Ex-Limerick Hurling Manager and general all attention seeker Tom Ryan
Location: Limericks Market Quarter
Dress: Sensible trousers, pattern jumper (predominantly wine) with pale coloured shirt underneath
Occasion: Seems to have been doing a spot of shopping in the market area as he was holding a brown paper bag.
Suspicions: He may have been coming from any number of shops although there is one rather ârisquâ shop very close to where I spotted him
Observations: There are railings on the footpath in that area to stop people crossing the road in dangerous spots and holding up the traffic. Tom obeyed these railings and went at least 10 yards off course to allow himself to cross the road in a safe and sensible manner. Thatâs our Tom, never one to cause an unnecessary hold up.

#1
Who: Denis Hickie
Famous For: Playing rugby for Ireland and Leinster. Having no hair.
Where: Walking up a stairs in a hostel on Aungier Street. I was on a bus driving by but he was clearly visible.
Wearing: Some sort of black top was all that could be conclusively seen.
Company: None
Other into: The hostel is soon to become a âBald Balistaâ apparently and the picture of the bloke on the notice for the âBald Baltistaâ looks remarkably like Mr Hickie so maybe this is a venture he is behind.
#2

One from today at lunchtime:-
Who: Ex-Ireland rugby player, Leinster manager and Fianna Fil TD Jim Glennon
Where: Standing outside The Pembroke on Pembroke St, Dublin 2.
Wearing: A grey suit and white shirt combination (open collar and no tie).
With: A random gentleman who was wearing dark trousers and a blue shirt. This man was also sporting a beard.
Other information: Jim was chewing gum and the two men swapped cards (I would venture they were business cards) and Jim put the card he received into his inside suit pocket (left breast area).

Might his friend have been the guy fifth from right in this picture?
from this evening.
where: coppers
when: between the hours of midnight and 3am
who: pretty much half the leinster team past and present
horgan, dâarcy, driscoll, corrigan, mccormack, blaney, oâkelly, gleeson
with: various over-weight ex-rugby types,
doing: fighting off the advances of numerous vapid blow-dryed perma tanned bunny boilers, and dodging insults from lads in munster jerseys
other information: reggie could probably still hold down a scrum, and may well still be a better option than horan at this stage. heâs also an absolute gent and a surprisingly good dancer for a big man. (let the girls decide that one for me)
btw: looking around me, considering theyâd just been held scoreless and beaten up a stick on their home turf by their closest rivals, i had to ask, whereâs the hurt boys?
P.S. in spite of the stiff competition, and having fought off the attention of an absolute troll from cork, (iâd sooner have gotten a bite from a badger), i put sufficient distance between me and âthe goysâ before finally settling for a teacher from donegal. enchanting accent. pity about her morals, but it leaves me free to type this while the memory still lingers.
added bonus: all credit to economic recessions, but if this is the standard to which this bastion of dublin social life has sunk to, it is indeed a sad day for ireland. could be a cold winter.

When: Sunday, September 28.
Where: Croweâs Pub, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.
Who: RTE Sport Televisionâs Evanne N Chuilinn in the company of Kildare footballer Dermot Earley.
Other Information: Evanne and Dermot strode into the bar together and Dermot immediately went downstairs (presumably to the gentsâ toilets) leaving Evanne to order at the bar. Dermot returned upstairs and briefly spoke to Evanne at the busy bar before strolling over to near where we were sitting.
Interaction With TFK Members: Dermot then proceeded to take out his mobile phone and I can only assume he was in the process of informing some friends of their whereabouts judging by the fact he leaned over and asked us, âWhatâs the name of this pub?â We replied in unison, âCroweâsâ and he said âThanksâ. Then Evanne came back from the bar and they moved over and stood by the window.
Wearing: Evanne was wearing a blue jeans and white cardigan and Dermot was wearing a blue jeans and an Abercrombie and Fitch navy t-shirt with the number â92â emblazoned across the left breast area.
Finally: We decided to have another cheeky pre-game pint at about 6.30pm and Evanne and Dermot left at this point. I would wager some turnip muncher from Munster made some offensive comment to Evanne judging by the way she stopped, turned around and gave this lad a filthy look on her way out.
