0:00.0	Well, hello everybody and welcome to this week's podcast from Tommy Hector and Loretta Blewett. It's called Borussia Dundalk. Tell us about the dole. No, no, I want to go back there. What was that you told me years ago? I met you one day. I think you came out to the house then the day or two after. And you went, I was playing poker till seven in the morning and I won a wad Oh yeah Did I ever tell you that's right about You won a good wad Tom Yeah so it was during the Garber race actually And there was a poker tournament on and 350 people entered and we paid somewhere between 50 and 100 quid a man or woman to play.
