I heard something on the radio about it driving home tonight. Where's Al and what did he have for dinner?

Was it from 'OOP NARF' as they say over here (up North, i.e. the N.W. of the UK, Lancashire/Manchester?).

Somewhat 'Pie' orientated up there they are.

WIGAN is the home of the pie BTW which leads to one of my fave jokes;

How do you tell when a WIGAN lass (girl) has an orgasm?

She drops her pie!

Ha ha......

Better than a corn beef sandwich... :) 

With apologies to a certain (momentarily queasy) NASA astronaut, may he rest in peace.  I couldn't resist the chuckle, sir.
