DEAD OR ALIVE ?
ME AND A MATE WERE HAVING A DEBATE OVER THIS AND FIND IT PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT TO AGREE ON AN ANSWER
SUGGESTIONS SO FAR ARE :-
Michael Flatley
Michael O'Leary
Arthur ****ss
Terry Wogan
Tommy Peoples
Bob Geldoff
Nadine Coyle
Ronan Keating
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR NARROWING THE LIST DOWN FURTHER?

Not right but you would struggle to find many foriegners who have not heard about him in some regard. |

not sure many know that Bono is Irish, i met a bunch of yanks last summer...all ages..from 16 up to 50. U2 came on TV in the background, i said...ah Bono, one of our more famous exports. Not one of them (there was at least 10 of them) knew that he was actually Irish. They assumed he was American!
