From being really cool to being a pompous pain in the ass

Francis Brennan.....mildly funny when he first hit the screens in At Your Service. Now? Hes bloody everywhere, Late Late Show, Ray D'Arcy, radio, newspapers, selling books and kitchenware. You are not funny anymore Francis. You have had your moment, time to move on.

Fintan O'Toole. The question being was he ever cool. (He was in Hot Press once)

I'd be surprised if Eamonn Dunphy's first words as a baby didn't annoy the ****e out of his mother.

There is no planet that exists in the universe on which Francis Brennan could be considered cool. He might have many qualities but cool was never one of them.

Liam Gallagher

I dunno here. Musically not what he was compared to his Oasis peak, but I enjoy him in interviews and his twitter is good fun. In an era of such bland entertainers devoid of anything interesting to say, it's reassuring that you have someone like Liam who clearly doesn't give a **** anymore.

On Billy Connolly - here's 3 off the top of my head: 1. speaks with so much gravity as if everything coming out of his mouth should be carved in stone by someone. 2. he was funny 30 years ago. Somewhere along the way he got mixed up between comedy and pontificating. 3. what absolutely finished any bit of respect I might have had for him was when I heard about the way he verbally abused a female photographer from the stage in Killarney a few years ago. she was doing her job - with all permissions etc and I understand that he really gave her an awful time. No comedy or humour - just horrible behaviour. It takes a grade A t**t to be so disrespectful of another person as they go about their job.

He did suffer all kinds of abuse, including sexual, during his childhood so perhaps the nastier elements of his persona stem from that.
