Think you need to find another way to earn a living lad!

Someone did the boyfriend thing on the panel quite a while ago.

[AbieLaughs]

@eravulgachris Didn't know that. Any idea who? Or when?

Unfortunately overlaps like that happen in comedy all the time:

there are only so many ideas, metaphors etc.

Someone on Twitter had already thought of the Enda / Enya comparison.

However, I think (hope) if you pay close attention to the script, you'll see that I approached both ideas from an original angle. (Eg. if someone else used the exact same line about "Mary O'Rourke & the way she might look at you", then I'd take it down.)

@AbieLaughs Hey Abie, I think I was drunk posting this, it's slightly curt. Either way, I'm pretty sure it was the episode of The Panel with Eamon Gilmore on it from last year.

[ComelyMaidens]

I spit my beer during this.

[Nymphibious]

This is an excellent, excellent job.

Well done chief, that was excellent stuff. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Great political satire.
