MADONNA IS apparently afraid of thunder and lightning and was said to be anxiously watching Dublin’s cloud heavy skies in the run-up to last night’s concert.

As it happened, the heavens failed to light up and all the electricity came from the material girl and her blood-splattered S&M troupes who danced up a storm for close to two hours in front of a half-empty Aviva Stadium which was more like a giant hen party than a concert.

Ah here.

Can any of your readers tell me why a new media company like Google is using dinosaur technique marketing? I mean, have they looked at 50-year-olds these days? How many 50 year olds do you know who would consider themselves even middle-aged, never mind elderly?

Thanks for letting me get that off my 53 year old chest… which is holding up quite nicely thank you without a vest.
