Good man Paddy, not just good with the "odds" but a joker as well & one with a sense of humor I chuckled at that.

As long we don't mention rugby or cricket...

No Irish bands at Montreux? Thought 1st Old Boys would be up for it if not Drogheda as well..

Yes no bands entered from either Northern or Republic of Ireland this year again not so sure with 1st Old Boys maybe funds or the non avail of band personal, if so at that I would of thought maybe NIBA would of pass the invite to Laganvale (2nd NIBA 2010) to represent NI, however I would'nt know of their setup.

Regarding my former collegues at Drogheda again funds perhaps, maybe their own National been too close to Montreux & have choosen to participate at home rather than abroad, numbers at rehersals, i'm not so so to be honest.

here (just a little mention) regarding the cricket & the rugby what odds would ya of given on them results ?
