Mahon Tribunal Witness Des Richardson Suffers memory Lapse
Posted on Wednesday, May 21, 2008You remember our old pal Des Richardson, don’t you? Of course you do. I wrote about him here and here and here.
Well, Des has been giving evidence to the Tribunal, and today he was asked about those 24 public-spirited businessmen who clubbed together to buy Bertie’s HQ house for him.
Who were these people? the Tribunal wanted to know.
And Des looked around him, and then he looked up at the ceiling, and then he farted, and then he looked out the window, and then he scratched his head, and then he farted some more, and then he held up his innocent hands in defeat and smiled like the little angel that he is.
Do you know what? I can’t believe it. Des couldn’t for the life of him remember any of these benefactors. Isn’t that incredible? Not if his life depended on it could Des remember one of these people, even though Des’s own name was on the legal documents relating to the purchase. That’s hard to believe, isn’t it?
Very hard to believe. Very hard indeed.
Incredible, in fact.
Stumble it!

“Not if his life depended on it could Des remember”
I’m sure if you stuck a red-hot poker up his arse he could.
He’s a very gassy fella then?

Send in the guards from Donegal. They’ll get names, any names, Lord Lucan, etc.

B’dum: He is. And full of shit too.
Yobbah: What a great idea, though of course you wouldn’t need to go as far as Donegal for cops prepared to do that.
