Dickheads of the year, 2007
Posted on | December 18, 2007 | 157 Comments
As per Damien’s gentle prompt here are Ireland’s Dickheads of the Year 2007. I couldn’t be arsed putting them in any kind of order but the last one is, in my opinion, the supreme all-conquering Dickhead of the Year. Let the dicking begin, as they say around Michael Barrymore’s swimming pool.
Bertie Ahern
Not really a surprise, this one. The Taoiseach was already having a bad year leading up to the election but still managed to get back in. Since then his explanations about cash payments and digouts haven’t convinced anyone apart from Eoghan Harris, he practically cried on TV (and we all know that only girls and doves cry), he has been aggressive and belligerent when anybody has tried to challenge him on points of government or his personal finances and days after being given a €38,000 payrise he was moaning about being ‘poverty stricken’.
The lawyers at the Mahon Tribunal don’t believe him, I’ve yet to meet anyone who believes what he says about getting money from his old mates and bank loans and dollar lodgements, the country is going up the fucking swanny and this man still passes the buck and shirks responsibility for anything. I hope someone spikes his drink with Katy French’s cocaine.
Enda Kenny
Winning the last election should have been a breeze. The government was rocked in the polls, blighted by tales of corruption and all it needed was somebody with an ounce of charisma to come along and pull the rug right out from under Bertie’s feet. Unfortunately we got Enda who has all the magnetism of Steve Davis singing a Leonard Cohen medly. Not really a dickhead but crap enough to earn a place in here.
Martin Cullen
As Minister for Transport he presided over the wonderous deal in which the government took control of the M50 toll bridge from National Toll Roads who have run it, and creamed the money in, since the ‘motorway’ opened. The state will have control from 2008 but will pay NTR €50m a year until 2020. So the same company that has made millions and millions in tolls will continue to make millions and millions, from us, because the government bought it with our money.
Then he awarded the contract for barrier free tolling, so we can be more conveniently fucked up the arse as we sit in traffic jams trying to get to work/the airport/home, to a French company at a cost of €113m. Twat.
Tim O’Reilly and friends
In March some blogger or other got some death threats which prompted Tim O’Reilly and a few other hand-wringing, bleeding heart morons to propose a ‘Blogger’s code of conduct’. No, really. They did. O’Reilly said:
I do think we need some code of conduct around what is acceptable behaviour, I would hope that it doesn’t come through any kind of [legal/government] regulation it would come through self-regulation.
The whole thing was a hysterical overreaction and while death threats aren’t nice the idea that blogging could be regulated was as ill-conceived an idea as Hitler the Musical in the Tel Aviv Opera House. I hope they look at it now and realise what complete dicks they all made of themselves.
Justice Paul Carney
He gave a three year suspended sentence to rapist Adam Keane, forcing his victim to travel back to her home down the country on the same train. Mary Shannon was raped by Adam Keane while her three children slept in the next room. Adam Keane claimed he was out of it on booze and drugs and didn’t remember.
Justice Paul Carney gave him a three year suspended sentence. The only way that would work is if he had suspended Adam Keane by his balls from tree.
Joe O’Reilly
Rachel O’Reilly was a mother of two who was brutally murdered in October 2004. Soon suspicion fell on her husband Joe but Gardai were unable to find enough evidence to charge him. Eventually he was charged with her murder in October 2006 and this year he was convicted based on evidence from mobile phone signals and sentenced to life in prison.
He’s appealing but he’s also appalling. He was found guilty of murdering the mother of his children, he thought he was clever enough to get away with it, he was wrong. He’s on the list.
Amy Winehouse’s friends
Some so-called friends of troubled minger singer Amy Winehouse were disturbed by her behaviour. They thought her drug taking was out of control, her drinking that of an old sot and that her career and life were at risk if she didn’t make a change to her lifestyle. So what did they do? They set up a group on Facebook.
None of these people even deserve to live long enough to see their names in such prestigious company. Facebook groups have as much impact as The Thrills latest album. Fuck off.
Rock the Vote
Earlier in the year we had the general election. Some bright sparks came up with the idea to encourage young people to vote by showing them pithy videos featuring celebs. Wait, no, they got the idea from the US where they had real celebrities. We had Ryan Tubridy, some halfwit cunt called Frazier and lots of other famous and not so famous people telling us to ‘Rock the vote’. Seriously, what does ‘Rock the vote’ even mean? Wouldn’t ‘Vote the vote’ be a better idea?
