When I think of these lads I think they should be in the hall of fame as artists and not defamed for their love of a pint from people who go by heresay.....I met both of these guys in the flesh and enjoyed what I saw.
I only wish that many people had the same sense of humour these days.
Both of them couln't give a toss for the PC Brigade....both are now sadly gone from this earth to the detriment of their peers.

Being from St. Marys Ossy like Bernard I too knew him Roy, can always remember the first time I saw him perform, one gag stuck in my mind. Two mates die, one goes to heaven the other to hell, after a few months they meet at the fence, the bloke in hell say "what's it like", "Its hard graft we work 7 days a week 12 hours a day", whats it like down yon, "easy, we work 1 day a week 1 hour a day", "how come" say the first bloke, "there's more of us down here"
