Thumped on Six To One news (2 Viewers)

i often see dobbers on his bike tearin through donnybrook on his way to montrose. he's a fine broadcaster it has to be said.

what was the name of the newsreader who retired about 15 years ago? don coburn or somethin?

Don Coburn - ah! that was a legend. Looked like a sewer zombie. He was a big chief in RTE and famously anchored a whole series of programmes during an RTE strike. He looked like a used J-Cloth.

And who was that bit-part newsreader who was a part-time funeral director?

Aengus MacGrianna is the most annoying man in the world.

And, of course, how can we forget Sports Stadium's stalwart Brendan O'Reilly? I saw an album of his in that Blackberry market in Rathmines. It was a recording of him singing songs about Michael Collins in Jury's.
Olympian hurdler with the voice of a butch angel - why don't RTE have these Renaissance men anymore?

Brian Dobson is great.

He looks like Zig.

fine mouth on him alright.

fine mouth on him alright.

It's the eyes too.

There's an inherent Ziggishness to them.

 

[ICUH8N]

I'd like to hear him reading excerpts from "The Fridge in a Denim Jacket"

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

what about everyone favourite GAA man, marty 'pumpaction' morrissey? one of the most unnattractive creatures ever to order a scampi and chips from the rte canteen.

hang on, what the fuck is he doin at westminster?!

It's the eyes too.

i wonder do his zoggabongs move back when he's angry like a ponys ears?

Speaking of people who look like furry yokes, I swear that Caroline Morahan is a fucking ringer for either Podge or Rodge. Check it out. I'm not alone in thinking it, lots of other people on my ward noticed the resemblance.

 

[Bellatrix]

Keep it down, Ted.

Anyone see his tour around GAA land last Christmas? And the now-legendary "punching-the-air-while-listening-to-Tom-Petty-while-driving-his-Volvo-down-some-backroad-in-Limerick" scene?

Marty Morrissey (or Mr. 2000) is living proof that anyone can be on television.

Yep seen her round the Mines alright, wouldnt be surpised if she wasnt taking a number 2 aswell. Dirty bitch.

she asked me did I want a golden shower when I was on a fag break.



Damn work. bah

I think she hangs around the mines cos it has its fair share of weirdos scampering about. Actually last time i was there I saw the Fr. Sean Fortune lookalike who talks to himself and wears his slippers, drenched in piss with a rather nutty looking dirty sanchez. Must have just come from her place?

Don Coburn - ah!

it's 'Don Cockburn'.

 

[Dr Winston Umbogo]

Ann Boyle and Marty Feelin.

 

[kevin gallen]

reminds me of a bee with his bulgy eyes

fair play though i like marty, salt of the earth an all that

 

[Margo]

it's 'Don Cockburn'.

He's a miserable bollix. Years ago, I worked in a shop and Cockman bought a box of matches and proceeded to count out the thrupence ha'penny from a little purse. Men with purses need to be beaten soundly about the head with a rusty exhaust pipe.

He then fucked off on his bike with this trews neatly tucked into his sensible argyle socks.

He's dead, inhe?

 

[Franco]

dead on the inside. And on the outside.

Yes, he's dead.

bit harsh calling him a cunt for paying in coppers for a box of matches. You know how shops need small change? maybe he was doing it out of civic pride?

Of course... he was known for cycling. Didn't really help much in the end. "You can't cycle out of your grave"

I remember seeing Arnold O'Byrne in Blackrock Clinic restaurant. "Tá me chraoi i me bhéal" I muttered.

Oh! And the "Coburn" mis-spelling was duly noted.

A friend of mine wrote and recorded, but never released, an entire concept album about Don Cockburn. It's pretty good actually.

If anyone likes Drag City artist Edith Frost, you can download a whole album of her demos here. Legal too!!!

It's very nice acoustic, ghostly countrified stuff and quite beautiful. Cover of a Lefty Frizzell song too.

 

[Brush]
