I just happen to turn over to this programme on rte 1 the tudder night and was surprised how woeful the acting is in the this dung they call a soap.But i will say there are some good characters in it,my favourite being Dermot who seems to keep falling flat on his arse,first the wife leaves him and then some joker called keeeeeeeeeeeeet in the garage tries to flog him a clapped out nissan but dermot is not having it.

He is hilarious! He's all hands or something! How is that man an actor! He is just pure comedy to be watching him!

There's stiff competition for the worst actor award amongst the child actors in it though. The Dillon's son, what ever his name is, is just woeful. I don't even know what to say about that Cas fella. I tune in purely for the comedy of how bad it is the odd time but I'd be annoyed into turned over quickly enough.

The 2 best things about that programme are the end credits and that split second reaction you have to change channel if you happen to stumble across it.

One is humbled, one has to confess, by the hight standards you and your fellow keyboard warriors aspire to for all of us, both humble actors and even humbler audience members.

You're probably confused because Eamonn Morrissey is in actual fact a class actor.

If you dont belive me, ask de brudder.

Otherwise stick with the pint of plain. It's your only man.

Christy has had a fairly eventful time since he last ran the corner shop with his wife.
For the record i occasionally check it out while i'm giving the smallest one a bottle and i find it fantastically entertaining, usually for reasons other than what the producers intended though

I've looked in maybe once or twice during the past five or six years, whenever there's been a murder, or kidnapping, or something eventful like that, but they've probably all changed partners since I've last watched

Poor Harry, Delores has been playing the merry widow for far too long, the latest fella was a priest in Glenroe i think, not Fr Deveraux, maybe the vicar now that i think about it.

Would ye stop! Fair Chity is, without exception, the worst programme that had ever been conceived by man or beast! Herself has it on from time to time so unfortunately my exposure to the god forsaken s**t is regular. Awful acting, awful story lines and worse scripts. Worst thing is if your one of those that pay their TV licence, that's what it's being used for. Still think it's a bit of craic?

It's better than Eastenders or Coronation Street. Although, that wouldn't be hard.

Don't you just love the old "I wouldn't watch it only that the mrs has it on every night" brigade. The same people who don't normally watch The Late Late show but they have a match the following day so that's the only reason they saw it......

Just a suggestion lads. If the mrs has it on and you have only the one tele, leave the room and go read a book

Or turn her over and give her a good seeing to. Better than any book
