Thanks lads for your replies - yes I recall now the names your mentioned, and yes Jackie did the sand dance & the dying swan -

Sulivan was the character in court.

I also recall that Sullivan sat in front of the fire (Walmsley Arms) Ince Bar - winter time - with a towel around his shoulder - waiting for a large snowball, on his head, to melt.
He won his bet - each man there had said they would buy him a pint, if he did it. The money was handed over behind the bar before he sat there - the landords wife saying - he's not sitting there like that - she put a towel - wait for it - under the stool - then told Sullivan he could sit down.
There was more than one character in the pub on that day. I and about 3 or 4 others were there.

Now I'll tell you another true story - here in Wexford, Ireland.

A german was up in court having been caught with drugs. The judge asked if anyone in court could speak German - a man stood up and said "Me your honour" the judge invited him down and said - please ask the man in the dock to confirm his name - so the good samaritan went over and said,
"Vot ist yo nam"
Before any reply could be uttered from the man in the dock.The judge immediatley asked the samaritan if he - the samaritan - had some money with him, & if so - how much - the samaritan replied 37 euro - the Judge thanked him - then said you are find 37 euro for contempt of court then directed the police to take the money, issue a receipt and escort the man from the court.
