To apologise re Westlife now they are re-forming

Hearing the news of the Westlife reunion.

I wish to apologise for having called them Pondlife in the past. The biodiversity, animals, fish and plants that inhabit ponds contribute much to our eco-system, and I insulted these creatures and demeaned the value of the plants by comparing them to the second worst export from Ireland ever.

😂😂😂 Sorry, no other comment but that really made me laugh!

Without Brian though. He's doing Dancing on Ice. Grin

I assume they are a bit hard up.

YANBU. Apology accepted. What was the first worst expert? Boyzone?

Ixnayonthehombre · 04/10/2018 19:27

YANBU

Daniel O'Donnell?

My money’s on Johnny Logan.

ButchyRestingFace · 04/10/2018 19:30

Jedward?

Brian McFadden? 🤢

Ronan Keating?

SmilingButClueless · 04/10/2018 19:30

Worst has got to be Jedward, surely?

Thebeautifullisette · 04/10/2018 19:31

No no I’ve got it now!

Jedward.

A fiver on B'witched

Worst export - Mrs Brown and her Boys.

Amanduh · 04/10/2018 19:32

Well, I’m excited about their reunion 😂😂😂 they were my early teenage boyband of choice after the Boyzone days. There will be so many previous fans my age rejoicing.. love a bit of nostalgia! My teens wpuldn’t have been the same without Flying Without Wings.

I do think people jest and don’t realise just how brilliantly successful they were though, they’ve sold 55 million records and had 14 number ones... they were massive.

I loved them but been put off after meeting them and Shane wasn’t very nice on both occasions. Nicky and Kian were lovely.

Sparklingbrook · 04/10/2018 19:36

I believe at least one of them is bankrupt.

PiperPublickOccurrences · 04/10/2018 19:37

I sat the row behind Jedward on a plane once and they were so polite and so lovely and charmed the pants off everyone. Very nice lads.

JaneJeffer · 04/10/2018 19:46

At least they can sing. Unlike Boyzone.

Worst Irish export has to be Mrs. Brown.

Spartacunt · 04/10/2018 19:48

Or Michael Flatley.

JaneJeffer · 04/10/2018 19:49

He's a Yank!

Spartacunt · 04/10/2018 19:51

That's true but he is responsible for the execrable Riverdance.

Sparklingbrook · 04/10/2018 19:52

Louis Walsh is fairly awful.

scooterhat · 04/10/2018 19:52

@PiperPublickOccurrences John and Edward are extremely nice lads I've met them countless times , lovely lovely boys, they treat their young fans very well Smile

MidnightAura · 04/10/2018 19:52

Shane was bankrupt, his wife has been declared bankrupt a few months ago due apparently to debts she shared with Shane.

That’s probably a huge factor in this.

MrsChollySawcutt · 04/10/2018 19:52

How depressing. They were bad enough the first time around. I can assume they are doing a 'only here for cash' tour as at least two of them have blown all their money on failed property deals.
