In this day and age is this ordure any longer necessary, or even desireable?
Yes.
And nobody is forcing you to watch it.
Thanks jimmee, I won’t.
I work with women under 25 that can’t wait to watch it.
love that annual shot of Daithi the off-duty guard, being chased by all the roses. for the very last rose of tralee they should catch him and give him a right shoe’ing
What a weird little pageant.
Set up by a group of Tralee businessmen in a pub. *shudders*
I dunno, Sheik, but I believe it remains a rate card bonanza for RTE.
Cool, so after that ringing endorsement, who am I to cavil at it.
Who indeed? :) The show gives me the screaming abdabs.
Beef to the heel like a Mullingar heifer on the far right of the pic.
He’s actually a nice aul shkin is Daithi but he fairly plays up to his caricature
@ Neilo
Said the adonis hiimself….
Leave her alone, she’s only a young girl.
@Catherine – aye that was offside! Apologies.
it was mean .. but im totally taking ‘beef to the heel’
Should O’Sé be doing that at his age? He’ll hurt himself.
Love the rose of tralee so I do.
Funny piece by Patrick Freyne in the IT today.
Ha ha ha! This is still going? The head on that Daithi twit, my God
Why would it ever be cancelled?
I am holding a protest/ candle light vigil as this pageant is not inclusive for trans gender buffet capable lesbian constrained Sunnis.
Count me in!
Freyne’s piece in the IT was his usual smug and patronising stuff
Yep. When you see the posse he socializes with, you’d see that they’re all culture snobs who all have the same taste in everything. They all hang with each other, marry each other, retweet each other. It’s boring.
RoT is still rubbish though.
I know some of them – you’re right, total snobs in that circle jerk. Early/mid 90s TCD crew.
What time does the swimsuit section start?
Could someone ‘shop the House Bolton sigil behind ol Daithi there, pleeeeeeeese
must be due a transgender winner this year.
No matter where in the world that you roam
The Rose of Tralee will remind you of home
But this year flys in the face
It’s an absolute disgrace
That the girls aren’t allowed to say poems
