Not even vaguely poker related, but my oldest son Paddy was on TV again last night, on The Byrne Ultimatum. Basically he was plucked from the audience to "co-present", which boiled down to being the straight man that Jason Byrne took the piss out of.
Jason commented at one point on Paddy's inner calm and that is indeed one of Paddy's many fine qualities. He's just about the calmest person you could ever meet, taking everything in his stride. Considering he's not a trained TV presenter and had to react on the spot to everything that was thrown at him, I thought he did really well and was very proud of him.
Anyway, RTE put the programme up at http://www.rte.ie/player/#v=1055897
