'Who Wants to be a Millionaire'

Paddy is on 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' ~ he's got through the easy
questions and his first Ł1000 is safe.

Aries...

LOL, good one :)

Chris Tarrant says to him "right then Paddy here's your question for Ł2000
quid..." Name the famous Great Train Robber, was it ~ A.) Ronnie Barker,
B.) Ronnie Corbett, C.) Ronnie O'Sullivan or D.) Ronnie Biggs."

Jackie...

Good one. When I saw the heading I thought perhaps you were going on the
show????
I wonder if anyone from UPS would give it a try????

Paddy says "I'll take the money thanks Chris."

Chris Tarrant looks at him bemused and tells him he still has all 3
lifelines left but Paddy is adamant he's had enough. Chris says "Give him a
big hand everyone Paddy goes back to Ireland with Ł1000"

He then turns to Paddy and says "Before you go you'll want to know the
answer."

Paddy says "Nah it's OK Chris, I knew the answer."

Chris shouts "You knew the answer?! Why didn't you answer?! Are you mad?!"

Paddy says "I might be mad Chris, but I am not a grass!"

noreen...

Nice one Eric;-))

Eric - I don't get the joke.
Can you explain? Thanks.

Ergo...

I am assuming that you heard about the train robbery in the early 1960's?
The other thing you may need to know is that a 'Grass' is what Merkins call
a Stoolie (Stool Pigeon) Informant.

Oh! No wonder I didn't get the joke.
I had no idea what "grass" meant.
I've learned another UK word! (g)
Thanks, Eric.
