    Gandhi, Galileo- they were legends

    Alive today? perhaps Mandela and Chavez but thats about it apart from those involved in saving lives.





    and Karin of course.

    Mandela - dead right too BU- How could anyone but a Legend have married that nutter Winnie !!!!!

    Default A typical comparison on how easy it would be to mix up a real legend with a nonrunner

    would be the following,

    Padre Pio.A typical priest.Praying for everyone and doing very little beyond that.For all i know he got those wounds from holding up his local Boots store.

    Mother Theresa.A woman who went out and made her home amonsgt the poor of Calcutta.Helping the sick and dying.Ensuring that they at least died with dignity if she couldnt save them.

    There is absolutly no comparison in any shape or form between these two,yet its very easy to see how they both could be given equal legendary status.

    so what your saying is that if padre pio and mother theresa had a race,padre pio would be quicker off the blocks but mother theresa has a better stride so she would pass pio out and win

    what im saying is for Padre to win the race hed have to trip her.Padre Pio.FFS I used to think he was the owner of an insurance company.You see him on the cornor of a load of car windscreens.Padre and his prayer.Just so you get home safely you know.You can watch Padre for inspiration instead of the shaggin road.Divine intervention maybe,maybe he will reach out and do a handbrake turn for you at the last second.

    and todays news at six,

    A man is miraclously recovering at the CUH today.He is said to be in a state of deep shock.Over to Charlie Brid who is at the scene.

    Charlie ,what can you tell us?

    Well Anne, it seems the man was driving home from his place of work when his car left the road and headed on to incoming traffic and towards a big red truck.We have unconfirmed reports of Padre Pio doing a handbrake turn for him.Back to you in the studio.

    I've never heard either described as a legend..............

    Default I knew a man with a funny nickname

    Padre Pio !!

    I knew a lad who had a similar accident with a nail gun. He had no sense of Humour whatsoever.

    Just didnt see the humour in his nickname.
