We interrupt your evening's entertainment to bring you this urgent
message:
It seems there needs to be some clarification regarding my earlier
email (below). It has been brought to my attention that someone
thought my suggestion of having a whip round to pay for having Dan and
Chia, Face and Dangerous Dave come over to have fun with us was a
genuine suggestion.
I don't know about any of you guys, but I don't know enough people to
be able to come up with the cost of flying 3 people over from the
States and one from the UK, and even if I did, I don't think it would
ever occur to me to suggest it happen, all for one day of Paddarchy.
(Much as I would love, love, love those folks to be here!)
To clarify, for any who may think otherwise, IT WAS A JOKE, it was
meant humourously, Our little community is warm and generous but it is
still very limited in size, and wouldn't have the resources to cover
something like that. Well, maybe if we were collecting for medical
treatment for someone, but not just for the craic!!
I'm a bit stunned that even one person would have thought me serious,
but apologies to that person, and to any others who may have thought
the suggestion was on the level. I consider my knuckles well and truly
rapped and will take off my Jester's hat at once. And go sit in the
corner:-) Oh, that's a joke too, by the way.
Apologies for the interruption. Normal services will now resume.
