âWouldnât get along with but would ride anywayâ
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 oulâ fellaâs 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 OâClock News, my oulâ fella privately, well, privately to myself, started calling his friend âRadovanâ, though never in his company.
Weâd go to a league match between Dublin and Down in Croke Park in the depths of February 1994 and me oulâ fella would tell me at half time âWeâre going for a drink afterwards with Radovan and his (Manchester United-supporting) son to watch the Wimbledon v Man United FA Cup matchâ. 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 âit could have been meâ thread.She does look a bit jewish.

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 RTĂ 2m & more recently mental heath crusader & campaigner against RTĂâs employment status of staff) appeared to get jealous of the showâs popularity & the presenting duoâs easy banter/affinity with each other, broke it up & inserted himself into the slot. Phantom then went bust, didnât it? Iâm glad to read that Michelle & family are safe in Sydney.

Paddy Cosgrave.
Thankfully I havenât heard anything about the intrepid Paddy in a good while.
Heâll 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.
Heâs involved in that.
Even the Ditch website has run out of stories of FFG local councillors having faulty headlamps.
Pajo Cosgraveâs race was run once the Israelis did him in back in October 2023.
Hugh Cahill
He still does the rugby
