Anyone watching Bressie and Johnny Logan?

eggandonion · 18/09/2021 23:29

Isn't Johnny gorgeous, bressie should do eurovision.

JaneJeffer · 19/09/2021 10:31

Good idea egg. I was Hmm at Johnny when he said we used to have good music in Ireland like The Corrs!

SionnachRua · 19/09/2021 13:55

I always feel sorry for the Corrs girls, tied to that conspiracy theorist of a brother. He must be very hard to manage. Their family Whatsapp must be something else!

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 19/09/2021 14:47

Anytime I visit my Dublin relatives, I find people in shops very friendly to talk to.
I'm laughing at Joolsin striking up a conversation with Londoners Grin sure, why not? I like chatting to people when I'm out and about, in shops or waiting at the bus stop.

The Corrs' family whatsapp, oh dear God, I wouldn't like to imagine it! Those girls seem so nice and down-to-earth and he really is a fruitcake.

@IsFuzzyBeagMise I suspect we have had a long chat at some point. My husband spends a lot of time waiting for me to finish talking to people I don't know. Even longer if I am talking to someone I know slightly.
Sure it's nice.

It is nice. I had a funny interaction recently in town. I was having coffee with a couple of pals, a Spanish couple. There were two oul fellas at the next table having their coffee. The next thing, one of them leans over to us and asks my friend for her spoon. She looks at him aghast. 'I can't give it to you, I've licked it'. ' That don't matter', he said. 'Tony wouldn't like that now', I told him, ' but you can have mine, because I haven't licked it'. (I had an Americano not the foamy latte that she had). 'Yerra', said he, completely unconcerned, 'sure don't we all have to catch something and die sometime!' Made me laugh; pure Cork, like :)

Holy Mother of God @IsFuzzyBeagMise Tony surely wouldn't like us to be sharing pre licked spoons with strangers Grin

Tony would have a coronary at the thought of it LadyEloise1 Grin

No not Bressie for the Eurovision, he's a painful dose with an awful bang of insincerity off him.
JaneJeffer · 20/09/2021 01:22

I loved Bressie on The Voice with Kian Egan. They were so funny together.

Taytocrisps · 20/09/2021 12:19

That's such a funny story @IsFuzzyBeagMise. I'm picturing the look of horror on Tony's face if he witnessed that incident!

Thank you Tayto Grin

Thank god for real Irish phraseology. I properly laughed out loud Grin and I agree with you

SionnachRua · 21/09/2021 16:24

The "who's worse, Bressie or Blindboy" is a real divide in my house Grin Himself can't stand Bressie while Blindboy does my head in.

eggandonion · 21/09/2021 17:42

It's really a lot more autumnal here today, I have put on socks. Just over six months to st patrick's day, I hope the bigwigs can go to Washington next year! So I can complain about normal stuff.
My husband doesn't think Bressie could cope with Eurovision rejection.

Both tools.

I love how they tell you all the houses are still for sale at the end of Ireland's Most Exclusive Homes. Of course they fecking are!

CliffsofMohair · 23/09/2021 04:26

I’ve gone off watching the ‘lifestyles of the rich and famous’ type property shows after years of being ‘property porn’s’ number 1 fan. I think it peaked for me when Dermot Bannon was bouncing around the world salivating over rich people houses when families here couldn’t even afford houses to rent let alone buy. And RTE were paying for this. It was tone deaf to say the least. I’m loving Cheap Irish Houses these days!

LadyEloise1 · 23/09/2021 08:19

I'm enjoying both Cheap Irish Houses and Selling Ireland's Most Exclusive Homes.
From one extreme to another I know but .....

JaneJeffer · 23/09/2021 08:24

Glenasmole Lodge is gorgeous if anyone has 4.5 million yoyos going spare. It's in Dublin but then you can't have everything.

Carriemac · 23/09/2021 08:42

I was feeling a Pang of sympathy for the letter writer in the Irish times today who was complaint about having to live with his parents or move out to the country to afford to buy until I saw his Sandymount D4 address .
As you said - tone deaf

I'm a big fan of the crazyhouseprices Instagram myself. Love seeing him highlight the estate agents blatantly lying.

A girl in work has just bought an apartment she doesn't like at all. I know property ladder, yadda yadda but I think it's fucking mad myself. Don't tie yourself to something you can barely stand to look at.

JaneJeffer · 23/09/2021 11:20

Simon Harris' new baby is gorgeous. Aww.

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 23/09/2021 11:24

Yes, isn't he. That's lovely for them. Cillian, brother to Caoimhe.
Autocorrect changed Cillian into Lillian, William and Colin :)
