I grew up in the same small town as Sharon Horgan and knew her from afar as a teenager. She was terrifying - beautiful, outrageous and cuttingly sarcastic. She was a couple of years older than me and my friends and we'd nudge each other and hiss "There's Sharon!" as she tore up the dancefloor and caused mayhem with the boys. I forgot about her then about 20 years later "Pulling" came out and I wasn't at all surprised, she's so funny.
grocklebox I know what you mean - I'm not being snippy either when I say this but I find her foul-mouthed humour quite Irish; she reminds me of some of my friends!
