Here is an extract from the Johnny Vaughan show at the weekend - for those of you who missed it:
JV: Ardal, many congratulations on the late goal against the Germans (cue much cheering among predominantly English audience).
AO: Cheers Jonny, it was a great occasion for us (cue more subdued cheering this time).
JV: So Ardle, could you please answer this burning question 'why, given that we English are always delighted to see the Irish team do well, do the Irish fans dislike the English so much?!!' (cue a collective
inquisitive 'yeah?' from the audience).
AO: Well, Jonny I'd say that was more down to the 800 years of repression to which you've subjected our people and that fact that you still occupy 6 counties in our country than anything else!!!!!
(cue one guy standing and clapping his hands as loud as he possibly could amid the flying tumbleweed!)