Rock the Vote resorted to spamming, not just by email, but in comments boxes in blogs and refused to accept that what they had produced was a load of shit which was embarrassing, cringeworthy and irrelevant. Many young people simply refused to vote in protest and I can state for a fact that Fianna Fail’s victory in the election was entirely down to these cretins putting people off going to the polls as they were so offended and patronised by the whole campaign.
John Delaney
John Delaney promised Irish football fans a world class manager and then gave them Steve Staunton. That’s kind of like promising your mate a blind date with a beautiful, sexy girl and then sending him out to meet Mary Harney. Despite some early promise it became apparent that putting the cones out for Paul Merson at Walsall was not sufficient to get results against decent European sides. Or half decent European sides. Or even crap European sides.
Ireland had no chance of qualifying for Euro2008 yet still Delaney championed the manager he had stood behind so firmly at his appointment. When public opinion and Eamonn Dunphy’s bleating and teeth-gnashing got too much Delaney had to admit his mistake and Staunton was fired. As soon as that happened Delaney reminded us all that it was a three man committee that had appointed Staunton and he could hardly be expected to take the blame.
I want people to support him and the Association. I and the board have full confidence in Steve Staunton – John Delaney, Feb 2007
It’s unfortunate that I’ve been personally linked to the appointment when there was a sub-committee of three which was ratified by the board of the FAI, which is a committee of 10 – John Delaney, October 2007
Muppet.
The HSE
Ireland has a health service run by managers, clerics and accountants, which is kind of crap when you consider we need doctors, nurses and other medically trained staff. It’s gone way over-budget, there’s a freeze on recruitment and people are being messed around like they’re expendable and experimental.
Women are being told they don’t have breast cancer when, in fact, they do. Other women have problems yet cannot get seen by a doctor for months at a time, superbugs are rampant and the whole thing would make you desperately afraid to ever get sick, whether you have private health care or not.
When you hear opposition politicians actually crying on the radio at what a disaster the health service is then you know something is terribly wrong. Once again though, the lack of accountability and responsibility from the top levels of government mean nothing is likely to change any time soon.
“Hi everybody!”
“Hi Doctor Nick!”
David McSavage
When Steve Coogan wrote Alan Partridge he must have dreamt about the ultimate sketch. Something so toe-curlingly awful that it would go down in the annals as a definitive moment in television comedy. I bet he never thought he would be comprehensively out-Partridged in real life by a feckless Irish ‘comic’. However, that’s what happened when David McSavage (roundly called a cunt on his own website’s guestbook) appeared on the Late, Late show some weeks ago.
It was truly horrible, jokes that raised barely a titter, a stomach churning impression of host Pat Kenny having sex and all round it was without question the most cringeworthy moment of the year. Don’t believe me? See for yourself and there should be a prize for anyone who can go beyond 3 minutes.
Independent Newspapers
The final entry. For me the Dickhead of the Year 2007. It may not be one person with just one head but it cannot go without comment. It reached its nadir with the appalling coverage of Katy French’s illness and death but there was so much else it did to make it the top of the charts this year. Such as:
- Plagiarising Irish bloggers, more than once
- Attacks on blogs and bloggers yet they approached bloggers and asked them work for free
- Championing Bertie Ahern during the run-up to the election, conveniently forgetting to ask any of the more diffucult questions, like ‘But seriously, where did that money come from?’
- Its obsession with z-list celebrity culture. They built up Katy French yet the same group which castigated anyone who dared say a bad word about Katy French after she became ill was the same group which delightedly pointed out her cellulite as she got out of a car to attend her birthday party. They even circled it to make sure we’d see it. Hypocrites.
- Barry Egan and Brendan O’Connor’s pathetic, toadying writing, especially when featuring any female celebrity
- Their insistence on printing pictures of people in the throes of grief while at funerals.
- The culture of back-slappery and cronyism
And I’m sure all of you can add something to that list. To me the Independent represents all that’s wrong with journalism at the moment. At least with a tabloid you know what to expect but the Sunday Independent (by far the worst) may have a veneer of respectability due to its circulation but it is the biggest rag in the country.
The only thing I’m hopeful of is that after the last few weeks it can’t get any worse. But then this is the Indo, they constantly surprise you with their ability to sink lower and lower into the mire.
So congratulations Sir Tony and Co, you are Dickheads of the Year 2007.
I’m sure I’ve missed plenty and I apologise if any of them are glaring but then that’s what the comments are for. Go for it.

