A mate of mine was in the orchard inn, Letterkenny one night, we met Packie Bonner at the bar and he went up and offered to buy Packie a pint, when he handed him the pint he said to Packie "its not a football so I reckon ya won't drop this" Fair to say he wasn't Packies favourite person that night.Quote:

He stated that she still didnt speak to him for years afterwards because of the embarrassment he caused.
The story has ressurected because, coincidentally, He's launching a film in America about Hard drinking , foul mouthed Irishmen with hearts of gold, and it's a great icebreaker for the press release so the reporters from The Chicken Neck, Iowa gazette (who dont know nor care about his distinguished theatre career) can as him about his "confrontation" with James bond, with a background of being drunk, & the whole 800 years of opression thing.
(In Bruges is bloody good, mind you. As was Six Shooter.)

Does playing for Wexford Youths mean your famous? That's about as famous as it gets with my relations!

My dad was allegedly a distant cousin of Joe Dolan. I used to get a lot of questions asking was I related to Frank Stapleton (my surname). No such luck.
Hold on...does that make you related to the other Stapelton that supports Longford...Quote:
