Everyone is Aslan is a douchebag as well.

You man needs to wear shoes on stage, who does he think he is? Rollins?

Prick needs to be wearing shoes outside too.



Thousand yard stare is right...

lol found a positive review of his album on www.youghalonline.com:

The debut single from the album “Stand Clear” was released on October 23. It’s a tribute to the legendary Bus Eireann announcement when the automatic doors open – “Stand Clear, luggage doors are operating”. Funny and catchy, “Stand Clear” has all the makings of a classic. Already it has received critical acclaim from the music industry and you will be hearing it on your radio. Grayson has been seen chasing buses all over the place making a video for the song.

looks like he supported aslan aswell.

Can You say "In my opinion he might be a Pedophile" is that slander? and if you phrase it as a question does it avoid the issue like

"Where is Grayson is a dickhead situated?"

Just wondering.

 

[Cormcolash]

he is apparently "seeking advise" - this is becoming a barrel of laughs...

leigh

I'd advise him to fuck off

 

[Cormcolash]

P.S Give him a Boot

well unless he's cleared the sample credits with bus eireann maybe there will be a suit against him!!

Defences of Defamation:
The main defences to defamation are Justification (truth), Privilege, Fair Comment and Apology.

Justification – has already been mentioned as an absolute defence, but where it fails exemplary damages may be awarded.

Privilege – is absolute or qualified: absolute privilege is limited by policy to statements in the Oireachtas and the Courts and other special cases. Qualified privilege is the defence normally applicable to architects or other professional persons who are required to make potentially defamatory statements where there is a moral, professional or social justification for doing so: however the statement must go beyond what was reasonably
necessary to discharge that obligation.

Fair Comment – is where the statement is made on a matter of public interest and the defamation was an incidental attribute of the expression of an opinion on that matter which was fair in that it was honest. In this the law recognises the necessity to free criticism in matters of art and public affairs.

Apology – is not strictly a defence by virtue of Section 17 of the Act an apology before action, or as soon as possible, is allowed in mitigation of damages.

That'll be €500 please!

maybe he means song-writing mentoring

maybe he meant it in a karate kid kind of way

I'd just harass him back. Starting sending him really really long letters describing in every detail the mundane activities of your day.

 

[lympog]

that would be one very, very long letter....

 

[Livewire]

that would be one very, very long letter....

next just send him photos of naked homeless people... the kind that you don't want to look at but can't stop looking at.

maybe it could influence the lyrics, although i shudder to think what might be borne of it

[nooleen]

something shite, probably

 

[Cormcolash]

He'd probably do a home-made video where he's in the shower crooning "WHY MUST I CRYYYYY"
