I’d love to know the secret to Dara O’Briens eternal youth!
It’s because he’s looked like a 50 year-old man in his 20s.
having shared a house with dara in limerick, I can tell you it’s because he does headstands against the wall and his missis, mairead keeps the noise down by banging on the bedroom floor. he is also the only longhair I know who was willing to undo a u-bend in order to clear the furball from it.

I knew him a long long long time ago and concur that he is indeed that agreeable :)
Ray O’Brien’s shop, Music Zone in Douglas, is well worth checking out if you like your vinyl.