It’s a tough call, Twenty. I’d say we’ll be up late making this list.
December 18th, 2007 @ 12:41 am
I missed that “poverty stricken” stuff, I must have had my head up my arse.
December 18th, 2007 @ 12:43 am
Twenty, I notice there’s no women mentioned…(I should note here that I’m cross gender and therefore not biased)
you might have a special Categury for them…GowalBag?? TitHeads?…I mean, there must be a special place for Mary Harney, Marian Finucane (what ever you’re havin yourself, if u know what I mean)… and loads more…TitHeads sounds ok..your call Twenty
December 18th, 2007 @ 12:52 am
Twenty,
You have just put together the one list that I cannot possibly disagree about.

“Friends of Amy Winehouse” count as “Amy Winehouse” seems she started them.

Great list twenty – not a duff call in sight!
Saves me the bother and time, in a busy pre u-no-what season.
December 18th, 2007 @ 8:58 am
Twink should appear somewhere there as well…but other than that, it’s is spot on
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:08 am
No Pat Kenny then? No Brian ‘Rumpole’ Dobson? No Louis Walsh? Still you got Delaney and I suppose that’s the main thing.
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:19 am
Fighting Willie O’Dea for saying that if they were to get performance related pay they would get a bigger payrise, for his support in the Shannon Debachle and having the dignity to scrap in a pub.
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:26 am
This is nothing mroe than Right Wing propaganda and well you know it.
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:35 am
I can agree with all except one but its a fair list.
Maybe I should make up one for the lebanese but then it would just be all the politicians here that cant elect a president except for the ones that have already been blown up as they dont have heads left.
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:36 am
No mention of that cunt nonny ?
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:39 am
Brilliant Twenty. Brilliant. Couldn’t disagree with a thing! I agree on the list of women though… plenty of them too!
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:39 am
Gerry Ryan, Tubridy and king cunto Pat Kenny could’ve had guest appearances in there somewhere, like any other year. As for the Indo I expected less outrage and more contemptuous vitriol, but otherwise top list
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:40 am
Joe Duffy too, the beirdy wankstain
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:41 am
Good stuff – and you have it right; don’t piss off de wimmin’ – it ain’t worth it in the long run.
All women are lovely, ahem.
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:45 am
Ryan, Tubridy, Kenny et al have been cunts for donkey’s years now, they’ve done nothing exceptional this year to warrant a place on the list.
They’re huge cunts and will forever remain so, so save your breath for blowing the cobwebs of your birds gees.
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:45 am
What about our very own “Proud Englishman”, the personification of Dickheadism?
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:48 am
Genius in its simplicity; powerful in its brevity but entirely ‘unacceptable behaviour’. Thanks T
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:50 am
Kevin Myers – He who says things like
“You are useless” and when you retort
“No; you are useless” – he stands up and say’s in a very weird accent
“I don’t have to come on this show and take this abuse”
He really is a stupid fuvking cunt. Imagine being married to him. Jaysus.
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:51 am
Only one criticism – the driving force to all that is wrong with the sindo – are the bigot family The Fannings, dion, evan and the other cunt. Daddy and his evil spawn.
dion fanny knows fuck all about football and politics.
i know they don’t distress the general population as much as O’Connor, Egan,Harris and whoever else writes for them(1 yr since i last bought the rag), but their casual sectarianism and bigotry aimed at a football club i love, showed how little they know about life.
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:52 am
Celtic are a fucking shite, though.
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:53 am
I read that very same list in The Sunday Independent six weeks ago.
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:56 am
heh
December 18th, 2007 @ 9:58 am
How did that bean counting cunt Tony become a SIR?
Is there nothing you Irish wont nick of us English, every time we went to a tool shed on a building the Paddys would have ran of with all the picks and shovels, you lot even nicked our recipe for mashed potato, and the blueprints for that spike, and now your’e taking our titles, and another thing there is millions of acres of fields here perfect places for digging holes, but just to be awkward Paddy has to go and and dig them in the middle of the road just to get in my way when I’m on my way get a drink of that lovely black stuf, made by that great English man Arthur Guinness!
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:00 am
Zzzzz
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:11 am
