That’s a relief. For a moment I thought I was going to have to adjudicate my Father’s heterosexual style of parenting. My Mother left him with a kipper injury in response to all the unmerited praise he’s been getting lately.
Hehe. You’ve got me thinking – who from Irish life was born in 1950 and is potential presidential material? To the Google machine, I swashbuckle. Wish me fortitude…

Yeah, just spotted that and had to reflect for a moment on my first experience of consciously fancying a pensioner. What about Miriam O’Callaghan? They say she looks great for her age.
Never been a fan of Miriam myself, something about her voice annoys me.
Me, too. Geeeenuinely.

But you still love and cherish the Tooth Fairy and acknowledge its right to love other Tooth Fairies, right? Wait, is there more than one Tooth Fairy? There must’ve been. And maybe you just wrote to the wrong Santa.
Succinctly put as always!
Don’t talk to me about the tooth fairy… 10p per tooth, daylight robbery. Guess who grew up in the ’80s!
I think there’s only three people left in Leitrim at this stage, but that’s because of emigration. Although, now that you mention it *eyes narrow thinkingly*

Oh I don’t think Bert or Ernie would have minded!
Excellent post. Best argument I’ve read on the matter.

I didn’t know you felt so strongly about reducing the minimum age of presidential candidates.

OK, Tara. Before the Tooth Fairy was born anyway.
The Tooth Fairy is a git. Just sayin’

Sometimes our 10p was in sterling *smug*
Best reason I’ve heard so far. That and they guy who thinks the human race will become extinct if we vote yes!
