    A Roman Catholic priest please.

    A wedding chauffeur.
    Someone with juicy stories about advice from father of the bride or last ditch attempts to dissuade.
    Then interesting conversations between the bride and groom after the ceremony.
    Do they bitch about any guests outfits?
    Get up to any naughty antics?

    To thine own self be true

    Or Irexit-Freedom to Prosper, Anti-Corruption Ireland, Aontú, National Party either too.

    None of above; incl. United Ireland're registered; would love to know why/not from them, their leaders etc.

    Would also love to here from people running from them (though not necessarily their leaders, perhaps first time candidates and their motivations, the barriers they face in terms of funding which, even though I disagree with them in terms of beliefs or actions they take, I think the field should be a lot fairer in terms of funding; it's why we will constantly have a FF-FG merry dance with a few turns on dance floor with some others on occasion).

    Also Identity Ireland; our only Far Right Political Party, registered anyway unlike the others mentioned.

    Would like to know do they feel their thunder has been stolen somewhat by the emergence of those I've mentioned.

    John Delaney?

    United Ireland are registered.

    Good question about the other ones though.

    An AMA with a rat/mouse/vermin catcher. It's a big business now and we're all familiar with at least one company's name. I was talking with one recently and the stories he was telling me about the hygiene conditions in pubs, hotels, restaurants that he is called out to inspect (often after somebody threatens the owner with being reported).

    And not just places in poor areas. Some really well known,"respectable" businesses and the landlords of their premises totally neglecting basic hygiene because it would cost too much to fix problems with particular buildings.

    You're giving me the willies there Fuaranach, I saw a rat on a busy Dublin street in the middle of the day for I think the first time ever last week. Yuck.

    Pest control is now added to my ever-growing list!

    A Judge, would be nice to pick their brain about how/why they award people 500, 000 euro settlements for their own stupidity

    A retired judge or criminal law barrister would be good.

    Also lots of Irish are working in Brussels/Strasbourg as political lobbyists, could be interesting too.

    On ex-Defence Forces- perhaps Tom Clonan who writes about national security for the IT, Journal, etc. might consider it.

    We've nothing like that planned at the moment, no. I don't think there would be much interest in to be honest!

    Ok, I see... twas fun to have my question answered on the vid anyway :D glad it was fun for you and Dav at the time (from what was said in the last post on that thread)... Just thought it would be cool to do a "meet the new community manager" since y'all have been proactive with monthly announcements etal, but I get it... it's a new day so. :) Thanks for the reply Niamh. Cheers.

    You think I asked about the two in post for nothing?

    Nah i would genuinely be interested in something like a 'catch me if you can character' or 'The Sting' being interviewed. :)


  • Posts: 8,856 ✭✭✭[Deleted User]


    A few quick AMA's- just a few days about actually "normal, everyday" people- I think there would be great interest in these type of threads....

    Someone who drives a taxi (think this was done already)

    Someone who's a voluntary Rock concert steward

    Someone who plays in an orchestra

    Someone who fixes washing machines


    ^^^ there's a few to get going- won't last more than a few pages but it would be interesting nevertheless.

    the "ordinary" can sometimes be more interesting than the "extraordinary".

    Director or producer who made an Irish feature film that never got released.

    Someone in the either territorial or foreign army?

    Someone who works in airport? At any level, ground staff, pilot, security, quarantine,
    Behind the scene jobs we wouldn't even think of.

    Someone who works in radio?

    Someone who works in accommodation?

    Someone who works on an oil rig?

    Someone who's been to Antarctica or a mountaineer?

    I don't think anyone in the army (Irish army anyway are permitted to do something like this.

    As mentioned, we've done this one recently: Now ye're talking - to an off-shore oil rig worker
