I must confess that although I use the handle "Danny-Boy" I have never worked for the former "News of the World" or any other arm of the evil Murdoch empire.

The closest I have come is a few months years ago at Reuters and before that a disastrous time at Reed International as an accountant where my immediate boss was a slimy individual called Lawrie Guest.
Guest later achieved media attention by being the Financial Director of Mirror Group Newsparers when it collapsed in the wake of the mysterious Maxwell death by drowning (allegedly). THe MGN Pension Fund which Guest was also responsible for was cleaned out to support Maxwel's other illusory ventures.

I must admit I thought the Burton character played "Danny-Boy " rather than "Broadsword" but I'l stick with it, now I'm a desk-wallah rather than in or on the field..

The words to the song Danny Boy were written by an Englishman, lawyer Frederic Edward Weatherly in 1910; he set the lyrics to an old Irish tune then called the Londonderry Air.

Oh well.. I Never expected any revelations about Maxwel from you lot, I gues like all the sheninagans at the Goldstone which nearly got you thrown out of the League, thats al been conveniently forgotten...
