The Celebrity Spotting Thread Part Twee (or help Flatty identify the celeb he just spotted) (Part 1)

Who: Timmy Dooley.
Where: Clothes alteration store, South Anne St.

I was there collecting a jacket that they had sorted after the zip yard made a bollox of replacing a zip. Timmy was stressing about a jacket he thought he needed for tomorrow evening but actually needs for tomorrow morning. They told him not to worry and that it would be ready for him. They made a right good job of the zip too.

Who Else: Bernard Dunne
Where: Walking into the Shelbourne Hotel.

Bernard was walking in with that ā€˜do you know Iā€™m famous lookā€™ to the doormen. Bernard, isnā€™t only just famous though, heā€™s also a cunt.

Dooley is not a spot. Dunne is.

Who: Alan Hughes

Famous for: Tv 3 presenter

When: Today - 2:15 approx

Where: Starbucks - Sutton.

Anything Else: I had 30 mins to kill earlier today and rather foolishly entered the above franchise instead of one of the independent ones nearby. Mr Hughes entered the premises in the company of two other men. I didnā€™t immediately notice him but perked my head up when I heard his distinctive voice. He was quiet loud ordering and Iā€™d imagine the whole place heard him.

He was dressed in navy slacks and a dark coloured denim jacket. He was sporting a bit of a beard as well. He is a fresh looking man and you wouldnā€™t put the 58 years on him that wikipedia tells me he is.

Who: Niall Quinn

Famous for: Ex footballer, manager :face_with_hand_over_mouth: and club chairman

Where: Outside the Springfield Hotel, Leixlip

When: Today at 12.15pm

Other notes: Niall was emerging from the hotel as I was going in. He was well dressed in a white shirt and expensive looking jeans. Heā€™s also well tanned. I was disappointed at his height though in comparison to my own and appeared to be a shortarse.

You should have dropped up for a cup of tea seeing as you were in the locality @Fat_Pox or gone into Higginsā€™s and bought some proper mate.

Ah Iā€™m around that part of the world a good bit. Love popping in the Supervalue picking some of their own brand yogart.

Iā€™m the fella in the Panama Hat with the limp.

There are a lot of eccentrics in that part of the world. I do enjoy a bit of eavesdropping on the locals when I have a coffee outside Higginā€™s. A different crowd entirely for a west Tipp roaster to be mixing with.

Imagine being from Mount Sion and living there for 20 years.

I would consider myself quite tall and when I met Quinn I thought him very tall. You must be some freak Farmer.

No need for that.

@Fagan_ODowd Iā€™d be wasting my time recounting a spot of former Fine Gael MEP Brian Hayes, right?

Iā€™d say so, though he is now longer a politician. If you make the spot sufficiently entertaining Iā€™ll consider it. I canā€™t say fairer than that.

On a slightly different note- i saw charles mountbatten- Windsor there a few weeks agoā€¦and camilla. What do you think?

Out of date, if a few weeks would be more than two. Otherwise it would have been a spot, if they werenā€™t working.
