I was just thinking yesterday what an Irish institution Pat The Baker is (after seeing that horrible ad with D'Unbelieveable guy) Didn't know the actual fella was still alive.

All together now,

What wakes up the morning, for a perfect kind of day
Who tells the sun to rise now Pat is on his way
Its pat the baker, (first with freshness)
Pat the baker, so fresh its famous
Bright and early every morning, he brings the best to you........
Pat the Baker, So Fresh its Famous.

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

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.

It's really annoying, I could spend ages studying for an exam in college and still not remember a thing, yet I can remember something like that more or less word for word with out trying. I also know all the words to the fresh prince of bel air.

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*

His family have asked well wishers to stop sending in donations after his death.

They don't knead the dough anymore....

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