I don't know if that's 100% right but I'm working from memory and it's close.

Q - What did they call Pat the Baker after he retired?

A - Pat.

zuutroy

Have to say I'm a Brennans man. A Shaws sausage wrapped in a super-fresh slice of Brennans with a bit of butter and ketchup....awesome.

Workin from memory here, but I feel the need to show off

In west philadelphia, born and raised,
on the playground is where I spent most of my days
chillin out maxin, relaxin all cool
and I was shootin some b-ball outside of the school

when a couple of guys who were up to no good
startin makin trouble in the neighbourhood
i got in one little fight and my mom got scared
she said "youll move in with your aunty and uncle in bel air!"

i whistled for a cab and when it came near
the licence plate said "fresh" and there were dice in the mirror
if anythin i could say that this cab was rare
but i thought now forget it, yo home to bel air!

i pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
and i yelled to the cabby "yo home, smell ya later"
i looked at my kingdom, i was finally there,
to settle my throne as the prince of bel air

I also know the A-Team intro thing, but I won't bother with that!

I could have sworn it was 'to sit on my throne' but in fairness he says it so fast it's kinda hard to understand what he's saying. As long as it sounds similar, it'll do in my book.

Pat The Baker is the best bread, especially Toast Pan (Goes great with anything greasy ) Ah R.I.P., Pat!

You know what this means, right? Exactly what Nostrodamus predicted:

"When Pat The Baker ceases, so too shall the existence of man."

I can see the headlines already:

"Bread Drought Wipes Out Entire Counties!"
"Lack Of Bread Causes Riots!"
"Ahern Calls State Of Emergancy As Economy Cripples!"
"RAGE Virus Spreading Faster, Say Experts"
"Why We Don't Need Bread, By Kevin Myers"
"The Dead Walk!!"

I dunno about you guys but I'm going holding up in my flat for a few weeks. I gotta run to Tesco and buy reserves

*Legs it out the door punching anyone in his way*

Actually, bread is set to hit an all time high becauswe wheat prices have gone through the roof due to crazy weather.

If he's cremated, will the end product be like those burnt crumbs you get in the bottom of a toaster?

I'm going to retire my toaster in Pat's honour. A true gentleman and icon of the notoriously fickle bread community. And I don't buy all that negative propaganda about him personally smearing his cock over every hundredth pan. Scandalous lies from those w*nkers over at Brennans.

I always thought that was some sort of free prize. Every 100th pan comes with free cock cheese.

I just burst out laughing at this ... funny stuff.

No, it's bullsh*t. It was a fiction when those sc*mbags at Brennans first concocted it, and it's a fiction today. The only reason the story ever gained credence is because Pat himself admitted in his autobiography (My Life in Bread) to incubating undercooked pans beneath his naked "darce" (that weird area between your dick and your arse), much as mother goose would tend to her egg.

But far from being a sick prank, Pat only did this to rescue the faulty pan, hating as he did seeing any food wasted. It does however account for the flood of complaints in the 80s about pube-ridden batch loafs and sliced pans beset by downy fuzz.

AH HA HA HA HA HA HA. I see what you've done here. You've taken the fact that he was a bread magnate, and then you've used the word "taste", which in this context has a double meaning. Oh man, you kill me.

Oh for God's sake. Not another brainwashed hippy, spouting off about the evils of "Big Bread" and "Big Oil". I'm sick of this sh*t. There is nothing evil about large corporations trying to turn a buck. There is no global sliced pan conspiracy. Big Bread had nothing - I repeat, nothing - to do with 9/11. And there are no plans to run a yeast pipeline through Afghanastan, despite what the anti-bread lobby say.

Maybe he will be inccoruptus and then be made into a Saint.

then we can pray "o pat the baker, who's body is blessed so that its so fresh its famous.."

Please inform yourself before you decided to post your moronic, ill-informed thoughts here. Those guys who were behind 911 had a few slices if toast that morning for breakfast and one of them even had a sandwich with him on the plane. Coincidence, I think not.

Ah, he was quite a crusty old age when his Best Before Date expired. Now, enough with all of your dead-pan humour, I propose a toast to Pat for given us the oppertunity to enjoy filthy after-pub sandwiches dough heel be sadly missed.............................BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD!!!!

*Sorry, I couldn't resist there! *

Bad Taste indeed he's obviously past his use by date !

So do you think they'll be playing him out with "Mouldy old dough" at the service ?

dublinario

In his younger years, he once engaged the great Mahatma Gandhi in a bread making competition. Charmed by Ghandi's doctrine of peace, Pat threw the competition, purposely contriving a draw, ending the bout in stalemate (eh? eh, my friend?). When Ghandi learned of the deception, he became aggressive and had to be removed from the bakery by some of Mr. DeBakers hired goons.

Robbo

I decided to pay tribute in toast form.