Alfie, they even nicked your language and are making a better job of it than you. There is website on the use of the apostrophe just for cunts like you.
The “Paddies” built your fucking country because you lot couldn’t put together a fucking meccano set. They fucking fought for you along with us “Jocks” because you are a bunch of whining pussies.
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:14 am
Oh and Johnny 5 , at least Celtic are a proper football team unlike the subbuteo teams you have in the eircom league, you fucking Irish all support English Teams because you still invest your time and money in bogtrotting sports like hurling.
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:19 am
just found your blog – googled ‘a puppy is for life…a turkey is for christmas’ and there it was – i don’t know why – i was hoping for a youtube featuring a song i put up. am bookmarking it as i would fully support any smoking campaign – my own lasted a mere one hundred days – meehall martin’s smoke police told ‘the Kerryman’ they were hot on my trail so i went into hiding for the rest of my life – are they gone yet?
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:23 am
Don’t think anybody can agree with that list – although I think Ian O’Doherty should get a distinct mention instead being lumped in with those other cunts at the indo.
… and Harney should be listed separately from the HSE too.
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:26 am
Got a bite at last, go for it Jock.
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:26 am
They maybe shite, but thats because they don’t get tonnes of money from playing in an over-rated league. Basically run and financed by the people who go to the games. Not some cunt who pays 25 quid a month to sit on his sofa and “support” a team that has no relevance to him.
Away off and criticise the lads who get on the bus and support the Bohs and Longford Towns of this world.Tell them thatt the team that they keep alive with their hard earned cash are shite.
you don’t really understand sport.
the real problem was the disgraceful manner the fannings target anyone who does not follow a team from the sindo improved, strerile “greatest league in the world”. Personal, ill-informed, bigotted, possibly racist and just mean-spirited.
By the way – watched some opf that mcsavage thing – about halfway through. I thought that “iron my shirts bit” was funny though.
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:28 am
Surely The Electorate should be in that list? Or do we just fall into the saps of the year category?
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:32 am
Woowoo, are you from Glasgow?
And now that you mention it, I’ve a couple of mates that play in the eircom league and go to games when I can so thanks for bigging me up, you’re a star
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:32 am
By the way – watched some opf that mcsavage thing – about halfway through. I thought that “iron my shirts bit” was funny though.
It would have been if he hadn’t nicked it from somewhere else.
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:38 am
Good for you johnny. they’re all shite in that league!!!! Irrelevant, shgould be shut down – its only blocking traffic in Drumcondra when we’re all trying to get home to watch the Man U game.Stay home you cunt and stop blocking the traffic!
From Clare – living in Dublin.
Twenty – apparently nicking a joke from another comedian is the lowest of the low – saw that on a show about comedians on sunday!
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:38 am
I know a guy in Glasgow who’s mame should on the dickhead list, but that would only make him famous.
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:46 am
Very good sir
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:51 am
The English league is the best league in the world, though, whether you like it or not.
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:54 am
McSavage surely mas this one in the bag. Hopefully it’s in the same bag he’s in and dropping off the same bridge.
December 18th, 2007 @ 11:09 am
Where is Eoghan Harris ?
Although I accept he could be included in the sindo award, Ive no doubt he warrants his own Dickhead Gong.
Living testimony to the well-known fact that Man and Slugs shouldnt mate !
December 18th, 2007 @ 11:14 am
Did I miss something? why isn’t Eoghan Harris, that brown nosed git in there.
I appreciate that the list could go on and on, but Harris has to be there, as has that West Brit Bertie apologist Mansergh.
Bye, Barry
December 18th, 2007 @ 11:16 am
Can I put my next door neighbour on the list…he bought a speedboat with his SSIA and tests the engine on a Sunday Morning and then drives round the estate with it on his trailer hoping we think he’s as cool as fuck. Cock Weasel!
Where’s a U boat when you need one?
December 18th, 2007 @ 11:17 am
Twenty
should the irish rugby team & coach not be on this list for failure to deliver with what was a very talented team?
December 18th, 2007 @ 11:19 am
Possibly but then I couldn’t give a fish’s tit about the Irish rugby team.
December 18th, 2007 @ 11:22 am
I agree Twenty – the only sport played well by fat men is darts. rugby is a load of fucking shite for shitehawks.

