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

No @Fagan_ODowd. No Clare people are spots. Regardless of the amount of detail or interaction. Just no.

Yours in fairness and integrity.

Fuck sake, Fagan seems to live his life between chapter one and the Shelbourne hotel, what chance do us roasters down in Limerick have if Celia Holman Lee and Tom the busker are being turned down??

Nice detail from you as usual but Iā€™m afraid the ā€˜no gingersā€™ rules applies here.
Also, he was technically working. I know, we usually let that one slide but Iā€™m enforcing it this time just for you.

Not a spot but thanks anyway.

By the way, I would like to throw this one out there

Who: John Mullane, former outstanding hurler, fist pumper and Waterford crest kisser.

Where: Tramore, Co. Waterford

When: Saturday June 4 2016 @5pm approx

Details: 2 of my kids were in the junior bumpers in the Tramore amusement park. John was standing beside me as his kids were also on the junior bumpers.

Aside: what a wonderful weekend of sun, sea and sand in Tramore. :sunny::sunny::sunny::sunny::sunny::sunny::sunny:

Iā€™d usually do what I could for you but the ā€˜no gingersā€™ rule applies and we afford no mercy to them.

Not a spot Iā€™m afraid.

@fisty you are playing a blinder here, we like the cut of you jib.

Grand, I knew it was a long shot.

Who : the actor who plays the Monsignor in rteā€™s controversial ā€˜The Risingā€™
When : Thursday of last week 11.07am
Where : the park within the grounds of St Patrickā€™s cathedral
Attire : said actor wore a pair of khaki ā€˜combatā€™ shorts, a drab short sleeved shirt and sandals. His feet and toe nails had the look of having spent the last 12 months underneath socks and hadnā€™t adjusted well to sunlight or the outdoors. He Carried a black backpack slung over one shoulder only despite having 2 straps in the style opposite to that of the typical Spanish student.
Demeanour : he looked deep in thought, he caught my eye briefly as he ambled through the park, I made a remark along the lines of ā€˜studying for the next episode Monsignor?ā€™ While gesturing to the ecclesiastical surrounds. He responded with an awknowledgement of the correlation of his recent role and the location but then sauntered up to me. We engaged in small talk and he told me he and lady friend are shortly expecting their first child and that he too tires of that home insurance ad. We exchanged pleasentries and spoke about the upcoming euros. As he left he went back the way he came. There was a distant look in his eyes and something just below the surface that seemed to be troubling him. I drew the following conclusions:

  • he was not travelling through the park (there are multiple entrances and it acts as a scenic and efficient through way from clanbrassil street to Kevin street). He was there to do some thinking and only a fool would conclude that of all available me parks the fact that this was one within the grounds of St Patrickā€™s cathedral wAs coincidental* . He was there to seek Divine guideance
  • he has some deep seated issues or problems (potentially sexual) that he felt uncomfortable talking to a man on a park bench about
  • he does not wear sandals frequently and cuts his toe nails only when absolutely required
  • he did not solve his problems on that visit to the park

*For clarity while the park within St Patrickā€™s cathedral grounds is and remains the property of the Dublin diocese, the day to day administration of same is the responsibility of the local council.

Please note that it is no coincidence that above spot of stat of the rising is post 1916 on this thread . Im Hoping the adjudication team will take this into consideration when deciding if this qualifies as a ā€˜spotā€™

Youā€™re in. :ok_hand:
Congrats.

Hello, pal. I spotted Pat McEneaney again on Main Street, Carrickmacross, yesterday while the Monaghan game was in progress up the road in Clones. Have you had any second thoughts about his celebrity status?

Pat was on the Corduff GAA club stall at the Carrickmacross Festival and was selling tickets to win a heifer for a tenner a pop as a club fundraiser. The heifer was tied up to a railing behind him. Pat was giving the sales pitch and shouting, ā€œget the heifer for a tenner - wonā€™t talk back to ya, will keep yer grass short and will give you a lovely dinner.ā€

I remarked to an acquaintance that I was surprised he wasnā€™t at the football. I was told that there may be a little bit of jealousy that Malachy Oā€™Rourke has taken Monaghan up another few notches since Patā€™s brother was in charge. I canā€™t confirm if thereā€™s any truth to that assertion.

Pat was wearing a Corduff polo shirt, shorts and open toed sandals. He looked like the type of man who only cuts his toe nails when absolutely necessary.

Look it buddy. Iā€™ve already refused him as a spot so for you to obtain a spot through begging and badgering me would be a hollow victory for you.
Youā€™ll thank me for it in a few years when you grow up.

Who: comedian and actor Joe Rooney
Famous for: being fr Damo in father Ted and appearing as a roaster in the roaster comedy kilnascully.
Where: The International Bar on Wicklow st in Dublin
WHen: Friday afternoon around 3pm
Anything else: Joe has filled out in later years and is far from the rakish fr Damo figure. His lady friend is a bit of a goth. Itā€™s not a great look for a woman in her thirties.
