Government Health Warning lads: The way girls see you if you've been drinking rum
Those great people down in WHPR have sent us through an intriguing PR piece promoting Captain Morgan rum.

Since they didn’t accompany the promo piece with any product, we don’t feel honour bound in any way to push a liquor that would leave any self respecting county player on their back, unable to muster even the weakest of passes from the hand. It’s amazing what a free bottle can do – Pernod have known that for years.

According to their ‘wacky’ new TV programme Captain TV, which documents the adventures of a buccaneering dandy with a hairdo not dissimilar to Laois’s Colm Parkinson in his hey day, the boul Captain Morgan is seen investigating claims that much maligned Kerry skipper Paul Galvin was trying to swat a Bee and accidentally slapped Paddy Russell’s notebook to the ground in a bid to protect him. Irrespective of the merits of calling Paddy Russell a Bee, the story is given some legs as Captain Morgan claims to have captured the offending Bee.

We don’t want to offend Paul any further by dwelling on this story, but the real B** Talking Balls is interested in talking to, is the hoor that’s wearing a tee shirt with one of our prints on it, about 36 seconds into the You Tube clip. All very well indeed. Well, if you know this person, hand him in and we’ll get Killian Burns and the good people down at WHPR to send you a bottle of the Captain’s finest.

If you want to watch this drivel, log on to http://www.captaintv.ie/. You’ll be particularly interested if you are one of the thousands of people that gave Paul a raucous welcome at Croker when he returned after his three month suspension. Captain Morgan can also leave a funny taste in the mouth.
