Rose of Tralee

[ONeill]

Some of the comments on that youtube clip are rightly funny:

Scarlet Johansson for her Grandmother. I guess she really believed all those drunk people in Coppers telling her she was a deadly dancer.


Stay in school and don't do drugs kids.

Camera man is shit!!! couldnt see her shuffling!!

Some deadly stills from 29 secs to 35.

Searched the net there with no success. There was a Rose of Tralee winner about 10-15 years ago whose closing ceremony was ruined when her granny came on stage to give her a hug and got her glasses caught in yer woman's crown.The closing credits were a riot - they were trying to separate the granny from her head.

I rolled around the house laughing for the guts of a week.

I feckin knew I remembered something about a past winner bawling her eyes out and then getting something stuck in her tiara and continuing to weep and the hair getting wrecked trying to pull free!!

Said to someone last night about it but could barely remember it at the time!

What would you give to see that again? Can find any mention of it online.

I saw her doing the disco damcing. She looked like a mad yoke. The only bit of the show I saw it was a bit of a shock.

That was deadly! The face on her dancing was the best. Went from beauty queen to 'wearing a shellsuit and selling lighters outside croker' with that dance.

Follow O'Neill's advice. Pause bang on 0:30 til you see the head on her! Imagine a nice bite to eat with that, a few pints and then off for a wee dance where she turns into that. You'd either leg it or say what the hell, I'm heading north again tomorrow.

Good to see the GAA get a mention this year. When the Darwin Rose produced here Granda's AI medal, she cautioned Daithi not to run off with it as they were scarce in Kerry this year. He got his own back when someone from Ontario had Tyrone relations.

I thought Dathai was in bad aul form last night -  not incredibly nice to some of the girls!

Also missed out in a few where the Irishness came into it. 

Still very funny though.

The occupied 6 don't seem to be interested anymore. All about personality it seems...

Yes because there is a blatant North/South divide in terms of prettiness...

And the grass is greener down there...And the guinness better down there...And the Tayto crisps tastier (wait...that one is true actually  )...

Chicago Rose was fair lively. I'd say some escort will be rode rock solid by her tonight.
