[Leica] St. Patrick' Day

[Douglas Barry]

It'll be nothing in comparison to the volume of heartache pills needed 
in Brexitstan, Nathan. I watched the match, of course, and it was great 
to win the Grand Slam on Paddy's Day. It will probably be a fair few 
years before we do the same trick again.

The last time I was at Twickenham for an international we lost by 15-9 
to England, and Wales won the Grand Slam that year. That wasn't today or 
yesterday, but was forty years ago in 1978. The only consolation was the 
team I was playing on that morning beat our English opposition despite 
having been out on the tiles in London's Soho until 4am the night 
before. Luckily for us, the opposition had been doing more or less the 
same thing. I nearly fell asleep in the scrums.

Paddy's Day is always a tad bizarre, and this offering from the US Army 
today demonstrated the hitherto unheralded hallucinogenic properties of 
the shamrock...

Barney, I'm about to have a tincture of 12 year old Redbreast, so thanks 
for the reminder!