True, Eoghan Harris deserves particular mention. He should be left in a room with many bottles of gin and only lemsips for mixers. I understand this is like the Jacob’s Ladder of depression.
Then all we need do is leave a few loaded guns about the room so that he shoots himself in his fucking ugly face and blows his fucking stupid brain out the back of his stupid fucking head. Eoghan? THAT’S how we’d like to hear you made Ireland a better place: By taking yourself permanently out of it.
The only miracle is that Eoghan Harris didn’t have the space to tell us all how he invented Katy French these past few weeks. Cunt! He’s a fucking CUNT! A disease-riddles, weeping, smelly, maggot-infested CUNT!

yep just had a look … thanks for pointing that out Johnny5 … will he manage to pull off 200 for 2008 ?
December 18th, 2007 @ 12:17 pm
actually Puerile Pish, about the English education system, just from watching shitty quiz shows like weakest link or whatever on TV it seems that English people are really bad at maths. Anyone else notice that? and its not just dizzy blonde essex slags either (“i don’t like maffs” followed by a ear pierced laugh).

You forgot solicitor-on-the-run Michael Lynn! Prime candidate for DHOTY
December 18th, 2007 @ 12:26 pm
The way I look at it is that Wings were a band on the run and Michael Lynn can’t possibly be worse than Wings.
December 18th, 2007 @ 12:26 pm
yep just had a look … thanks for pointing that out Johnny5 … will he manage to pull off 200 for 2008 ?
If they ever let him back into that orphanage he just might manage it.

Wings? The band the Beatles could have been?

December 18th, 2007 @ 12:35 pm
A nice list. Sums up the year and the way we all got raped by the government.
I’d like to add the Independent’s Nicola Anderson to the list, for being a slimy, Enda-Kenny-arse-licking little cunt as well as a fucking hack.
Rock the Vote – I had forgotten about that, but now I remember a picture of Colin Farrell holding a guitar back to front (with the strings facing him for fuck’s sake) in some paper. The tool.
December 18th, 2007 @ 12:35 pm
dont you mean if they ever let him back into the priesthood … as he slaps and rubs his hand on the arching back of the young eager alter boy “youll make a grand priest now wont you lad” .. and the froth bubbling out from the side of his mouth
December 18th, 2007 @ 12:39 pm
If I meant that I would have said that you presumptuous cunt.
December 18th, 2007 @ 12:41 pm
For all the government haters out there, the biggest omission had to be ‘The Irish Voter’.
Where did all those FF votes come from ?
You’d think there was a large section of the country who were SATISFIED with the way things were being run.
Imagine that !
December 18th, 2007 @ 12:51 pm
My next door neighbour is a self satisfied cunt with a speedboat, I reckon he is more than satisfied with the way in which things are being run. The BMW driving ,speedboat posing prick.

Oh, and no one mentioned Justine Delaney Wislon.

