Sad sad day for the double entendres.
It’s a hard one to swallow alright
i could give you one, if it makes you feel better..
guess he’ll be spending Christmas watching Carry On films
They should get badatmemes to stand in. Could do a matinee and an evening show – and ply him with drink in between the two performances. I’d go and see that.
A night of stand up with John Leslie
If the screen grabs going around are genuine he’s a total sleaze
has bad at memes been sending you love notes AGAIN bertie?
There’s another one besides the bag of coke and a tonguing one?
“He’s behind you!”
“Arrgghhh”
Owen, you own me a new keyboard![1]

Starring the usual bluffers and blowhards plus a supporting cast of past and present members of Fine Fail.
Anyone unlucky enough to stand beside this boo boo
I don’t like Al Porter, I’m not victim blaming but this is one of best trial by social media this country has ever produced. Have yet to read anywhere any legal report or investigation.
You also have yet to read anywhere a denial by Al Porter of the claims. That should tell you all you need to know.
Not just an absence of denial. He’s effectively admitted it
Not only has he admitted it he’s then basically gone ahead and blamed anyone he did it to as not understanding him or his persona
Irish rising star Porter said: ‘I have been completely taken aback by reports in the media and on the social networks over the weekend, and by the scale and tone of the vitriol. While my conduct, which had been in keeping with my flamboyant and outrageous public persona may be regarded as offensive and unacceptable by many people, I at no time intended to upset anyone. ‘Up until now, I had been unaware of these complaints or the impact of my conduct and I am truly sorry for any distress I may have caused in what I had regarded as light-hearted and good-natured circumstances.
He cannot believe people are not happy about him assaulting someone with mental health problems. Mad, isn’t it?
“A replacement star will be announced shortly.”
Star’s a strong word
A debased currency, Fat Lad.
Panti….?
No thanks, just had one
The quote marks around The Funniest Family Panto in Ireland didn’t bode well either, did they?
Seems to me that Mr. Porter has been transferred (if this word is still PC) from the Olympia to the Crucible….your next witch please…
Donal Óg Cusack can write him a reference for his next job. I hear he’s big in the GAA community (ooh missus).
A couple of rugby Guuuys up north could also write a fair good reference.
What is this was about Sal Porter an OTT gamey young one?
