The Season of Giving
Fans — By Stella on January 1, 2010 at 12:29 PMAs you know, the DVD of “In Treatment” was voted the number one viewer’s choice of 2009 on William Gallagher’s ever-popular podcast “UK DVD Review“.
In addition to being interviewed for this podcast, Byrneholics member Lozzie won the competition prize draw. She asked that the money that would have been spent on buying her a prize be donated instead to Breast Cancer Care UK, and she matched the sum in honor of Gabriel Byrne’s performance in “In Treatment”, in the name of Byrneholics Online.
This week, Lozzie received a letter from the Breast Cancer Care central office in London, thanking us.
It said, in part: “On behalf of Breast Cancer Care I would like to say a big thank you to Byrneholics.com for the sum that you donated towards our funds. Thank you so much for your support and please pass on our appreciation to everyone involved. Your gift is very important to us and we are able to offer our services only because of support such as yours.”
During this holiday season, when we all receive so much, it is wonderful that we give as well. Thanks, Lozzie, for arranging this support for such an important cause!
If you would like to make a donation to Breast Cancer Care UK, please visit their website at http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/

“New shoes” ???? What where?!?!? di I miss something??
Tell me plzz..
Divya, join the Byrneholics discussion boards and check out the “Official Gabriel Byrne Photograph Thread” for the whole set of these pictures. You’d be so welcome!
Lozzie, I’ve already tweeted you how wonderful the idea was to give the prize money to Breast Cancer Care. We also have to thank William Gallagher who made this podcast possible. And last but not least Gabriel, because of him this all happened. Wished he could notice that somehow.
I thought of registering for the forums on 23rd Dec but I am unable to get past the Confirmation code stage.
I tried 6 times atleast.
So I mailed Yan with the description of my problem and a snapshot. However, I guess she must have been busy during the holidays, so I m waiting for her response.
If any of u can suggest a workaround, I ll forward the mail wid all the details to any willing soul and be immensely grateful!!
CANT WAIT TO SEE THE PICS U MENTIONED LOZZIE!!!!!
@Divya when entering the registration code, please note it’s case UNsensitive, which means that if you see a code like RtX7oPQ you should enter it as rtx7opq , try again and see if it works! You’re are in for a treat, we’ll be waiting for you in the boards!
@Lozzie’s donation was GRAND! Very touching, noble gesture!
@twomoons luv those shiny brown shoes too, they look trendy and comfy at the same time.
@Lara. Thanks a lot!! You would be glad to know that I successfully registered for the Forums with the help of ur suggestion.
So far, whatever little I have seen of the thread, I ve been smiling to myself on reading the all ur humourous n entertaining comments on “The Official GB Photo Thread”.
So far I ve covered only 8 out of the 40 pages and Im frantically saving all pics I ve never seen before. CorFidele’s GQ pics were lovely. Im lookin forward to the “new shoes” pic
lol Divya, I know what you mean
but don’t save to much at a time, I made my computer crash twice, saving the article scans ^^
I ll surely try to remind myself of that, but I doubt my head will listen to any reasoning when all those goodies are up for grabs
