LOL - this has reminded me of the "shenanigans" as I was stood at the altar waiting for Joobs, and the Minister decided to talk to the predominantly APAT crowd...Paulie, can you remember what he made the mistake of saying?

Not specifically except that, I think, he assumed we were all English to which the kilted members of the audience objected followed by the Welsh bleating*.
*I see what I did there.

Yes, but the entire situation was resolved by Brendan shouting "DA UK AND OIRLAND"

It was funny though...I"ll try and paraphrase:
"So thank you all for coming all the way over from England..."
Half the crowd go "OI, FECK OFF!"
"So thank you all for coming over from England & Wales..."
A third of the crowd go "OI, FECK OFF!"
"So thank you all for coming over from England, Wales & Scotland..."
And all I hear then is Ger going "OI" and Brendan shouting "DA UK AND OIRLAND!"
