    Mr. Godfrey is a bastion to what can be achieved through sheer persistence, hard work and a minimum of expertise.

    Minimum expertise, could'nt of said it any better its as close to none as you will get.
    Fair play to him €42k a year plus expenses which could be double that amount for going to a few meetings, thats what is wrong with this country wasting money on the likes.

    They would have to have him wearing the white sailor suit he used to wear while doing DJ in the Central on a Wednesday night in the '80. Funniest thing I have ever been to, you'd have to see it to understand.

    Just got it and rushed backit was on the tip of my tongue, he used to play the hall in Dunleer some craic, think thats his own name as in Frank D Godfrey, I take it all back and say sorry you did work as a DJ, your man that owns Sullivan auctineers took over from him.

    @ furiousox, Id say I started at a young age, will leave it at that.
