Fairly representative of the 'money don't suit us' vibe I got generally when back in Emerald Tiger Dublin. sommelier is the word/profession Jim - though I can’t see any earthly reason to use the word outside France - especially for someone in a monkey suit in Dublin foisting off the overpriced vinegar that gets passed off on the poor Irish.

Overpaid for what he did. I doubt there was a charitable bone in his body.Another vulgar type a la Jeremy Clarkson. I don't count buying a round and patronising people in the pub. I accidentally tuned in to him where he was advising people to develope a relationship with the wine waiter (sommilier?), what pretencious crap. I have heard nothing of him doing charity work. I hope the next government puts a cap on public sector pay and there is no exception for those on so called contracts. This elite of builders, speculators, politicians and media types genuinely makes me so angry. My general impression is that he was the most brash of the so-called celtic tigers.

However, those who know this, and then sing his praises while denigrating other drug users are indeed hypocrites.
