‘To err is human...’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Almost everybody will agree that we all make mistakes. The only exception I ever knew to this rule was my father. “I don’t make mistakes,” he declared when my brother Willie ventured, “I think you are making a mistake, Daddy!” Anyway, if the rest of us mere mortals admit that we all make mistakes, why are so many mistake-makers averse to admitting it and uttering the simplest of words: “sorry”? Ali MacGraw delivered a famous line in the film Love Story, and it became the closing argument of many
‘Old men are dangerous …’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
George Bernard Shaw said; ‘old men are dangerous because they have nothing to lose.’ I used to tease a couple of our elderly fun-loving bar customers with this line many years ago. You see, in the innocence of my youth, I took Georgie’s words to be referring, sort of tongue in cheek, to ‘dirty old men’. Watching CNN news last night, it hit me like a bolt that the words of GBS; ‘old men are dangerous because they have nothing to lose’ isn’t funny at all. On the contrary, the thought sent a chill

Life expectancy in Ireland, having risen steadily over the decades now stands at 82 years. I am delighted with this because I know that on average I should have a few more weeks to live before going into ‘injury time.’ Or I could move to Japan where life expectancy is 84. But no; even with the prospect of a couple of extra years added to my life, I would never want to live anywhere else other than where I am now. You see; and no matter what angle you look at it from, Ireland is the best place in

There I was floundering around as my deadline loomed and nothing worth writing about entering my head. (Ah Lads … please … please – the children haven’t gone back to school.) Anyway, I went out to close the gate and what do you know, but there on the front lawn were these two beady little eyes set in what looked like a ball and meeting my gaze head on. This unexpected creature never missed a beat as it grazed unfazed on the sweet young grass. A hedgehog had come to visit us in Irishtown. The str
‘How old would you be if you didn’t know your age?’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was reading something in a magazine last week when I came across what I consider to be one of the greatest lines ever written. It had little to do with the gist of the story and wasn’t attributed to anyone. I actually had flicked over it before its significance registered in slow motion and so I reversed and read it again. The ceist was asked; ‘how old would you be if you didn’t know your age.’ Think about that one for a minute … You see … and whether we like it or not; most people behave and
