I’m currently listening to an album of Irish traditional
music, so very kindly sent to me by the incomparable Kaetlyn McCafferty of Ohio,
USA. (Slainte,
McCafferty.)
The thing is, though, it sends my mind off into the Irish
connection, and my first point of contact with said connection is (sorry about
this) Father Ted. And every time I
think of Father Ted, the first lines
that spring to mind are Dougal (a young priest) saying ‘Jesus is great, isn’t he Ted?’ and Ted
(an older priest) replying ‘Yeah, Dougal, he’s great’
Does anybody else find that as enduringly funny as I do? Or
is it me?

You're very welcome Jeff-and I'm really glad that you like it. It strays a bit from the norms of tradition, but they're both so passionate about their music..
My mam and I watched an entire season of father ted the other night. Classics.
It now keeps me company during the lonely hours on the computer, Kaetlyn. Thank you again.

'Yeah, they're on Ted. Oh, they've gone off again. They're on again. No, they're off again...'
'Dougal!'
