Hume's The Man!

The world and its mother thronged to the Mansion House last Thursday night for the much anticipated launch of Bertie Ahern’s ‘buke’.

They were a thirsty bunch and at one stage, the bar staff at the Mansion House’s Round Room became so overwhelmed that they ran short of glasses, resulting in a log-jam at the bar.

But hats off to the legendary John Hume, who was having none of this waiting lark to have his glass refilled.

Instead, he just stepped in behind the bar and refilled his glass himself.

I mean, who is going to tell a Nobel Peace Prize winner that they are not allowed to do that!
