GGA players arenāt spots
If I went to a big ball game and a GGA and player is classes as a celeb, then all 30 players would be spots. We would have to change the rules to make hobbies ineligible
The Celebrity Spotting Thread Part Twee (or help Flatty identify the celeb he just spotted) (Part 1)

There was a classic northern England moment beforehand. There was a fundraiser for the Christie , which involved a painting competition for the patients. The best four were selected and were on easels at the door. They werenāt anything youād hang on your wall, but thatās maybe a bit churlish. Anyhow, they were auctioning off the winner. Bids started at Ā£200 (youād have paid Ā£200 not to have it tbh), and had reached Ā£300 when a lad at the front just said āIāll give you ten grand for the lotā.
āAnd who are you?ā Asked the auction lad, who was a BBC radio presenter I canāt remember the name of.
āDunāt matter. Iām with Mick Summerbeeā.

Ah grand, hadnāt heard him referred to as Mick or Mickey. A proper legend.
They are spots but the thing is are they celebrities -
Of GGA personalities maybe only Davy Fitz , Joe Brolly and Pat Spillane are celebrities .
Would Cyril Farrell, Liam Sheedy and Paul Galvin be classed as celebrities?
Post them up there when you spot them and weāll see.

Who : Former Retail giant turned Fitness mogul Ben Dunne.
Where : Circle K Station, M8
Demeanour : couldnāt tell under his mask but Ben doesnāt look great on his feet.
Other info : Ben nosed about the shop having a gander at the Deli offering although refraining from a purchase. In the end, Ben picked up a paper to which he handed it over to his driver who was paying for the fuel.
End : Ben and driver sped off with Ben seated in the rear of their 2020 reg Black Mercedes E220 Saloon.
The Endā¦ā¦

In Amsterdam? Went there 15 years ago. Wasnāt long after spending time in one of the coffee shops. I found the art very interesting and the colours very vibrant.

You bloody hypocrite
Do celebrities at funerals count? It would seem a bit naff.
I was at a funeral this morning. There was a lot of local FF politicians and ex-Limerick hurlers.
Itās one that moving around the UK. Called Van Gogh alive

Thatās it. Ed had taken it over for the evening. I thought itād be the usual warm wine/prosecco/stale buffet job so said Iād drive.
There was a free bar there, then a full free bar at the alchemist. Cocktails, anything.
Iād not like to have picked up the tab.
There were people there from the charity he was fundraising for making absolute pigs of themselves.

I was also on funeral duties this morning. There was a massive turnout of Republicans from both jurisdictions, many of them national figures but given the occasion Iād be against logging them.
The padre didnāt shy away from the deceasedās committment to the cause and managed to get the events and interactions of 1983 into his mini-eulogy. Heād be from that political persuasion himself I gathered.
Ballinamore would be a republican stronghold so heās comfortable in it.
A great turnout and a great occasion to try out the new traffic light system from the western approach as you enter the commercial districtā¦.
