Psycho Pat’s trans-atlantic phone call which landed him in hot water

25 November 2010 00:00
I DID fear for my safety once when Joey Bennett Senior phoned and told me to get my arse round to their house pronto![LNB]I had no idea what I had done wrong and was truly sh**ing myself when I arrived there. I walked into the front room and Joey was sitting around the table with some friends, Les and Joan Powell. They proceeded to hand me their latest telephone bill, which was an astonishing £650 for a quarter.[LNB]I then had a horrible flash-back to a couple of months earlier when I had gone to a local pub with Joey and some family friends including Les and Joan.[LNB]We had ended up back at the Powell's for a party and when everyone had gone to bed I crashed out on the couch. After a few minutes I began thinking of Kimberly Cusack, a girl I had met on tour in Hawaii, so decided to phone her.[LNB] I must have been on the blower to her for about three hours! In my drunken state I had thought nothing of it but weeks later the phone bill sobered me up!
