Proof that Gavan Friday is a knob
This clip is priceless. Gavan Friday poncing around Ballymun with a Canadian film crew, claiming that he and Bono are from there. Yes, they both grew up in Ballymun but not in the Towers as he implies. What a wanker, both he and Guggi have exhausted whatever careers they had, real or imagined, and now trade solely on their friendship with Bono.
Click on the clip and read the YouTube comments. All very true. I reckon he never thought anybody in Ireland would see it.
Check out the two women who shout ‘Here, are you Bono?’ ‘No I’m Gavan Friday, ever heard of me?’ and in unison ‘No’.
That says it all.
But he still gets a large amount of press. Last time I heard him he was explaining what an influence the Virgin Prunes are on contemporary bands! The Virgin Prunes, they had at least one goodish track but they were hardly a big band, well maybe in the Ballymun flats they were or in the fucking deluded mess which is his mind.
So both him and Guggi are getting a dissing in Shiznit 4. Here’s a preview:

There are few things in life more cringe-inducing than the “Gavmesiter” in full flow. Nothing but an empty trench coat.

JEEEEEEESUS……..
…….I think I saw a clip of Nobo saying something similar on a Luke Kelly tribute vid, that may have been a dream though. A free issue of Shiznit#4 for anyone that can find it.
Happy new year to everyone…….blah blah blah and an extra special
“FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKIN’ CUNTS” to Dublin Bus…….who decided to raise the price of tickets without telling anyone, it made my return to my shit job all the more plesent this morning.
“Do I look like Bono?”……………………..fuckin idiot.

Haha! It’s pretty amazing when you see someone on a screen and think, “Jaysus, Bono’s not such a prick after all.”
Simply outBonoed.

‘Growing up here made us tough.’ I’d like to see him and bono walking thru the mun back in the day. ‘Running through here made us reconsider the eye shadow’ more like.

‘The mun’, see I wouldn’t feel comfortable calling it that because I have no connection wth it. My good man Colm lived there as a REAL young knacker for years.
Yeah, Bono is number 2 now, at least that chap made something of his life. This Friday sap is nothing. ‘An empty trenchcoat’ as Fustar said.
Bus fare going up on the sly AGAIN!? Fuck I’ve no room on the recently finished Dublin Bus hate list to fit that in.

Ah the mun - the best built houses in Ireland with the pissiest lifts known to man. See they’re selling the big concrete walls off to czecheslovakia or somewhere? Thats why the demolitions are mad slow. Best memory of ballymun is being five years of age and escaping to the main road, climbing up onto the bus shelter and pissing off the top with people in it. Oh such heights!!

Ha! Great. The cunt lives in Dalkey though, so he must be doing OK for himself!

Nice find Brianer!
January 4th, 2007 at 11:32 am
nice one for that link Brian- theres loadsa cool pics there of ballymun. See Gavin Fridays real name - Fionan Hanvey!! You can see him now gettin of the bus in ballymun, cakkin himself, looking feverishly around until someone shows him the error of his ways ‘your not in glasnevin now boyo’ and boom! milk bottle (remember them) in the face, or maybe a jigsaw. Him crying avant garde punk tears, little five year old me snickering from on high, pissing on his half shaved prune head.

That is priceless! Man you couldn’t script that shit. Them two aulones, ‘No’!
There are a few more of him on youtube………

Typical Irish begrudgers, always so keen on slagging their own. Even if you haven’t seen the person’s work, listened to their albums, their film scores, or seen their shows. Narrowminded, insular shower of cunts.
That chip on your shoulder? So 20th century.
January 9th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
Nah Caroline, I begrudge Bono, I pity Gavin Friday. Regardless of whatever small artistic merit he has, that clip just shows him as a wanker
February 6th, 2007 at 3:14 pm
Bono is definetly from Glasnevin.

I really, really want to hit that bollox. What a tosser.

But she has no time at all for the rock star who made Ballymun notorious in song.
“Bono’s well publicised and, in my view, ignorant remark of how it was dangerous to walk in Ballymun at night did not help the area’s reputation one little bit, “ she says.
“Bono never lived in Ballymun. And yet website after website says that is where he hails from.”
“How can any one possibly confuse Ballymun with Glasnevin?”
She is also scathing about the song Running To Stand Still.
“Perhaps it gave him a sort of
street-cred
to associate himself with the estate he could see from his bedroom window in nice, safe, respectable Cedarwood Road in Glasnevin”
Lynn feels the song did enormous damage to the tenants’ morale.
“It doesn’t tkae a lot of imagination to picture an unemployed person, living alone in a flat in Ballymun, listening to that song and agreeing with what their hero was saying, “ she points out.
