[quote=“Locke”]My last one. Especially for my southeastern neighbours
Who: Wexford Hurling Panel
Famous for: Hurling
When: 2nd/3rd Jan 2006
Where: Bangkok international airport, Thailand
Wearing: All were in tee shirts and jeans accept Damien Fitzhenry who looked like he was dressed by his missus. Check shirt with slacks. Boys were on their trip away and were going to Pattaya from what was being said. The boys were up for it and all that ensues with a 10 trip to Thailand with the men they sweated and showered with throughout the previous year. Fitzy is a man of good values though, I’d say he was having none of it. Also, they played a hell of a lot of cards. I think it was a version of switch but can’t be sure.[/quote]

Who: Daniel Day Lewis & Ken Doherty
Famous for: Actor, Snooker player
When: easter 2006
Where: Dublin airport
Waiting for my missus to come back from jacks. Ken, leather jacket, nice shoes, rubbish hair. Walks past. I say hello to him. He stops up and have a quick chat. Tell him how much I watched him every year in the world championships in college. Think it was always just after rag week or that. He was playing pretty decent at the time and reckoned he would give the WC a good shot that year. An absolute gent.
Next thing Ken calls out at a tall fella walking by with a strange cap on his head and dressed like a hippy. Fella walks over towards us. Daniel Day Lewis. Could not fucking believe it. Dived into my bird’s bag looking for a camera. No sign. Lads wait on for another couple of mins. Chatting away with one another. Still no sign of bird. Anyway eventually they had to head off to catch their flights. DDL - New York, Ken - London. Missus eventually comes back just as the two boys disappear out of sight. Camera in the bag she was carrying. Women !!!
Saw that gimp Bernard Dunne with a rake of his mates at Harold Cross dog track before. He was been the fucking idiot he is giving it loads to one of the bookies at the track. This was a few years ago too just before he 60 secs of infamy. Tiny fucker too.
Would know an prominent Irish international footballer fairly well. Certainly in my younger days.
Cheers Shan but it was forwarded to me, all I did was post it up.
One of my favourite celeb spots was drinking champagne with David Fairclough and Alan Kennedy in the Paddy Power corporate box at cheltenham last year. Brilliant day.

Even I know who they are. David Fairclough a regular on Today Fm I think whenever Liverpool are playing. Alan Kennedy scored the deciding peno against Roma in 84.
Fairclough told us some fair funny stories about those days at Liverpool, all the drinking and shit they used to be up to. Classic stuff, including a very funny story about an ex-irish international (who may or may not have scored a great goak against Russia) that I won’t go into on here.
[quote=“north county corncrake”]blocked that game out of my mind
is fairclough michael mcmullans sidekick?[/quote]
He would do the phone in after 5 with the pundit of that days game so he would be I guess. Sorry for bringing up that game Ncc. Must have been heartbreaking at the time.
Poor show Runt. Reminiscent of Puke’s refusal to debate Fianna Fil on here. Why dangle the full loaf of bread before our longing eyes only to offer us a crumb? Shocking.
