Paulo – I was brought up listening to the Third Programme [now BBC Radio 3] so I suppose I was listening to classical music ‘even as a young one’. Apology accepted. [can't speak for Emerald though]

No, no,no, of course not, no chop for you. I listen to little Heyden go seek myself once in a Weil, it was the ” even as a young one” that got completely up my oversized nose. Apologies for the over reaction.

Jayzus, Paulo! I prefer classical music too. Am I for the chop?

Baino – I’m not sure what season we are in at the moment. We had snow last month, but it was quite mild this week. I don’t get frustrated by my neighbours because I can easily heave bricks at them.

Oh for goodness sakes you all got out of the bed on the wrong side! You don’t even know these people. Now I dislike my neighbour across the road for good reason, she drives a Toyota Landcruiser at 120kms up the middle of the road! Winter is clearly coming to the Northern Hemisphere and you’re getting grumpy in advance! (25 and partially sunny in Sydney) avagoodweekend!

I dont know any of the Irish twats but I would definitely vote Andie Mcdowell off the planet if only for totally ruining the already mediocre ” four bells and a whistle” or whatever it was called. And just for good measure could she take that pompous jackass “emerald islander”, with his repeated advisory that he dosen’t watch television followed by the amazingly smug statement that he “prefers classical music and have all my life, even as a young one” with her? EVEN AS A YOUNG ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

When I commented here yesterday, I forgot to mention one name, and this one really, really annoys me more than anyone else. And it is not only the way he looks, but also the way he speaks and the most idiotic and brainless “humour” he bombards the Irish public with.

I am talking about Pat Shortt, Ireland’s least funny and most annoying “comedian”. If I hear any more promotional ads for his rubbish show “Killinaskully” (I call it Killinanumbskull) I might stop listening to RTE and switch over to the BBC. At least they don’t interrupt their programmes with stupid ads every few minutes.

Jim Carrey, I will say no more – just typing his name has forced me to go through three keyboards and two monitors…….. Enough is enough!

Good list, Grandad. I can see them all sitting around Pat the Plank’s table at the Most Annoying TV People Annual Awards.

Well, Dorothy, you are of course entitled to your opinion, as everyone else is. And I wouldn’t know much about the Corrs’ music, as I prefer classical music (and have all my life, even as a young one).

But I have to say in their defence that they have been supporting the causes of Amnesty International for quite some time and helped me – without charging a penny – to launch an international campaign against torture in Dublin a few years ago. For me that kind of commitment is more important than looks and music.

I once searched Jennifer Anniston’s car.

No, really.

She was quite nice about it all, and didn’t mention you.. but she may not have known about you back then. I’m sure she does now.

Who doesn’t?
