Jamie Gold Half Irish

Jamie Gold, in his element
Jamie Gold, in his element
Fintan Gavin has drawn Jamie Gold and Dan Carter as tablemates and the garrulous Irishman extraordinaire is giving Gold a chat-run for his money. It's all good natured, getting-to-know-you stuff at the moment though:

"So, is this your first time in Ireland?"
"Yes."
"Liking it?"
"Loving it. The people are so friendly."
"See, I thought that was the problem with Ireland. The people."
"You should try London..."

There follows a mini Gold lifestory, involving Irish grandparents, a change of name, a stepfather, and the revelation that Jamie is indeed half Irish.
