I think I know Pat. He chucked a dead cow off a canal bridge once.

My name is Pat - I am a bade and I would have helped you - maybe it’s a Pat Blade thing

I second this notion

Good story sheepdip. Enjoyed hearing it and look forward to tales of the reunion.
Staffers are usually good sorts, especially if they e done some travelling.

Nice one Pat.

Pat has made my day today!

I'm moving a canal boat from Essex to Lancashire and needed fuel near Watford. To cut a long story short I had words with a dickhead in a marina

Pat has made my day today!

I'm moving a canal boat from Essex to Lancashire and needed fuel near Watford. To cut a long story short I had words with a dickhead in a marina and left without a top-up (I don't suffer fools gladly nowadays) and met Pat on his boat - Little Miss Sunshine - a little later.

Pat gave me a bloke's number who sorted me out for fuel - and at a damn fine price - before saying he was hoping to get to Sheffield by water as his daughter is there. At that point I of course turned the conversation to the Blades - to which Pat (who is South African by the way) grinned and said he was a Blade too. Said he used to work down the Lane about 12 years ago!

Anyway - I mentioned our forum, which he's never signed on to, but which he said he will tonight - so Pat - thanks for the help this morning mate - and ain't it typical that the nicest, most useful bloke you meet in the arse end of Hertfordshire, turns out to be one of us - even though he's from South Africa!

Welcome to the forum Pat. Call in to Forest Locks on your way to Sheffield mate, and I'll stand you that ale I promised you.

Still off topic but here's some humorous chants we and Pat can look forward to in the Prem:

Only Pat has that authority and he's currently sailing the high seas.
