Ger asks:
Is this the first real shop in a soap?
Anyone?
No… they already have a Spar in Fair City so it is not the first.
No, there’s been a Spar there for years
No, there’s been Sparring on Fair City for years.
Great. There’s loads of murder weapons for sale in a hardware. Plenty of scope for future story lines.
Depends on how the sponsors feel about their merch being used for murders. Might not be pleased to see the yellow branding all over a crime scene.
Maclean Burke would be a great name for an actor.
Carrgistown, a place of spas and tools.
That’s bleeding deadly so it is
Good fix for the wobbly sets then.
Pity there’s nothing that can shore up the acting.
To what level has RTE stooped to for the last cent, to pay inflated
salaries and fees….what next, the news sponsered by Dennis O’Brien
Is this replacing the Spar sponsorship or are they taking advertising money from both companies?
here thats my name
There’s always room for another Johnjo
