A friend of ours, Maura, was in Belfast getting her hair done in a hairdresser..
She would be of a ( rough ) age as myself, call it early fifties.
When she emerged from the dryer the hairdresser said; (in Full Belfast )
My God, you look just like Ma Gran!
Maura was not pleased.
This girl was in her twenties,
her Gran would be at least 10 years older than Maura.
That was not the effect one wanted to achieve in a hairdressers.
At this the girl went to call over her assistant and said;
“Doesn’t she look just like Ma Gran!”
“She does !” enthused the assistant and looked at Maura for approval.
“You are the living image of Meg Ryan ! “

on March 14, 2006Happy Birthday Martin. (I’m sorry it’s a day and a half late).
I’ve really enjoyed your blogs. I’m looking forward to my retirement already.
I think it’s great the way that the older generation can master new technology.
Is there any way that you can wean my mother off text and on to e-mail?
Love and best wishes
