We have very bright and bushy-tailed marketing people, I have to say. Certainly in Japan they have captured the market that ‘drinking Irish whiskey is cool’, whereas even Scotch is something got to do with past generations.
Richard Bruton TD instantly making whiskey uncool at the announcement of a massive expansion of Irish Distillers’ bottling operation in Clondalkin. The development will create 30 new jobs, so that’s 30 more things for me to apply for and not get. Yay.

I remember producing music for one Lithuanian musician, who tried to wash my brain that I don’t need to be so conservative and intolerant about them. When I asked him ‘what would you do if you realised that your 16-year-old son’s browny (anus) is ripped by his boyfriend?’ Well he was silent. (In) the good 90s … these people of different breed where fixed.
One of my first gigs in Ireland, on my way to [my] hotel I saw a church with a fence decorated with hundreds of baby shoes. Naturally I wondered why? Unfortunately a priest’s lie for many years was uncovered when children were massively raped. Unfortunately the people of other breed continue to do it and everyone knows it but does nothing.
Lithuanian producer Ten Walls, whose real name is Marijus Adomaitis, referring to those in the LGBTI community as people of a “different breed” and comparing homosexuality to child abuse.
Ten Walls scored a top 10 hit in the UK with Walking with Elephants in 2014. He has since deleted the posts from his personal Facebook page, but his comments were picked up and circulated by publications including Gay Star News.

It’s good to be open. It’s good to be real.
Celebrity chef Dylan McGrath, talking about his ’emotional’ appearance on The Saturday Night Show, in which he talked about his mother and cried rather a lot. My dad saw it: ‘There was this fella on Brendan O’Connor’s show, well he was all over the place and crying the whole time, I think he had special needs or something.’ I pointed out that he was a famous chef, to which my dad said ‘but lots of chefs have special needs’. Awky momo, as I used to be a chef. Thanks dad. Anyway, Dylan admitted that he was basically somewhat overcooked on painkillers; he was dosed up on the anti- inflammatory Difene and the painkiller Tramadol. He says he took “two or three” before going live on Brendan O’Connor’s final show.
