Who. Hapless Wexford TD Mick Wallace
Famous for. Being a hapless Wexford TD.
Where. Pulling out of his development at Jones Rd
Wearing. Couldn’t tell but I assume it was his faithful pink polo shirt. ( does this guy ever change his shirt?)
Demeanour. In a hurry. Presume he is off to the match
Other notes. Mick was driving an lhd BMW X5. I have long been curious about the restaurant so I pulled in for a coffee and a fag. Nice coffee if a little on the cold side. I was the only customer.
When. Now. I am finishing the coffee as I type.
More notes on the restaurant. As I was leaving I noticed that they do a very good dinner deal. Two courses and a glass of wine for €14.95 with a good choice of tasty Italian fare. There were absolutely no takers for this generous offer. Meanwhile across the road the Savoy takeaway on the corner of Fitzgibbon street was literally heaving with Billy Bunters queuing up to pay €7 for a battered sausage and chips. Maybe the good folk of Tipperary and Kilkenny will display a more varied palate and pack the place out for Mick on Sunday.
a hapless thieving cunt but a great man to finish a concrete footpath supposedly
not a spot as common as crows around the place
Who: Liverpool and FAI representative team legends Ray Houghton and Ronnie Whelan
Where: The hotel formerly known as the Berkeley Court, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, bar area
When: 10:10pm, Friday September 2nd, 2011
Demeanour: talking
Economist, commentator and Red Army veteran Constantin Gurdgiev.
Yesterday afternoon, roughly 2pm.
A more crusty-looking than expected academic type outfit of rather ill-fitting grey jean-type trousers and a green sports jacket.
Constantin lit a cigarette (looked like a Marlboro Red) as he crossed the road at the junction of Nassau St and Dawson St and made his way, puffing contentedly, through the Douglas Hyde entrance to Trinity College, down the ramp of the Arts Block and off in the
direction of Front Square. He was carrying what I suspect were donuts or a pastry in a red paper bag whose provenance I couldn’t identify. Maybe Marks and Spencer’s cafe. Constantin is a good lad.
I am convinced that I spotted at least one and possibly two celebrities last night but I can’t remember specifics, not even any names, due to alcohol related reasons. Was there any TV or radio types in the 51 per chance?
Spotted nicky Byrne and his father in law Bertie walking together out of the match. Surprisingly neither, especially Bertie, were getting any abuse. Also saw Amanda brusker in the chop house. Looking fierce well has to be said
Who: Paul Dempsey
Famous for: Setanta Sports presenter
Where & When: Fillies Bar, Leopardstown races yesterday afternoon circa 6pm
Wearing: Pinstripe shirt, white shirt and pink tie with a windsor knot (I think)
Notes: Paul was having a pint with some other lad who looks familiar in the smoking area of Fillies. I’ve seen him a few times in Leopardstown so can just assume he’s into his racing
Who: Ivan Yates
Famous For: Current Newstalk presenter, former TD & Minster for Agriculture, Entrepeneur and Horse Owner
Where & When: Leopardstown races and then again at Shelbourne Park yesterday afternoon and evening
Wearing: Grey overcoat which covered a suit
Notes: Ivan was in good spirits and exchanged a few words with me as we walked past each other. He hadn’t backed any winners (neither had I) but I advised him to back Rockchase Bullet in the following race which duely obliged thankfully for both of us. Fans of the thread will note that I spotted Ivan at the exact same location almost exactly 12 months previously.
dont you work for yates?
Negative I’m afraid.
A veritable cacophony of cunts today:
Who: Meeehawl Martin, Eamon Gilmore, Brendan Howlin Michael Noonan, Biffo Cowen, an absolutely decrepit looking Albert Reynolds, Sean Kelly MEP, and Bertie. Also a ridiculous Lord Mayor of Dublin and his hideous mot, and Bernard Dunne
Where: Croke Park, between 1-4.30 pm
Other notes: Brendan Howlin could/should be officially declared a dwarf. Nobody spoke to and everybody ignored Bertie. Martin literally walked right past him and dinghy-ed him. He stood well apart from everyone and was roundly ignored
Demeanour: everyone seemed in good form. Bar Bertie who has a serious case of whiskey nose. Almost Fergie-esque
Who : Andy Schleck
Where : Luxembourg airport
When : Sunday September 4th circa 5.30 pm (4.30 pm GMT)
Famous for : Runner up in the previous three Tours de France
Wearing : Blue jeans, blue t-shirt, white trainers
AOB : The Lux legend was checking in for a flight in the company of a tasty enough young lady friend. His main luggage was some class of specialised cyclists suitcase/baggage thingy. He was going business class, to where, I don’t know. The lady who checked him in was very happy to do so and she might have been a little wet too.
He is one wiry, sinewy mofo.
Major step down from Piles spot in fairness.
Who. Simon Carswell
Famous for. Irish Times Business Journalist and author of some book on Anglo.
Where. Bounding up Townsend St
Wearing. Good quality grey suit, open neck blue shirt. Overall effect smart.
Demeanour. Beaming. Like a man that just got a big scoop. Or maybe a man that was off to have a big scoop.
Other notes. Although somewhat chubby, Simon is a little hop a me thumb, no more than 5’3". He is also not unlike Mick Hucknall.
Who. Agnieszka Radwanska
Famous for. Professional Tennis player
Where. Peek & Cloppenburg shop Krakow, last Wednesday.
Wearing. Red Jeans, Blue jacket, big glasses.
Other notes. Waiting outside a fitting room while her friend was trying something on. Looked a bit pissed off.
