done for films and he seemed sound.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,965 ✭✭✭6541


    I think I am sound !

    Jason Newsted of Metallica fame seems like a decent bloke, seems very humble and sound in interviews, never let the fame go to his head.

    Dave Grohl seems like a sound guy too.

    Aha, sound guy so!!

    ... sits back in anticipation of a small amount of flak

    Actually, saw him interviewed once on a programme about Education. He's a Grammar School boy. Didn't do him any harm.

    No, he's not a bad sort. Don't care much for his politics though.

    No sound women mentioned yet, was there?
    Grace Dent seems like good craic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 266 ✭✭nearzero


    Anna Richardson - always seems genuinely sound & good craic!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,809 ✭✭✭Hector Savage


    Dara O Bhrian, he always strikes me as the type of guy that would have been the best craic in college with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,140 ✭✭✭James Bond Junior


    Waiting for srameen to say Richard Attenborough...

    I met the cast of today fm breakfast show a few years ago. Mairead Farrell is absolutely lovely. A total lady but not up herself at all. Ian Dempsey was pretty sound too but a bit quiet and reserved. I've met Mario Rosenstock a few times and he is dead sound too. And the lovely Paula Mcsweeney is a lovely girl too. There was a great chemistry between them all including the guys behind the scenes, I'd say they are all genuine friends as well as colleagues.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,969 ✭✭✭buck65


    Sarah McInerney off Newstalk, ~I like her - good craic, nice voice and smart.

    Boxer Andy Lee seems a gentleman as does Billy Walsh the US boxing coach.

    Author Richard Ford is charming, Lisa McInerney also in keeping with my McInerney women folk being sound.

    Bernard Clark off the Nova programme on Lyric FM seems a good guy.

    Brian Cox seems like a good guy too, your wan the comediene Amy Schumer i like too.

    So there

    Roy Keane. He's a cranky bastard but I've a soft spot for him and I'd say he's sound underneath it all.
