Appeared on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' and towards
The end of the program had already won £500,000.

'You've done very well so far,'
Said, Chris Tarrant, the show's presenter,
'but for a million pounds you've only got one
Life-line left -

Phone a friend.
Everything is riding on this question......

Will you go for it?'


'Sure,'said Mick,'I'll have a go!'

Which of the following birds does not build its own nest?


a) Sparrow, b) Thrush, c) Magpie, d)Cuckoo?'

'I haven't got a clue,'
Said Mick,''

So I'll use me last lifeline and phone me friend Paddy
back home in Dublin.'

Mick called up his mate, and told him the circumstances
and
Repeated the question to him.

Hell, Mick!' cried Paddy.

'Dat's simple......it's a cuckoo.'

'Are you sure?'

'I'm sure.'

Mick hung up the phone and told Chris,


'I'll go wit Cuckooas me answer.'

'Is that your final answer?' asked Chris

'Dat it is, Sir.'

There was a long - long pause, and then the presenter
screamed,


'Cuckoo is the correct answer!

Mick, you've won 1 million pounds!'

The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their local pub to
buy him a drink.'

Tell me, Paddy? How in Heaven's name did you know it was
DA Cuckoo that doesn't build its own nest?'

'Because he lives in a clock!'
