Darren – A few pints are essential for a meeting like that. But there again, a few pints are essential for just about everything?

E Mum – I confess I strayed, but I never told her mother.

Andrew – Why, thank you! Maybe we old dogs do have something to offer then?!

What was this meet-up and where was my invite? And why in the holy hell would you try to do something like that without alcohol?
Grandad, the great thing about blogging is that it gives you a voice. when someone expresses their opinions with clarity and skill, then people become interested in reading it. But you know that. From what I can make out the vast majority of bloggers in I reland are aged between about 22 and 30, which is what makes people like you, B’dum B’dum, Grannymar and Tommy so appealing to people. You don’t fit in the standard bracket and you all do what you do extremely well.
Personally, I care not a whit for Twitter and suchlike and I imagine i’d get far more enjoyment out of sitting down for a pint with you than I would with many bloggers of my own age.

It was great meeting you on Friday (and K8 too, of course). A few pints would have made it go far more smoothly. Next time…

I’ve got kids.

Boys.

Do I need to elaborate?

I don’t have an iPod or an Xbox. I don’t look at YouTube. I have a twitter account but don’t know how to use it. I don’t read books. I don’t watch TV. I don’t like art… Or culture…. Or politics, and I still only listen to the same 5 bands I liked when I was 14 years old.

Being clueless isn’t strictly for the wrinklies. I feel as out of touch with some of that shit as you probably do!

Kirk M – I’m sure she would have you [as the saying goes - where there's a will, there's a way ]. I’m sure your wife would understand too. We live in modern times after all?

Grandad,

Oh hell, I know you’re not feeling sorry for yourself, I just figured it might catch you off guard. You should know my sense of humor by now.

About K8: (I’d sure be an old(er) son in law.)

But would she have me? And I suppose my wife might have a thing or two to say about that as well. Still…
