RTE - THe Late Late Show: Brendan Gleeson - A Pint Of Plain is Your Only Man (with his son Fergus on guitar)

 Having just finished watching the brilliant Mr Mercedes [Netflix] starring Brendan Gleeson this seemed appropriate!

Birthdays contd. | KAT DENNINGS

       I have got to the age where I take great delight in the lives of others and youngsters getting married fills me with joy like the wonderful Zendaya Coleman and her brilliant beau Tom Holland ( I found it fascinating that both should use the term “safety” when discussing the fact they had got wed! - sign of the times but somehow touching also.) 

       I was overjoyed too discovering the breathtaking young woman musician artist Dua Lipa marrying a favourite actor of mine Callum Turner who I have watched his career unfold from the earliest TV days and long before I knew who his wife was!

       I note also it is the hilarious comedy actor and personal favourite Kat Dennings whose wedding to her rockstar beau we noted when it happened but I am stunned to discover she has turned 40!?! Wan't it just a moment ago she appeared on our screens in the classic comedy 40 year Old Virgin ( I make no comment here!!!?!!!) with the legendary Steve Carell as his teenage daughter!?!


Happy Birthday anyway Kat keep us in stitches wherever you are gorgeous ‘girl’!

[P.S. I am allowed to call her girl now I am officially a grumpy ole git!]



err......well not a LOT like Slash!?!?

even less like Slash TBF!!
Capelet’s Rool!

Frankly the make up is fine but you’d look fine without it!
