becareful, your thread title shook me up a little! I thought I had won lotto or something or perhaps worse, had been excommunicated by quapi!

On the subject of other Paddys -

Paddy’s at the annual international horse breeders, owners & trainers convention.
He is sitting at the bar catching up with a number of old acquaintances.

Bruce a respected Australian breeder, shouts to the barman. "In 'Strailya?, we make the best ************ beer in the world, so pour me a Fosters,mate."

Rob a leading USA trainer calls out next. "In the States, we brew the finest beers of the world, and I’m having the
king of them all - give me a pint of Bud".

Hans a respected German trainer, steps up next "In Germany we invented beer. Give me a Weisen,The REAL King of beers."

Jan, a top racing executive from Holland, follows by stating that Grolsch is the ultimate beer and asks for one with two fingers of head on top.

Finally Paddy steps forward. "Barman, give me a coke with ice please".

The other 4 stare at him in stunned silence with amazement written all over their faces. Eventually Bruce asks, "Are you not going to have a Guinness, Paddy?”

Paddy replies - "Well, if you boyos aren't drinking, then neither am I!"
