You will notice that there are more men than women here. There are two reasons for this:

(a)   I know more men than women in the town.
(b) "Can you come back tomorrow? I'm getting my hair done in the morning."
       "Grand."
        Next day. Mirror is produced. "Oh look at the state of me, one eye darker than the other and I've no eye-shadow. Can you come back tomorrow...?"

          Anyway, thanks to the people of Portlaoise for their courtesy and patience. To see some of them, just click on the small pictures.
