Whatever happened to

‘Wouldn’t get along with but would ride anyway’

Another touch point that unites the far-right and far-left.

Mention of General Ratko Mladic inevitably brings to mind his partner in war crime Radovan Karadzic, who has a face we all remember.

It just so happened that a friend of my oul’ fella’s going back decades looked very like Radovan Karadzic, and from about 1993 on, when the real Radovan had come into the international public consciousness due to his face constantly being on the RTE Nine O’Clock News, my oul’ fella privately, well, privately to myself, started calling his friend “Radovan”, though never in his company.

We’d go to a league match between Dublin and Down in Croke Park in the depths of February 1994 and me oul’ fella would tell me at half time “We’re going for a drink afterwards with Radovan and his (Manchester United-supporting) son to watch the Wimbledon v Man United FA Cup match”. This sort of thing continued on a three or four times yearly basis for around the next 15/16 years.

And never once did Radovan find out he was called Radovan.

Is this the lady who used to host a music show on RTE years ago?

Yes.
She was having it off with Eddie Irvine years ago.

One for the “it could have been me” thread.She does look a bit jewish.

She was one of Ireland’s ‘top models’ back in the day.
The standard was quite low though.

She was a radio DJ at one stage too. I used to enjoy her phantom fm show with that (ex?) Off The Ball chap Richie McCormack probably around 2012 maybe. Then station manager at the time Keith Walsh (later of RTÉ 2m & more recently mental heath crusader & campaigner against RTÉ’s employment status of staff) appeared to get jealous of the show’s popularity & the presenting duo’s easy banter/affinity with each other, broke it up & inserted himself into the slot. Phantom then went bust, didn’t it? I’m glad to read that Michelle & family are safe in Sydney.

Paddy Cosgrave.

Thankfully I haven’t heard anything about the intrepid Paddy in a good while.
He’ll pop up now in short and garner a hape of COTY nominations in the manner of when your team need a goal, you go to the jacks and they score.

He has opened a cafe or restaurant in Dublin I heard recently

The ditch website.

He’s involved in that.

Even the Ditch website has run out of stories of FFG local councillors having faulty headlamps.

Pajo Cosgrave’s race was run once the Israelis did him in back in October 2023.

Hugh Cahill

He still does the rugby
