Siobhan Doyle

Siobhan DoyleFado fado in Erin.....
           
On one cold, wet and windy night my life was forever changed when my darling other half informed me I was to join him for a week of fun and mayhem in a window in Galway’s fair city!

But let’s rewind for a moment and view the stats of my life to date...


NAME: Siobhan Mary Doyle
AGE: 27 (never ask a lady that!)
ORIGIN: Athlone
SCHOOL ED: yes!!
HOBBIES: Boring bit that no-one cares about
DISLIKES: Watch until Friday, I’m sure the powers that lie in this game will reveal my dislikes in horrible ways!
LIKES: Ponies and stickers and puppies and myspace.com.......Oh and €30 grand in prizes!
Wow it all seems rather dull when you put your like on paper!
           

Just to beef it out a bit, I have seen far away lands, worked in a spa, have one wonderful sister and really love ponies
           

Well that’s me, thanks for taking the time to read my C.V.!!

 

 

Alan Murphy

Alan MurphyMy name is Alan Murphy or ‘Alan William Murphy’ when I’m in trouble with Siobhan! I’m originally from Kildare but I’m living in Athlone for the past nine years.......and for eight and half of those years I’ve been going out with Siobhan.

I’m pretty sure my madness stems from going to boarding school (because my parents loved me, just not enough!!!). I realised my love for the practical joke with such light-hearted pranks such as eggs under the pillow and colouring behind the ear with permanent black marker in first year. From this I graduated to the bigger, funnier jokes such as taking all the doors off the classrooms and hiding them!
When I decided to leave....ah hem (Got expelled!) boarding school to do 6th year in Athlone it was the best decision of my life, seriously my decision!! Because I wouldn’t have met Siobhan otherwise.

This stemmed eight great years of ups and downs and growing up together, fighting and more importantly making up!

Somehow just when I think I’m growing up and calming down I find myself running down Shop Street in Galway in a donkey face mask thong that I bought especially for the occasion; now the third in m y collection, adding to my x-mas man thong and my leopard print man thong.
I have to ask myself, as I stand in a shop window in the middle of Galway with a black rubber willy shaking it at passers-by, how did I get here....?

Then I laugh and say ‘Feck it!’ who cares, I’m having the craic and that’s all that matters.

Evan

Evan HenaghanWhen Evan’s mother held her crying newborn in her hand little did she know the seismic shift that had just taken place in the eons old war between gravity and his brother levity. From very early on the signs were there that he liked sausages, even if the inexperienced yet loving young mother chose to ignore them.
On occasion she would enter his room to find Evan crawling along the walls or even the roof laughing gleefully unaware of the basic forces of this stubborn world that hold most of us in place.

To understand the origin of this story we must very briefly digress to a night quiet unlike any other night. Some eight and a half months previously the act of conception led to this unique individual’s life being made possible.

On the night of his21st birthday Evan was visited by the architect of his predicament, LEVITY. Appearing as an old man with an upside down face, levity sat with Evan, explaining the war that had been waged with his brother gravity.

A stunned Evan sat in silence as levity explained that an agent of time, code-named Jessica, had built a lever that could reverse gravity’s hold on the world and realise mankind and all its kin from his shackles. This lever had been placed in a building in the centre of Galway. A building once commandeered by i102104, forced to pose as a loving couple, together the infiltrated the good hearted station’s latest competition Indecent Proposal where they would undergo a serious of impossible tasks, deemed humiliating by mere mortals.                        

Jessica Sharkey

Jessica SharkeyJessica was conceived 9 months before her birth which took place on the 6th of January 1987, a magical day some might say. Evert year since that day Jessica has celebrated her birthday, the best day of the year. Jessica is 5 foot nine inches, she has brown hair and sparkling blue/grey eyes. Her older sister is just about 9 months older but her business would lead some to believe she was much older.

Jessica has moved house many times, she is like a wandering star, just looking for a place to fall. When Jessica started school she would cry every day until she would go home again. She would hide in the mornings so her mum would be late but eventually she grew to like learning some night say she was the cleverest girl in the whole world...maybe even the universe. Jessica was told she didn’t see the world like other people.

She didn’t quite get what was happening around her but she was the most cleverest, brightest, most beautifulest person in the world so they allowed it. When Jessica went to college she studied languages so she could share her cleverness all around the world. She once jumped out of a second storey window to escape a scary drug man but that’s another story.
Since graduating Jessica our wandering star has continued her search that has taken her as far as Spain, America and the i102104 shop window, all the time searching, hunting for that place in which she belongs.

When Jessica reaches the age of 75 she will eventually travel to outer space and find her spot among the stars but until then some might say her destiny is to float between the galaxies, inter-galactically challenged.