“You forgot solicitor-on-the-run Michael Lynn! Prime candidate for DHOTY”
I think the thick cunts who gave him € 80 fucking million with fuck all security should be on the list and also the fucking Fraud office dick heads who didn’t requet he hand over his passport.
Excellent list Twenty, especially comments re the fucking Indo, a truly reprehensible rag.
Brendan O Connor (If Carlsberg did Cunts) & as for Barry Egan, what is his purpose – A stupid long haired cunt doing a thick bitches job – see Lorraine Keane if you disagree.
I think the cunts who voted for Fianna Fail (Ye know who ye fucking Are) should also be remembered, where are yere kids going to go to school when they are all(Schools) bankrupted by water charges ??? CUNTS
Eoghan Harris for his Late Late appearance CUNT ..
Joe Duffy for being Joe Duffy & the IRFU for giving that CUNT HOLE Eddie O’Sullivan a four year contract are also worthy of a mention I think, but that’s just my opinion
December 18th, 2007 @ 2:07 pm
I would also like to add any drug dealer ever to that list, Eamonn Dunphy and the cunts from Drogheda FC who put the big celebratory billboard up in Dundalk. dickheads.

Johnny 5 – Its the richest, not the best,. The best is Spain and the most relevant and enjoyable is the Bundesleiga. The EPL is dull and overrated for the money thats in it. It should be alot better – now so should most leagues – scotland included, but the epl just isn’t that good for all the hype and money.Top 2 teams excluded…………….but thats the same in every league, nearly.
I forgot Gavin Lambe Arsehole……….fuck – the sindo truely is the home to all evil in ireland.
December 18th, 2007 @ 2:24 pm
Bundesliga…yeah…right.
December 18th, 2007 @ 2:27 pm
My Dickheads of the Year are;-
Our dear government who along with estate agents, builders, developers not to mention a little help from the unions have managed to turn the opportunity offered to us over the last decade by the introduction of cheap credit into a country bereft of any morals, and instead breed a nation of me feiners too fuc*** lazy to do anything for themselves except sell houses to one another.
Well the parties over you greedy shower and I hope you reap what you sow, now we can watch the dole queues growing, houses falling in value and the only growth industry will be the one that maesures negative equity over the next few years. There are times when I look at this latte sipping shower and think to myself they dont half forget when they were happy with a bit-in-the-bucket and lucky to get it.
Now all they want to do is fart through silk and snort coke. With that in mind I forgot to mention the HSE their managers, the medical unions etc etc

Johnny – do some research on the bundesleiga. And maybe have a look at setantas coverage – the crowds are amazing – very vocal.
you are showing a dismissive and arrogant attitude to the league, just because its not the EPL – the only league you think exists. You wouldn’t be so dismissive if you knew about the the bundesleiga………the vast majority of the clubs are owned by the fans – not private individuals, not on the market – actually run by the fans.
The fans – accross the board bycotted league games until acceptable TV times were agreed…..and most tickets are €15. And yet – their country is always there or thereabouts in Europe and the World cup.
Learn about the history of St Pauli and VFB, FC Cologne Nuremburg……..serious league – high skill, reasonable ticket price, Fan driven.
A model league. The best league – all things considered I suppose.
But besause its not the epl – I suppose it must be shit.

Lafsword is right! Wither the Duffy, the Dufster, man of the people, Duff duffington? Surely he MUST get a mention?
December 18th, 2007 @ 2:53 pm
Did I time this right to become comment #100?
Gerry Ryan is a bit of a cunt too.
December 18th, 2007 @ 2:54 pm
No, I didn’t.
December 18th, 2007 @ 2:55 pm
Woowoo, I do watch snippets of the bundesliga on Setanta and I’ve been to a St Pauli game, although they’re in the German equivalent of league one but I’m talking about the quality of the teams in each league.
It’s only my opinion but I beleive the EPL to be the best league in the world. The success of the ‘Big 4′ in Europe for the past 5 seasons proves that for me.
December 18th, 2007 @ 3:02 pm
A few more names surley like Mary Harney, Golden Gormley and the whole fucking Cabinet….. and I second the proposal that Proud Englishman be added.
I See that Purile Pish has omitted tossing The Caber as being a Scottish sport but perhaps his wrist is sore from masturbation!!!

