Subject: RE: Obit: Dave Allen comedian 11/03/05
this quote was used earlier but it had been censored and given his famed use of profanity and brilliant delivery i think it should be repeated in full

"We spend our lives on the run: we get up by the clock, eat and sleep by the clock, get up again, go to work - and then we retire. And what do they give us? A fucking clock."

As a catholic from a catholic household and also being taught by cristian brothers I was truly amazed by his very original take on life irishness and religion, avery specail comedian. cllr
