Mind you, arguing in a pub in Dublin the other year with a friend who happens to be of the emerald and pig under your arm persuasion; It got a bit heated when he was trying to convince me that The Band Played Waltzing Matilda was written by Shane McGowan. I told him, being rather pissed and mischievous, that nobody from London could have written such a decent song and it must have been a Scottish bloke with a working knowledge of Australia. Then we got onto Dirty Od Town. Then the landlord asked us to stop feckin' shouting at each other.
