Guys I set the scene, describe the interaction in detail & analyse the aftermath for all the people in remote locations, people who might go from one year to the next without spotting any celebrity. I want to show them what itâs like, let them imagine a world where they too can spot celebrities on a regular basis. Let them dream that it could be them one day. I could say âspotted David Davin-Power standing on the Clontarf Roadâ but that wouldnât be worth a damn.
Iâd be more familiar with Dublins 1, 2, 7, 6W and 8 so I appreciate the scene setting
The Central Dublin culchie free-movement zone
It was wonderful
Who: AJ Styles
Famous for: professional wrestler.
Where: Dublin Airport T2
When: yesterday
Notes: AJ is surprisingly short. And surprisingly old. Still appears to do the odd bicep curl.
AJ was wearing that unique style of clothing that appears to be tattered and in shit, yet also somehow appears to be savage expensive. He called me, and everyone else, âbrotherâ
For the rules, I was at my place of work but not working.
Is he from Wexford Town?
Spot
Who: Rebecca Adlington
Famous for: gold medal olympic swimmer Team GB
Where: outside a cafe in Manchester queuing up for her breakfast
When: this morning about 11
Notes: fine big woman, cheery sort would seem. Had no idea who she was until the missus informed me. Got not asked for preferential treatment as content to queue for a table to come available.
Not a spot
Had Lionel not said he hadnât a clue who she was until his missus told him would you have allowed it?
Ah no
Nobody gets spots in Manchester except Flatty
Spotted Dermot Kennedy yesterday afternoon but he was on his way to work so I am not claiming it as an official spot.
He had a fairly high speed Garda escort going in the Ennis Road, was mildly surprised to see him driving alone in a Range Rover.
Had a piss next to Michael Healy Rae in Sneem a while ago, there seemed to be an event on in the hotel so Iâd say he was at work
I said, âjaysus didnât expect you to be hereâ or something like that (despite his car being parked right in front of the main entrance festooned with his nameđâ
He said, âyou never know where youâll find me and laughed out loudâ I carried on pissing, he was dressed exactly as youâd expect, had a sound way about him,
