Brock gets in touch to say, “Just when I began to despair for the youth of today, after watching Lorcan from Dundalk, I think I’ve found a new hero”.
And here is that hero. An Australian kid whose party got so out of control, his parents face a fine of €20,000 when they get home from holiday. His name is Corey, and he has confidence. He also has “famous glasses”.
Grandad - I’m wondering at what point in his life he’ll look back at this and realise we was a little twit. I give him 10 years.
Comment by ShaneI dont do violence…but I would gladly take that young chap outside and stick his ‘famous glasses’ up his rectum.
How is the world producing such creatures as this chap and Lorcan?
And Shane, I have an idea that this chap will never realise he’s a twat…I presume he’s got paid for that interview, and I assume thats not the last he’s heard about it.
God Im getting angry now!
On a completely unrelated note Shane, can you answer me phonetically how to pronounce the Cryptic Irish Times Crossword - CROSAIRE…Is it Cross-air or the Irish Crus-a-ra…
It would help solve a bet!
Comment by Daddy DecDaddy Dec - In answer to the oddest question I’ll be asked this week, I’ve always thought it was Cross-air, and never heard it pronounced any other way in the IT offices. Does that mean you win or lose the bet?
Comment by ShaneI’ve got plenty more of those questions Shane, if you think thats odd…
I always assumed that it was Cross-air, but a neighbour told me that the Irish for ‘Crossword’ is ‘Crosaire’, pronounced Crus-a-ra…
I can safely say up to the point that they said it to me, I never gave it any thought. Now anytime I’m doing the crossword (Simplex I’m afraid), the word Crosaire is staring at me, taunting me as to how its pronounced!
Driving me mental…Can I assume that as a esteemed employee of IT, ‘Cross-air’ is the definitive answer?
Comment by Daddy DecNo, that’s definitive. I’ll have to go to the source to find out. By the way, how much is riding on this?
Comment by ShaneThe bet was made on New Years Eve Shane, and it was with blind alcohol behind me, the bet was decided at €150.00!
This blog posting will be printed and stapled to his front door (If I’m right!)…Howdee John - Pay Up!
Comment by Daddy DecACA. Never heard of that channel before.
Comment by John ShelbyJohn - I think it’s A Current Affair, a programme on Australian TV. If you have suspicions that it’s a hoax, so did I. But it’s not. Just check Google News.
Comment by ShaneWow, it is real. I’m gonna get me a piar of them glasses.
Comment by John ShelbyI don’t know who’s bigger sap, the kid or the anchor for getting worked up over the glasses. I think I’m on the kid’s side becasue he’s obviously totally awesome.
Comment by IanIn fairness the news lady was a bigger pain in the arse than the young lad.
Comment by Twenty MajorIan / Twenty - She treats him as if she was nagging teacher. Take your glasses off, stand up straight, sort of thing. But if he was your son, or living on your street, or a representative of your nation, you’d surely find him more annoying.
Comment by ShaneFar be it from me to sound like a complete auld one, but where the hell were his parents?
Its one thing, that he thrashed the house and did whatever else, but to allow him out and to address the nation dressed in that garb and with that attitude, I’m thinking that’s where this guys issues starts.
Also, after the normal police have chatted with him, I’m sure he could have a case to answer with the fashion police. Or then again, going by your current post Shane, maybe I’m hopelessly out of touch!
Comment by Daddy DecThis is getting curiouser and curiouser…

Absolutely, but as he’s not I can focus my ire on the news lady. She should marry John Waters.
Comment by Twenty MajorTwenty - The thing is, the more I watch it the more I appreciate his dedication to living life as if it was a Porkies movie. But I’d still prefer to appreciate it from afar.
Comment by ShaneYou’ve seen the video, you’ve wished you were at the party.
Now wear the T-Shirt http://www.bustedtees.com/shirt/sunglasses/male
Comment by IanI think the lad doesn’t deserve the bad press he’s getting. A teenager who sticks to his guns. Fair play to him!

I think if I were that little gentleman’s father, I too would go on holiday…. change my name, and never come back.
Such a nice boy!
