    Little do people realize that good story telling with poetic devices is an art form in of itself!

    I used to watch him on RTE just after it opened and just after we got our first TV. That was late fifties or early sixties I am sure. Hearing him again transports me right back more effectively and efficiently than any time machine ever could.

      I doubt if many get that "joke"...except the Irish...Brilliant........I remember a friend from Kerry saying to me once when I heard him tell me a tall tale about a friend of mine...and then I enquired who actually told him that story..."I'm only telling you what I heard and I only heard what I was told"....Always remember if you want to meet a fool in Kerry....you better bring him with you...

      yes, iv seen it before
      it's amazing just how close the Caribbean English accent is to Irish English
      but more specifically Southern Ireland, like in Cork, they sound indistinguishably Caribbean, many ppl think that caribbean english speakers sound like that because of the African, but the African influence in Caribbean English is minimal, there is a strong connection with Southern Ireland and British English
