In 2016, I was invited to have a conversation with
Gerry Kelly on LMFM Radio about my book 'Gullible Travels'. Nigel & Cormac Talbot, the brothers who raped me during my child & teenage years, complained. Gerry Kelly read a scurrilous apology for broadcasting the truth. I took legal action.

I once asked Catherine Connolly why she was walking so fast. She said that for as far back as she can remember, she’s always been Russian.

Catherine Connolly buys all her clothes in Brown Thomas but puts them in a Penneys bag before she leaves so she doesn’t get caught around town being a poshie

I was mopping the floor and Catherine Connelly had to walk over it and DIDN'T do a weird tippy tappy walk to show she didn't want to be doing it.

Catherine Connolly laughed so hard at an episode of Mrs Brown's Boys that she had to rewind it a few minutes "because she missed the next few jokes from laughing so hard".

AND it was one of the later episodes.
