    EO, I must say you do crack me up. But maybe it just hits a nerve with the silly side of my humour.

    No I don't know, but I know loads of paddies (imported to build spaghetti juntion and stayed) and will make a point of asking them.

      I've no idea, and I not Irish, so I don't know.

      Funnily enough, I'd had a song lyric going round my head all day today, and I cannot thing of the song or artiste.

      Lead : And a Hi Di Hi Di Hi
      Choir : (And a Hi Di Hi Di Di)
      Lead : And a Hi Di Hi Di Ho
      Choir : (And a Hi Di Hi Di Ho)

      And no, it's not the TV Hi Di Hi show.
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              Sounds like something a folk group might sing.
