    Something to do with a debate about the fastest game bird (or something like that), at a shooting party in Castlebridge, Co. Wexford.

    Rather cringingly, a sign has gone up recently in Castlebridge 'Home of the Guinness Book of Records'!!

    Correct! Oddly they didn’t actually put in the answer to the question (Golden Plover) for 30 years. But much more importantly one of the participants in said debate was the magically monickered Sir Hugh Beaver

    What was your man, some kind of rapist or something, that was always trying to abduct Penelope?

    The "ant hill" vigilantes really should have brought whatever information they had to the authorities and allowed the police deal with the situation.
