Those who need to have a sit down with their ego. Please deflate it here

by Aphrodite, April 29th, 2010 in Celebrity Watch, Rate it |

So you wanna pretend that you’re a superstar eh? The Saturdays are trying so hard to be generic girlband superstars aren’t they? A low rent version of Girls Aloud they’ve studied their competition in minute detail and are shamelessly copying EVERY SINGLE THING about them.

  • Five girls in slutty stage costumes which ironically attracts a huge pre teen audience. Check
  • The pretty Irish one. Check
  • The Short Haired Wild one. Check
  • Other Ones That No One Can Remember but will soon infiltrate our consiousness by the attendance of each and every event ever and getting into Heat on a weekly basis. Check
  • Incredibly similar muzack. But not as good. Girls Aloud have the most brilliant pop songs. Sound check.

Copycats are so lame aren’t they?

But anyway in defence of The (copycat) Saturdays it’s true that “you need to have a sit down with your ego” is a fantastic line. I’ve found myself using it quite a bit lately when people are making me boil with rage. Some examples:

  • Maura Geoghan Quinn. Anyone who is still refusing to relinquish their taxpayer funded pension while actually being paid a salary at the same time. Listen ministers who the frick do you think you are? You need those arrogant egos deflated – you are so not worth it.
  • Anyone who annoys me by being up themselves I caustically put down silently, by thinking “ah here you need to have a sit down with your ego”. It makes me feel much better
  • The taxi driver who (uninvited natch) told me all about his five bedroom house in the city centre with large back garden, wife’s new Mercedes, villa in Spain and yet was planning to block O’Connell St yet again over the amount of furriners driving cabs who’re taking bread from his mouth. Listen mate, I don’t give a crap, looks like you’re doing pretty good to me. But thinking “Sit down? Ego? HELLO” deflated any tension I felt.

Who do you think needs to have a sit down with their ego? Micheal O’Leary obviously. The Icelandic volcano. All of the bankers who caused the crash by thinking they were Masters of the Universe. Most Alpha Males actually.

So go on – let it out! Who needs to have a massive talking to with their massive ego?

    I have a very funny story about a certain red haired ‘ego’ which happened when I was out in a certain City Centre’s members club a couple of years ago. I’m not sure if you guys would be held for liable if I relayed it though.

  • le smurf says:

    Zinne – - Do NOT say it’s the lovely Hector!

  • Lisa says:

    Zinnie, please try and tell us, it can only be libel if its untrue.

  • Zinnie says:

    le smurf
    No it was ‘The Ego’ who has been mentioned a few times already. Sure you couldn’t say anything about Hector that he wouldn’t say himself!

  • Aphrodite says:

    Zinnie – go on sure we’ll whip it down if it looks dodge

  • le smurf says:

    Oh that’s ok then…. That other lad is a complete bell end… Hanging out with “models” and calling them his friends, puh lease! The hack of him!

  • Zinnie says:

    Okaay then..
    I witnessed a very drunken ‘ego’ and his very drunken girlfriend (who was slobbering all over my friend) get into an argument (his girlfriend refers to him as Ego by the way) anyway she proceeded to throw her Cosmo in his face and she then followed this with a right hook to the jaw. He was so drunk he fell over and hit his head off the side of our table! He lay there unconscious for a while and just as we rang for an ambulance he came to and staggered out of the venue. Oh we did laugh for a long time after that one.. Klasssy..

  • Lisa says:

    Wonderful behaviour.. Jesus, he must be bad if his girlfriend even calls him ego

  • le smurf says:

    GIRLFRIEND????? Yowzers…. I obviously didnt think he liked girls……

    That’s hilarious, if a little bit sad!

  • Zinnie says:

    Lisa in all honestly I think she considered that a term of endearment!

  • Di says:

    Oh Lorraine Keane! I second, third and fourth that one!
    All AA Roadwatch bulletin readers.
    Seoige sisters….

  • daiseeboo says:

    Jackie Lavin
    Gerry Ryan
    Derek Mooney -not quite sure he has ego issues but he certainly needs to sit down and have a good chat with himself or someone else does

  • Lisa says:

    Bertie

  • Lisa says:

    Marcus Permatan Sweeney
    Rachel Kavanagh Off Fair City and of Rockstar Tan

  • BerG says:

    Hermonie:- Rachel Allen, comments cracking me up here.

  • BerG says:

    Zinnie: That was a good nights entertainment.

  • Lisa says:

    BerG – The whole bloody Allen family!!

  • BerG says:

    Just thought of another, how could i forget Mr. plastic fantastic himself, Michael Flatley, and his american irish accent, begorra begosh.

  • baby in a corner says:

    Rachel Allen – I actually cannot believe that accent is real!

    I wrote under the laura mercier post by accident – people who boast to you about being on the dole and how great it is or scamming social welfare! (not talking about people who would love to work and cannot get a job)

    Also – Paul Williams (I think thats the right name) and his ‘scary’ ads with him standing in a prison cell, spouting on about Irish criminals and what he’s doing to expose the masterminds!

  • Lynnie says:

    Ha, brilliant post!

    Was in the same situation as Empress last year at Oxegen looking to get out of the teeming rain & only tent we could get into was where The Saturdays were on… went back out after half a song. Getting soaked to the skin was definitely the lesser of two evils there, they were wojus.

  • Babaduck says:

    Zinnie – is this ego a ginge with manky shoulder length hair who writes drivel??

  • PurpleHaze says:

    i think Katy Perry is deffo one to have a sit down with her ego!

  • BerG says:

    Purplehaze: Don’t forget that long haired lover of hers as well.

  • Beauty Junkie says:

    Was thinking how could we forget Russell Brand!
    Think the following could sit down with their ego’s too:
    Paris Hilton,
    Hugh Grant – since seeing him on being interviewed on FNWJR
    That judge – Jason from Dancing on ice

  • Anneml says:

    Wow I’m late to the party and all the good nominees are gone!
    Ok here goes:
    Most politicians of every party or nationality!
    Anyone who considers themselves a celebrity after getting one photo in a tabloid.
    Jedward – advancing the cause of dumbing down the nation
    Crystal Swing – the horror, the horror
    The three-headed monster that is Branganiston and the fact that a photo of anyone of them is supposed to sell magazines.
    The sickly-sweet simper of Cheryl Cole

    Glad someone else has noticed that the sainted “SamCam” has bad hair!

  • FrogPrincess says:

    Ye have me pissing myself here girls! Just back after a night out and it’s all emus, Barry Egan and Keane’s tangoed missus (& her ‘best friend’- mother-hybrid monster)… best posts i’ve read in ages…tee hee

  • daiseeboo says:

    Beauty Junkie – can’t believe I left out your man Jason.

    Also, the entire Osbourne family with the exception of the daughter who had the good decency to stay out of the public eye

    Russell Crowe, ok Russ put down the phone I’m entitled to my opinion

    Basher Campell – nuff said there I think

    Martin King – cos his sleeves are always too long and no one could be that happy and proud to be reading the weather and doing ‘shout outs’ at his age, the hack of him

    Richard Hammond – since he now believes he is invincible he is unbelievably smug and cocky, and go get a haircut while your at it

    It would seem sleep deprivation is bringing out a lot of anger in me, I apologise. :oops:

  • Seal says:

    Gals & Guys, I’m having an insanely hard time finding out what age daithi o’shea is……settle a bet please! what age is he?!
