Yeah they would, as a joke, if they had a sense of humour.

You don't like him - we get it. But please wait til his does something worth complaining about.

I really don't see what your problem with him saying that is. I think it's great that I'm Irish cos I'm proud of my nationality, what the hell is wrong with that?

out of curiosity would you have a problem if one of the British HMs said, be nice to me I'm British?

Yes of course.

Why should you be nice to someone just because of their nationality? Why should anyone be proud of their nationality?

Dowling is smug and horrible.

This reminds me of when Ben was accused of being a Nazi sympathizer during BB11.

Really? Why shouldn't they be? I think it's nice to see people who love their country:conf:

LOL yes... Ben... a Jewish nazi sympathiser. Not many of those around.

I'm not Irish, but I laughed when Brian said what he did. He's funny, and a great exponent of the Irish humour. It's the accent... it lets you all get away with far too much! LOL...

You are missing the point. Why should anyone be nice to someone just because of their nationality or sexuality? If you want to be nice then be nice to everyone.

:hugesmile:

well I was replying to your quote asking "Why should anyone be proud of their nationality"

But no I'm not missing your point at all, that point has already been answered on numerous occasions throughout the thread, Clearly he was joking, he was talking to a chest of drawers after all! He also said at some point yesterday I can do this I did work for Ryanair, it's just his humour, i don't think he was implying that people who work for Ryanair were better than others either!:hugesmile:

Ok - if I started a post and it attracted strong aggresive responses (which some do) and I said 'please be nice to me cos I've got a headache' - it would only be said to lighten a situation - Of course Brian is Irish and it may be true that I have a headache - but I wouldn't expect forum members to be saying I dont care if you have a headache, why should it matter that you've got a headache, why should I be nice to you - it was never meant in a serious way, just a response to a situation.
It was a quip - it could have been anything - it just happened to be this - no big deal

If you'd had your 15mins of media fame and - were back working as cabin crew on a downmarket airline, you'd want people to be nice to you! :joker:

He's not back with ryanair!

He doesn't need to be - one of the few HM's where the clock is still running on his 15 minutes - his Ryanair days are well and truly in the past

yes indeed, hopefully UBB will get him some more TV work, I love having him on my screen!

and apparantly so does Kylie!!

The Tree of Temptation suggested his media days were in the past - and Brian didn't like that! :D

He is charmless & irritating & smug. Go away Dowling!

Also, he's lost that touch of cuteness - that's probably one of the reasons TV are not interested in him any more. Just a fat queen now.

How he used to be:

Taking a joke fail.

well, that's your opinion, thankfully most people don't share it:hugesmile:

Yes, he is smug and nauseating but that doesn't make him a bigot. Your previous post however was both dumb and bigoted.

No it wasn't.:wavey:

Referring to the claudy bomb, the priest and brian dowling as though they are all related says alot about how your mind works.

Shouldn't you be in school?

Some people are bloody thick...

Look, the guy is funny.......but he gets away with stuff.....and u get the feeling he would sacrifice ANYONE to get what he wants.....
