Top of the morning to ya; do the Irish really say that? Happy St. Patrick’s Day where ever you are in the Nobs world and especially to all of our Irish friends. The 17th of March is a great day in Nobs lore. It was on this day in 2000 that the Emperor for Life Mel Crossfield led the troops into battle with the Prince of Wales Club in Santiago Chile. The Nobs have skirmished with the Americans on this day in Savannah Georgia and of course the legendary opening games against the Irish to kick off the season. This Sunday we will be having our Saint Paddy’s day touch run, on the artificial turf in Burlington. I can hear the old timers scoffing right now. “Back in my day we played real rugby, whatever the weather and what ever the field conditions.” Times have changed and now pitches aren’t available till May. If the luck of the Irish is with us you may get a chance to run with the legendary Irishman; Mike Moroney, a man who refers to me as Da Tug! Hopefully he will be over the Welsh fiasco. Big night in the Centaurs clubhouse tonight. Get your green on and get your self down to the club. Ok, a couple Irish jokes to round this up.
Young Fiona Fogarty is pregnant with twins. A month before her scheduled delivery date her water breaks and she is rushed to hospital. As she is rolled into the delivery room she passes out. When she awakes she sees that she is no longer pregnant. She spots a doctor in the room and asks him, what happened to my babies? The doctor says they are fine: you had a girl and boy, but there was a problem. Concerned, she asks what happened. The doctor says, when they were first born, they were very sickly and we were worried that they wouldn’t live and we wanted them named so we could have them baptized and given their last rights so we called in your brother Dermot to do it. “DERMOT” she shouted; he’s as thick as a brick and that is when he’s sober, which isn’t often. So what did he name them she said? The doctor responded, well the girl he called Denise. Not bad she thought; Denise Fogarty has a nice ring to it. What did he call the boy? Da Nephew replied the doctor… Bet you saw that coming. What do they call a fake diamond in Ireland? A sham rock!! We’ve got so many more but our time is up, see ya tonight in Burlington, Da Tug
