Irelands Greatest Ever person (1 Viewer)

[rettucs]

they did Micheal Collins last week. They got Micheal McDowell to present it, which gave him an opportunity to make his grandfather (Eoin MacNeill) not sound like the traitor many think him to be.

But it gets better. Next week they're doing Bono. Can't wait.

Bono for Ireland's Greatest Ever Person ever.

My 6:
Bono
Westlife

I'd be a sucker for this kind of thing, sometimes. Thing is, it's a shit list. Very much a You're a Star list.
Where's the Duke of Wellington? Or all those writahs we're so proud of? Or anyone who didn't make their name in the 20th century?
I want a serious, academic list of the greatest Irish people sponsored by Eircom.

What are you going to? I'm too overwhelmed by the whole thing, gonna stay at home and wait for Heritage Week.

I'm following a friend, she seems to know what's going on. I haven't the faintest, i'll probably end up on the frontpage of the Irish Times tomorrow playing congas and looking bewildered

Ireland can boast the following:

- Che Guavara
- Jack Charlton
- The man who invented New Zealand (his name is on the side of Holles St hospital)
- Colin Farrell
- JEDward
- Obama


the only person who didn't qualify for this list was Tony Cascarino.

and yet we nominate Bono.

They should just rename the show Vibe for Philo and play the video to Old Town for a few hours.

If we're claiming Che Guevara, we surely get Gary Busey as well.

Zipping up mickeys?
