I'm sure you've probably been invited yourself once or twice Scooter?

My favourite but not sure what others think Brendan Grace

He whipped all my uncles best jokes and forgot where he came from. Nough said.

Touched a nerve there? Got a little crush on her there?
I myself am not a musician.
Thinking you can score woke points for calling Irish people racists is a bit much

Just saw this thread but I can't stand Michael McWhateverthef*ck. Saw him on the Late Late once and he came across as a sanctimonious prick going on about how he never tasted alcohol etc. Has a priestly vibe about him. Also his voice/accent would make my blood curdle.
I really really loved Dave Allen.

I spoke negatively about Imelda in this thread and I’m not a fan, but now you’ve forced me defend her she certainly is not a talentless bint

I absolutely love Eamon Dunphy and always have. His Podcast is very good, apart from the football ones. I think National Treasure John Giles needs to retire from media, sad as it is to say.
Billo seemed like a lovely man too, football on Irish TV will never be the same without him, he just made me feel safe and at home.

This might be a surprise to you, but it is possible to like or respect people without having a crush on them.

I've no idea what woke points are, tbh. But I don't think they have anything to do with her musical talent. If you don't like her politics or her public position, then so be it. But again, that's got nothing to do with her talent.

Woke points are what lad say that think will get them points. eg
"We need to eliminate male toxicity"
"Arent all african American due reparations?"
"I am vegan"
"We need to ban all guns"
"Trump is a Billox and Sanders was robbed"

Does saying that actually work?

What talent? The list of modern Rockabilly artists with talent is not a long one and Imelda aint on it.

Are there any Irish people who are loved by everybody, or practically everybody anyway?
The only 1 I can think of to even come close to it is Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh.
Any others?

Certainly not MO'M, I'm not alone in not being able to stand the maudlin auld lad reminiscing about the GAA.

Paul McGrath
Colm Meaney
Brendan Gleason
Phil Lynnott would be my picks.

Yes it does, as long as you are over 6 foot, look attractive, have a good job and have a reputation for being a stallion in the sack. In fact if you have these traits you can pretty much say whatever you like.

Phil Lynott would be my choice, love everything about him, could listen to him all day and he seemed so genuine also.
Dolores o Riordan would definitely be up there, huge talent and again seemed very ordinary and down to earth.
I have to say I love Roy Keane, lots won't agree but he sticks to his principles and isnt a crowd pleaser and I admire that in a person.

She moved on from rockabilily quite a few years back. You really should keep up if you're going to position yourself as the expert judge.

I'm still confused on a few details.

1) 'get them points' - points from who and for what? What are these points?
2) Did Imelda say any of these things
3) What has her political position got to do with her musical talent?

Not me. I went on a school tour to the Lambert Puppet Threatre, he was a contrary prick.

Saint Patrick. Imagine having to live with snakes every day. It's bad enough having to dodge traffic and pedestrians and cyclists and whatever when you're walking about doing your day to day stuff, that's a pain. But add snakes into the mix? I'm staying home.

Me.

I double checked with my mammy and she confirmed it.

Not loved by interests who wanted all that to stay buried.

Do we have a winner? Perhaps Omackeral should do a tournament in this topic.

No.

Choosing and being sent are different things.

Although the non obligatory nature of direct provision muddies the waters.

It was done before and the winner was Samantha Mumba. See post #407.

That was a joke btw.

But invariably the results of those forum games competitions are mindboggling. Expect the unexpected to say the least, I have seen them vote that Chris O'Dowd was a better actor than Gene Hackman..... you had to be there.