Tossing the caber is a euphimism you cunt, and years of ingesting steroids means my wrist is thicker than Harney’s neck.
You can all take part in this online version (that’s Caber tossing not wanking)

Come on, keep the dickheads coming.
What about Ronaldo, the fucking pouncy nancy boy.
He surely must be due a serious, career threatening injury
December 18th, 2007 @ 4:24 pm
what about Diarmuid Gavin. So many garden tools available and no-ones planted one in his stupid wrong-ralking head.
December 18th, 2007 @ 4:38 pm
What about yer man that gate crashed the Late Late pretending to be Twenty? Then he ram raided the front doors. And all just because they wouldn’t take him seriously when he said he had the solution the road deaths problem.

December 18th, 2007 @ 5:32 pm
Yeah Peadar did you see the way Torres buried that free header in UTD’s net on Sunday, the goal which kept the glorious ‘pool in the premiership race thank God for that or we might have been out of it for Christmas.
December 18th, 2007 @ 5:42 pm
They’re not out of it yet. But if the pool don’t win then Arsenal will.
That’s what I’m telling myself anyway, I’m ABU through and through. Fucking bastarding cunts

But I do think the pool scum have blown it and, as a Man U fan, if the Ars can keep Fabregas fit it is their’s to lose. Glad to see John Terry dying by the sword on sunday though because he sure as hell lives by it…

December 18th, 2007 @ 7:12 pm
This list prompted me to Google Gavin Lambe Murphy and Twink.
Holy God.
I know you guys are having problems with the HSE and the crappy newspapers and your crooked Taoiseach and stuff, but all hell, if Gavin Lambe-Murphy isn’t a national fucking emergency all by himself, I haven’t been studying my National Fucking Emergency Preparedness Handbook enough.
December 18th, 2007 @ 8:01 pm
That humourless cunt of a busker got air time on RTE’s flagship program? The laughs on us….
I think a fund should be created to help with the legal fees for any hero that attacks him in temple bar. Anyone could stand on a corner and call passers by fat or old.
From now on anytime i see him busking he’s getting egged. And if he ever says anything about any female in my company he’s getting donkey punched.
December 18th, 2007 @ 8:09 pm
them JOCKS go to bed early are they green or blue or just yellow.
December 18th, 2007 @ 10:02 pm
This list will be printed and used as my christmas card this year
December 18th, 2007 @ 11:52 pm
This is a few years old now and you need to sing it to something like the tune of ‘Mountains of Mourne” the sentiment still holds true.
Rear of the Year (not quite)
(Written after the Pretty Polly competition results were announced in one of their advertising disguised as content features.)
Gerry Ryan ya bollix you’ve ruined me life
ya contemptible knacker, you’ve taken me wife
bad enough listening all morning to your radio show
and running up phone bills just saying hello
but Gerry couldn’t you’ve just left it at that
you won arse of the year you despicable pratt
now she’s spending entire days with me mum
admiring pictures of your indescribable bum
long haired or short, bearded or shaved
since your programmer’s inception she’s constantly raved
about interviews, competitions and scurrilous pranks
she invites me to listen but I just say, ‘no thanks’
so I’ll walk the dog and I’ll mow the lawn
and I’ll curse the day that you ever were born
and pretty polly have much to be answering for
awarding this title to such an insufferable bore
your research team’s hot, well I’ll grant you that
but you’re sounding like gaybo and getting quite fat
you’ve been given one mouth and can use it all right
but it shows when you interview, your attention spans shite
cos you’ve been given two ears and the purpose of these
is to listen to people and put them at ease
so their story unravels a comfortable pace
without interruptions all over the place
and in the Ryan household, I hope you do better
or Mrs. Ryan, you’ll find ‘ll be leaving a letter
to say that she’s running off with Pat Kenny
although cancel that line ‘cause although there are many
would disagree here, I think he’s worse
and finally to conclude this terrible verse
he’s hard to distinguish from replica, cardboard
‘arse of the year’, sure that’s Pat Kenny’s award

