“If you knew what the people on the streets of Limerick were saying about ya”
The gift that keeps on giving!
The word “artistic” should have been the only word in quotation marks in that Tweet.
I’d say she’s hell to work with.
I’ve seen strong men go pale at the thought. The only person I’ve heard worse about in that field is Maureen Potter.
It’s Ronnie Drew I feel sorry for.
Oh no she hasn’t!
Apparantly She is hell to work with,a relative worked in a Theatre where she was doing a panto many years ago.. a nightmare,is the scenario that was described..
Christ! she’s taking the movember thing a bit far with that beard or is this some new hipster thing?
I can’t even…
She lost the rag at me years ago, I was working at DHL and I refused to send a package that she wanted to ship , she came in to send a package a) she wouldn’t let me security check it b) she was giving her name as ‘Twink’ and I wanted her to use a real name c) she was using a nearby hotel as her home address and d) she wouldn’t give me a phone number to use. When I went out back to ask a manager to come out and speak with her she had lifted the counter hatch and sat down at a computer and was checking the internet for an address..
I asked her to leave and then I refused to send the package and she had a melt down at me and used the famous line “do you know who I am?” etc.
Good times.
There is Mick’s next click-bait doodle right there!
Twink with a map of Britain and she demanding that it be published as a thing that looks like Ireland.
I reckon they’re now posting the stuff Mick couldn’t draw.
Thats a classic.
But Garthicus- her real name isn’t Twink?!?
This has shattered my innocence
Can confirm, an absolute nightmare to work with. Has an opinion on everything; be it lighting, sound, set design, production, you name it. In Twink’s mind everyone else doesn’t know their job while she knows it better. Had one of the production staff plagued at all hours of the night to the point where his missus thought he was having an affair as the phone kept ringing and he wouldn’t answer it
“contractual and artistic differences”
– the least effort ever made to create a euphemism. Bravo :)
I’ve never worked with her… but I can imagine the nightmares….
*clutches Pearl tightly*
…sometime later
*arranges Pearl’s funeral*
This is all a publicity fund; her and Linda Martin have formed the supergroup Twinda and are dropping their Christmas single, a cover of the Spice-Girls ‘Wannabe’ (she really really wants a zip-a-zip up your mickey) and this is just a way to get her name out there.
#twinda #christmasno1
In fairness though, I’ve seen her on O’Connell St roaring at someone, she does not look like a person you should cross.
Should rephrase:
…due to “contractual and artistic differences”!
To:
due to being ” Artistically Conflicted Under Negotiated Terms”!
I like it.
Look on the bright side I guess… they’ll easily find someone better, funnier, less hassle to work with and probably for less money too.
Everyone’s gonna be happy !
Brian ormonde?
Brian McFadden?
His sister
An inanimate carbon rod Brian McFadden’s sister dipped in glitter glue then forgot about for ten years leaving it in the bottom of her wardrobe?
She once undressed me with her eyes.
You can probably never wash off the cooties. I hope you burned your clothes.
;)
Heh. I love that loads of people have a Twink battleaxe story.
Usually when people are around as long as her, ‘national treasure’ gets thrown around. Conspicuous by its absence. Says a lot.
They’re going to struggle to fill a Late Late Show panel of polite enough people when she pops it.
Panto was announced on 3rd November……….how did they manage to suffer her for 11 whole days?
Two of the cast, spotted in King John’s Castle, try their best to hide their disappointment at the news of her departure: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B16k9pdIIAAeLnV.jpg:large
Haha!
I can see her with a pram full of rotten apples on Moore Street screeching at anyone who has the temerity to touch them. She missed her calling oh yes she did.
Actually no I take it back, all this slagging off of an older, working class woman, sits uncomfortably, it’s too easy, you’d have more positive comments on an article about Hitler than Twink. So maybe she’s a pain in the arse to work with, who knows, so are lots of people. Why does it matter? I’m never going to meet her, would have no interest talking to her if I did see her. I mean if people saw her in public and started following her down the street saying how terrible you think she is, you’d say it was harassment. You type that about someone you don’t know online an en-mass how is it any different?
If she was a powerful figure, worthy to be held to account that’s one thing, she probably has power in her own little circle sure, but this, she got let go from something, blah, blah what a bitch. Obviously someone must like her or she wouldn’t have a career to start with.
