The criterion was "celebrity", not "infamy" or "notoriety" :D

I'm beginning to suspect that Kamasan B940 pattern might not be a topic of conversation in the VIP section of Krystle?

Apologies, bit of an aside, but this article in today's Irish Times is very funny.

A considerable part of this lifelong interest must have flashed before Roche's eyes in Wicklow on Monday morning when he found himself staring down the barrel of gun.

His first thought would obviously have been: "How can I blame this on Declan Ganley?"

Now you mention it, the Irish Times and others used to have staff in the media fly fishing competition - Fergal Keane, etc. Don't know if they did a media sea fishing one 'though (though there are sea angling reports in the Irish Times, etc)

I don't know about sea fishing but I believe Liam Neeson is an avid fly fisherman, I could be mixing this one up but I think he may have even done a fishing program at some stage.
