This afternoon.
Leinster House, Dublin 2.
Former President of Sinn Féin Gerry Adams, sporting an 1980s throwback ‘do’, on the plinth at the Dáil with current president Mary Lou Mcdonald after greeting the party’s new TD, Mark Ward.
Business at the front: bomb in the boot party at the back.

Just when you thought he couldn’t get any more dashing…
– also, that’s an awesome headline btw, Bodge
Rob G, Thank you!
A genius. Its talents are wasted here.
Absolutely brilliant.. there’s a great big ad agency with your name on it sir..
Agreed! Bodger’s headlines are consistently the best I’ve come across.
Lilly, The headers are a real team effort, but thank you very much and sorry to get all mushy, but you are one of my favourite commenters of the past ten years.
Thank you Bodger, you’ve just made my day :)

Reliving the 80s he never had when he was not in the IRA.
Glad to see Mark Ward win the By-election
But mainly because it’s not Gogarty there today on the plinth
And of the four new TDs there today, this seat – Dublin Mid West, is the one I can’t see it’s new occupant winning back in the General
Surely….
The Border ‘Silver’ Fox.
What’s with this trend of men who go grey growing their hair? I quite like the grey thing but long hair makes you look older- get you self into a barber there Jarry- plenty around Dundalk.
Anyways- this festive joke never gets old.

Try The Barber of Cullaville.
No barber in Cullaville high carbs- three in Cross of course?
I am not sure if I can answer this, but as an older man, gone grey, my hair is now longer than I ever had it before. In my case, it is partly because I really don’t care what other people think. Maybe once out of the strictures of ‘you must look thusly’ we get to have fun.
I am not worried how old people think I am. I grew a beard, and after a while shaved it. Everyone said I looked younger, and I noted a distinct change in attitude towards me where my opinions had no weight. Grew back the beard: suddenly I am an expert, although nothing has changed but the length of my whiskers.
Might be the same with grey hair. I was once told that as men get older they cut their hair shorter to hide the grey and the bald patch. For me, cutting my hair short was always about practicality: hot climates, limited water, easy to clean. It is now longer as a definite insulation in these colder climes.
But while the headline is wonderful, that is not a mullet, merely a ‘I have not been to the barber in a while’!
I can identify with this; especially not caring what people think
Unfortunately the next phase (I’m told) is…..
invisiblity :(
At what age do men become invisible?
We like to think…never:
but reality has a habit of kicking in.
I have no intention of becoming invisible. I look forward to my curmudgeon years :)
On the male gayside of the fence- about 30- then at 50 we are back- BIG TIME
Lesbians end up sticking labels on shoppers while walking down the street which means they will all collectively end up wearing Burkas.
When do men ever become invisible
Seriously?
@V- when they are homeless- not something considered in 3 story bungalows with over arching views in South Armagh.
When they are six feet under.
Maybe to you
Homeless, male female or whatever they want to be, are never invisible to me
And I don’t know what that remark about a bungalow with a view is for
But I suspect it was another dig at someone
@V: People should never be invisible, and I try in my daily life to make sure I acknowledge everyone who I see. I applaud you for your comment, which I know is sincere.
Please stay the kind soul that you are!
Gerry looks great it has to be said.
He looks a bit like Seamus Heaney in the first pic. I wonder if he’s contemplating peeling potatoes with Mary Lou.
Never closer all their lives eh.
