Sad stuff
I read that this morning. First for freshness no more. Pat himself has gone a bit stale now. Whos next to go, Johnston, Mooney or O’Brien?
Hate to say it, but I switched to Hovis
A toast to Pat!
People will be very upset the length and bread of the country.
Really sad to hear he’s brown bread. We should all raise a toast
You cant use the same puns Flano. You could’ve said ‘another one bites the crust’ or something like that.
I hear there’s tea and sandwiches after the funeral today.
Dead as a dough-dough
Did they cremate him?
Would be hard not to make gags at the funeral if so.
