a chance encounter between two of ireland<u+2019>s leading provocateurs and opinion-havers, eamon dunphy and george hook, has resulted in a stand off which now enters its 12th hour. 




bumping into each other as they both sought to post a letter, presumably of complaint, at their local postbox, dunphy and hook found themselves politely disagreeing on who is the more controversial figure. 




this polite exchange remained reasonable for just 2.46 seconds before both men began trading exaggerated claims and quips, in an effort to both convey they were the proud owners of the nation<u+2019>s most contrary opinions. 




<u+201c>no. no. no! you merely despise children<u+2019>s joyful faces when they eat ice-cream. i hate the little shits with every essence of my being. they<u+2019>re clumsy, careless, they<u+2019>re a cod, a fraud,<u+201d> dunphy barked at hook after the newstalk radio host and rugby pundit suggested children were just the worst. 




in a desperate bid to one up his contrary counterpart, hook<u+2019>s eyes frantically searched the street around him for something to give out about. 




<u+201c>cars, too noisy. roads! some have potholes. the sky, too bloody high for my liking. dunphy, i bloody hate that crevasse-faced tosser,<u+201d> hook bellowed as he commented on one thing after another, trying to cement his reputation as a controversial champion of ireland. 




the pair were then forcibly removed from the street by passers by who couldn<u+2019>t take much more of their droning, placing them in a room together, which has been rented especially for the broadcasters for the next month. 




with the stalemate continuing into its 12th hour both men are aware they could secure victory by mentioning how hitler made the trains run on time, but neither seem ready to share the opinion just yet.
eamon dunphy & george hook enter 12th hour of <u+2018>who<u+2019>s more controversial<u+2019> debate