December 19th, 2007 @ 12:35 am
Damn right it wont big boy.
December 19th, 2007 @ 1:08 am
“And just before the deadline for Dickhead Of The Year passes Sean oneill makes a last ditch effort”
Twenty, what about a supplement or an appendix to the list??? Add this boy he has worked hard to get included …
Also re Gavin Lambe Murphy, I also googled this guy today when I saw his name mentioned here as I wasn’t really sure who he was. My Word what a complete Cunt, he can’t be added as that would imply he was somehow significant or something, a less talented Barry Egan, if such a thing is possible ???
December 19th, 2007 @ 2:17 am
Good start TM. But instead of John Delaney, Steve staunton himself should surely be there. That wanker sold his Credibility for 1,000,000 of irish soccer fans Euros (the fools) And dont forget justine Delaney wilson, but I had hoped that you had left her out just to annoy her!! And as for Mc savage, I actually followed your link, and got as far as about two minutes at which point I wanted to hunt him down…
Who is Tim O R, apart from being a wanker. Someone should tell him that Blogging is already Self-Regulated!
Good Post
It cheered me up.
Thanks.

Aw come on, I thought Sean’s wee ditty there was good, although I couldn’t quite make bore rhyme with for (hardly his fault that though, my accent’s a ripe ‘un). Much better than the McSavage bloke at any rate and he’s got a flamin’ telly show.
Considerign this is a post Xmas party comment that didn’t go as badly as it m ight.

Forget it Lafsword I wouldn’t fecking win that either knowing my luck.
Jaysus you didn’t think that fecking ditty was any good did ya?
Maybe it was because I was sober.
December 19th, 2007 @ 1:19 pm
Not Waving But Drowning
I apologise if I gave the impression that I meant you, I think Sean has made a special case for himself though as you yourself implied

Take a look at the new RTE Guide. A veritable assortment of suck dickheadness you’d think Twenty did the photoshoot. Namely:
Caroline Morahan: whose opnion of herself as some sort of new Zeta-Jones – more like Michael Douglas – is so wide of the mark it hurts.
Rachel Allen: moves like a Kraftwork dance routine or that robot in “them bines, them bones need calcium” ad and is proof positive that sexual relations with a member of the Allen family isn’t always a bad move.
That redhead from the Afternoon Show, one of the most cringeworthy waste of our licence fees ever.
…and there’s more there – isn’t RTE just full of D4-Tractor-driving, AA-Roadwatch-accented dickheads?? They clone them. How else could you get new presenters like the ones on their kids shows around 6pm? Enough to make you go back to the office.

December 23rd, 2007 @ 8:08 pm
Good work Twenty but how can you find twenty bigger cunts than fintan o’fucking tool, ruth diddy fucking edwards, geraldine “failed polititian” fucking kennedy and not to forget kevin fucking pissmyre, he is eamonn dumpty with a bigger dick tionary
If there was an Olympic competition for cunts there would be more irish people in China than Chinese.
Practically everyone in RTE would qualify for the heats. Pat kenny’s salary alone would pay a busload of Nurses
December 26th, 2007 @ 1:06 pm
Shocked & Stunned!
Where is Thomas Davis on the list. That shower are the biggest grouping of dick heads i’ve ever heard of…….
January 4th, 2008 @ 5:12 pm
Absolutely horrific (the Dave McSavage clip) and what’s fucking worse, RTE have so obviously added a laugh track since the original airing. Pathetic. Why is this man allowed to live?
Pat Kenny is actually THE worse chat show host ever. Christ.

“And I’m sure all of you can add something to that list.”
(i) You’re forgetting to mention that the Indo not only backed Bertie, they reversed (over the course of a Bertie’n'Biffo meeting with ‘Sir’ Heinz Beans) from:
DOES BERTIE EAT BABIES?
to
DOES BERTIE SHITE GOLD?
(slight artistic licence employed)
Cunts. And why, exactly, is Eoghan Harris not on the list?
(ii) I’d have thought that Phoenix would at least get an honourable mention. Are they still – without hard evidence, the most salient point – throwing heavy hints that you’re actually Delevan?
February 4th, 2008 @ 7:28 pm
I forgot all about the Phoenix actually. I think they more or less accept the fact I’m not Delevan but I’m not sure they’re convinced.
Eoghan Harris is a good shout too.

replica handbags is a great issue right now, i mean,most of the people really want a luxuary handbag but they cant really afford it,so there is an alternative for them and its a replica,those that can afford it im sure that they will buy the real one so i dont really think that it will ruin the big companies market.
