Ah, Oliver Callan: the poor man’s Jon Culshaw, if Culshaw were an untalented SF stooge. John Moynes would be much better value!
should be good
Oliver Callan is the absolute pits.
It’s not often I find myself in agreement with Paul Galvin but, yes.
Yup, but he’s now on the RTE team, which means they’ll keep making programs for him no matter what until one of you dies.
That photo of John Moynes is actually in colour.
if it was animated, he’d be a young Albus Dumbledore….
It’s giving me flashbacks to the footage of the hunger strikers in the early 80’s.
Needs more ‘brownface’ #WeWillNeverForgetYouBillySands
Sorry, I know you’re a self confessed West Brit but that’s a bridge too far for me Ted.
The ‘RA and their fellow travellers are happy enough to dish it out – they can get some back from me, too.
I thought it was Martin Starr’s dad.
Or the brother ZZ Top keep in the attic.
Ooh. Almost an occasion to break out the one ZZ Top fact I (and everyone) know(s).
The guy with the surname Beard is relatively clean-shaven apart from a big ol’ stosh.
The most famous beard since Nicole Kidman?
Heh! Listen, Bertie, I hope we’re square: sometimes my desire to clobber a particular ‘tradition’ causes the red mist to descend something fierce!
Always dear, you don’t get rid of me that easily.
*fist bump*
…Callan’s kicks has to be the best thing since Scrap Saturday…and if Moynes had anything to do with the recent Pascal Donohue as Forrest Gump sketch I take back all the awful things I almost said about him…
Callan is as funny as cancer.
