“Whomever commissioned, created and installed this
abominationplaque has some explaining to do. We have been assured there is no connection with the County Council. This is a private commission by someone who needs to sack his/her proofreader. Spelling apart, although I have no way of proving it, I’m fairly confident in saying Queen Maeve didn’t look like Barbie either.”
Anyone?

You guys were good enough to post about my last short film ‘Anya – Twenty years in the life of a Russian orphan’, well my earlier short ‘After You – Sixty years in the life of a Dublin doorman’ has just gone online and I figured you may like it also.
Us Earthlings are left feeling low,
As Ziggy’s decided to go,
Back to outer space,
To rejoin his race,
And put on a heavenly show.
