Settle
Who:Jim Power( Friends First Chief Economist)
Where: Croke Park
When: Today supporting Dublin hurlers
Why: Although being a waterford man and supporting their losers last year he is exiled long enough in Dublin to support them.
Wearing: Dublin GAA rain jacket and jeans
Other info: was with his wife and kids.
Also in attendance today was Cathal MaCoille presenter of Morning Ireland on Radio one who has been previously spotted in Phibsboro on his bicycle which is his prefered mode of transport.
Phibsborough is a fine part of the city, hardly surprising that people like to cycle through it and do minimum ecological damage
Speaking of Morning Ireland, whatever happened to David Hanly? Used to have a fine voice for radio, never hear him now though. He got sick at one stage and thatâs the last I heard of him.
He retired, as did the bloke that read âwhat it says on the papersâ.
The bloke that read âWhat it says in the papersâ used to do that from Donegal or somewhere I think. Cushy number. Just get up a bit early have a read of the papers, read them out a bit and then back to bed for a few hours.
Anyway spot of my own:
Who: World Champion athlete and RT pundit Eamonn Coughlan
Where: Some cafe type place in Cork off Oliver Plunkett Street, might be called Zakâs or something (food was mediocre)
When: Saturday at 13:13
Wearing: Green polo shirt t-shirt thing and some trousers that didnât catch my attention.
Notable: The following dialogue took place as Mr Coughlan left the premises
Rocko - Eh is that your phone
[Rocko points to phone-like device, possibly a PDA on a table that Coughlan had just vacated]
Coughlan - Do you know what? It is alright. I knew that was going to happen
Rocko - Huh
[Coughlan goes to retrieve phone. Then he returns to re-exit]
Coughlan - Thanks for that, I had a feeling Iâd forget it when I put it on the table
Rocko - No bother.
[Rocko debates adding Eamonn to the end of that sentence but pauses awkwardly instead while still staring at the man. In an effort to break the tension, Rocko places a hand on Coughlanâs shoulder and continues speaking]
Rocko - ⌠no bother at all.
[Coughlan leaves the scene]
Mrs Rocko - Was that John Treacy?

Iâd say 99% of people who wear those tacky banker pin-striped suits are tossers. (see Roddy Collins and even Louis Copeland himself)

[quote=âfarmerinthecityâ]Who: Katherine Lynch
Famous For: Not being funny
When: Saturday, 4 July, 8.45pm.
Where: Pairc Sean MacDiarmuida, Carrick-on-Shannon.
Wearing: yellow rain jacket and flat shoes
Other Information: As I walked out the stand onto the pitch, Ms Lynch was there with her mother and brother and cut rather forlorn figures like much of the rest of the Leitrim following. Someone was speaking to her about Celebrity Bainsteoir and she replied that âAh it was good auld craic alrightâ.
[/QUOTE]
She was sitting 2 rows in front of me Farmer, and to be honest, she didnât seem to give a fiddlers about the match.
Why not?,RTE have done two documenteries about this fellas charity and his aid work has been heralded around the World,he doesnt own or work in the chipper that i spotted him in,hes isnt a food critic either,wheres the problem?
:rolleyes:[quote=ânorth county corncrakeâ]not a spot[/QUOTE]
Seeing as NCC as offered no reason why my spotting of Niall Mellon in a Thomastown take away should be declared invalid im hereby declaring it a valid spot.
we can spot big stars in the sticks too ya know;),they arent all in Donohues(where ever that is,tis full of celebs anyway according to this e-place) seven days a Week.
Where were you sitting Baby? I was in the main stand - strange I didnât see you somewhere. It is not as if either of us are difficult to spot.
