So it turns out that Ryan Tubridy was always annoying. Even as a child. Who knew? We thought that his annoyingness only really started after he became a regular fixture on our television screens and radio stations.

If you think Tubs is irritating now, amplify that by about a hundred and you can just imagine how frustrating he was as a child. In fact, child-Ryan was so annoying that he actually wrote to The Irish Times in 1986 to complain.

Yes, complain. Typical. Tubridy’s letter was kindly unleashed onto the world of Twitter by Sinead Egan, a radio producer at RTE.

The young Late Late Show host penned a strongly-worded letter to The Irish Times to complain about the absolute lack of films available in Dublin cinemas for children aged 12 and under. What an injustice! Surely it justified a waste of precious column inches in the paper?

Tubridy wrote that the only films in Dublin for kids aged 12 were The Goonies, Back to the Future and Rocky IV – can we just mention, that these are some of the greatest films of all time. The kid should gladly have gone to see Back to the Future eight times alone. What’s he doing complaining like?

Tubridy finishes his letter with the plea of “Will anyone do anything about it?”

We wonder if the cinemas of Ireland actually went out of their way to appease the 12 year old. Probably not. Although, if they had of given him what he wanted then, maybe he would never have gone on to become a journalist and end up on our television screens and radio stations.

If only we could go back in time and give him a copy of The Lion King or something…
