Who is Twink?

[CraicMammy]

What’s the craic?

She keeps popping up this week on my social medias, what do I need to know?

What?? How do you not know Twink? Great piece in today's Irish Times about her.

In a lot of ways, RTÉ's Twink tribute depicts her as a whistleblower (via @IrishTimes) www.irishtimes.com/culture/in-a-lot-of-ways-rt%C3%A9-s-twink-tribute-depicts-her-as-a-whistleblower-1.3953673

wot da fuq!

How can you be Irish and not know who Twink is?!

Next you'll be saying you've never heard of Gay Byrne and Bosco.

Zip up your mickey!!!! She's as common as muck and full of her own importance. Her one time friend Rory Cowan had to tell her to leave his mother's funeral.

She's a wagon. 'Barbies Granny' Samantha Mumba called her.

I was born in England, family is Irish, DH norn irish. There’s just a few gaps in my cultural knowledge 😜💚

Gay Byrne 👍 Bosco erm no... I clearly need to invest in the RTÉ TV app 😳

She’s exactly what honeyrider said upthread. I used to work in a tennis club and she would wreck our heads trying to flout the dress rules.
I saw her a few weeks ago in a euro shop with a cockatoo on her shoulder tying to be the centre of attention

Twink used to be very famous. When I was a child, (early 80s) she was on TV a lot. She Started out in a girl band called Maxi, Dick and Twink.
She's a talented singer and actress. I saw her play Nancy in Oliver years ago and she was very good. She's also very funny.

Now she's known as a bit of a nutcase. She had a bitter and very public divorce a few years ago and she's been broke a few times too.

I actually have a good twink story because she lives down the road from my parents. My parents NDN picked some flowers out of Twink's garden, (the NDN was a nutcase too but that's a whole other story). Twink turned up at the NDN house a few hours later and threw a vase of water over over . "Here's some water for my flowers" she said.

Twink is very talented, which is good because she loves an audience.

Somewhere Twink’s head is exploding because this question is even being asked

Never Google Maxi Dick and Twink.

Maybe a comma would have helped...

She is indeed.
She'd ate ya, I'd say.
Without salt.

I’ve just realised that the OP doesn’t know who Bosco is which is a far greater crime in my humble opinion

Someone explain Bosco to the OP. And Marian’s dungarees and the Magic Door.

"Never Google Maxi Dick and Twink.

Apparently Marian retired last year! How is that possible?

Never Google Maxi Dick and Twink.

Playback Marian was Bosco Marian??

Do you have an irish passport? Not sure you're allowed one without knowing who Twink is!!!

Bit of advice OP, I'd get your Bosco comment deleted. You might be deported if the authorities see it!!

I wasnt allowed watch Bosco cos we lived near the lamberts and my mam has some unexplained animosity towards them, I'd have to watch the big red door in secret in my best friends house. Later on I watched heartbreak high there but I understand why she didn't want me watching that.

Twink! Now there's a throwback to my childhood .
Didn't Bosco come after Wanderley Wagon? (singing the theme tune in my head....)

There was a situation a few years ago where Twinks dog went missing or something... never google Twinks dog!
