    Oh God. I know who’ll love this… ;-)

    Is there such a thing as a three-quarter life crisis?

    No better man to act as Sheriff on the anglo board only next time, he should leave the Sheriff badge on when making public appearances.

    Put up your Dukes,….

    Deputy Dukes,….

    And I’m not mocking, just going for the cheap shots!
    He’s fab, I loves him.

    Always liked him
    but this was way too weird, expected him to pull out a mandolin at some stage.

    Ah bless…at the very least, fair play to him for giving us a bit of a laugh – wardrobe malfunction :)

    This was just surreal. Though he has previous form…I seem to remember him appearing in a red leather jacket at one stage, and then there was the infamous fringey haircut….

    I used to have one just like it.. Maybe I’ll dig it out as clearly its en vogue again.

    All he needs is a light sabre.

    In green, cos he’s an Irish jedi.

    He looks the spit of the Bishop who became a hippy in the Father Ted episode “Tentacles of Doom.”

    He’s on the board of a bank? He looks like he just came off the mountain after rounding up the goats to make some cheese.

    It can’t be? Can it?

    Is he wearing a ‘grandfather’ shirt too?

  • who'dhavethought // Mar 1, 2009 at 11:37

    What a wally!
    How could he expect to have any credibility?
    He should have worn a business suit and tie.
    Could he not take example from Sean Fitzpatrick, David Drumm, Brian Goggin, Fingleton, Fred Goodwin. They’re so credible. Where are they now when we need them?

    Seriously, Mamanpoulet, do you put form over substance?
    And as for the mountain man jibe. Smart but not clever.

    Someone told me of this. I didn’t believe them… The leather waistcoat is true. Inexplicable but true
