RIP Gaybo!

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

There's a story,  probably apocryphal,  about him being offered a job hosting a show in the States back in the 70s or 80s. They told him the name Gay Byrne might cause him a bit of hassle and asked him what his middle name was...

Mary!


Don't call us,  we'll call you...

Still laughing at this since yesterday

One of the funniest front page news headlines I ever saw was "Gaybo on drugs". Sadly it wasn't about him being hepped up on goofballs, but advocating the decriminalisation of cannabis. Roll it there Roisín!

Neither loved him nor hated him but as I am sure is the same with almost everyone else on here he was part of my youth with my mother and father watching the Late late every Friday.

As bad as it sounds these days it's an achievement for a big star like that to have made it through life without any dark secrets in their closet.

Last lad to rap there is Gerry Simpson from Drogheda. Once recorded a demo with him. Nice guy, cheesy as fuck. That tune is all sorts of mental

  I can't believe that didn't kill rape for good in this country.

Would be tough having your name being Gay. School would be hell.
