    LOL, I’m gonna look you up on the Census Rich, to settle this once and for all.

    I should be scanning for Rich “Sonny”’Charles Murrieta, is that correct?

    And you’re one of 100 children, is that right?

    And, finally, is Murietta your maiden or married name? :D

    How is old SaintPat himself? Young enough to be jibing you like this? To be a Saint, Pat has to actually be dead and canonised (and no, I don’t mean shot out of a cannon - how awful shooting dead people out of cannons).

    Hahaha.

    I am old enough to know better but not old enough to not do it anyway … whatever it is in any given case.

    First hint to my username: It isn’t Patrick or any variation, but for you, my friend, I’ll answer to Paddy.

    Second hint: I’m not Irish.

    Third hint: You better wear green on my birthday. (I’ll accept carrying Dave “Boy” Green around on your back.)

    Hmm. Not Irish but you know a lot of Brit related stuff, and there’s mention of Davey Boy Green - also your birthday is maybe 17 March? To be sure, to be sure, you’ve got me thinking.

    Super-middleweight Lee Noble was diagnosed with leukemia in 2014. He had four fights that year, so I assume he already had cancer when he fought.
