177.0. "Rocky V and More Porter." by GAOV07::MHUGHES (I got a mean wriggle) Wed Apr 15 1987 10:44

    The Lecherous Leaprechaun is going to take a coffee-break, he deserves it.
    
    Below is a newspaper report from the national daily "The Irish
    Independent" for Wednesday 25th of April 1987.
    
    Headline : Rocky Fan had barrel of Porter.
    
    A Galway man watching Rocky V had a bucket of Guinness in his kitchen
    when Gardai (Police) raided his flat. They also found a half barrel
    of Guinness in Peter McDonagh's bedroom at Rahoon Park, Galway,
    the court was told.
        McDonagh (41) pleaded not guilty to receiving (stolen goods),
    the video recorder (VCR) beleived to have been stolen from the language
    laboratory of University College Galway, last October. He was fined
    300 pounds ($450).
       Garda Pat Heskin said he visited McDonagh's flat with another
    garda. McDonagh told them that he had swopped his old car for the
    video recorder in a deal with his brother-in-law (outlaw, I'd say)
    Paddy Mongan.
       The court heard that Mongan had previousley pleaded guilty to
    feloniously receiving the video recorder.
       Garda Liam Maguire said McDonagh's wife Mary, told them that
    she had bought the barrel of Guinness in Tuam, but gardai had failed
    to discover who owned the barrel.
       When defending solicitor, Mr Paddy Lynch said that his client
    had to rear a large family on 250 pounds a week social welfare ($375)
    Justice John Garavan said that he would probably never see the day
    when he would receive 250 pounds per week into his hand (after
    deductions), and be able to watch "Rocky V" on video, surrounded
    by his loved ones with a barrel of Guinness on the side.
       It had only been a short time since charges against McDonagh
    of receiving a large amount of stolen goods had been dismissed.
    His flat on that occasion had been described as an "Alladin's Cave".
    He said that McDonagh was a marked man from now on.
    
    
    
    Snake loves the constant stream of humour that emanates from the
    Irish district court system. (I want to know who won the fight).
    

    ERRATA.
    
    Could someone please adjust the date on the previous note to the
    15th april (I'm workin' too hard).
    
    Snake will say thanks .
    

    One shouldn't joke about serious matters, but just this once.
    
    Muldoon, an IRA man killed in a bomb blast is met by St. Peter
    at the pearly gates.  Muldoon said, "I'm Muldoon from the Kerry
    Branch".  St. Peter said, "Well, you can't come in here. We don't
    want all those troubles in heaven".  Muldoon replied, "I don't want
    to come in.  You've got ten minutes to clear the place".

    
	Goodbye to the Port and Brandy, to the Vodka and the Stag,
	To the Schmiddick, and the Harpic, the bottle draught and keg.
	As I sat lookin' up at the Guinness ad, I could never figure out,
	How "Your Man" stayed up on the surfboard, after 14 pints of stout.
