The Way We Live Now

Nothing sums up the glory of modern life in the west more than the front page of last week's Galway Advertiser. In the bottom corner was an advert for cosmetic surgery - a picture of generous cleavage with the tagline (across the aforementioned mammaries) - "The result might be a handful, but dealing with us is not". (Groan)


And in the middle of the page, a picture of Silver the Wonder Horse that will be the star attraction at the Bogman's Ball, on February 26 in Maam Cross. Well, maybe one of the star attractions. There was rumours that the single ladies who attended last year's event complained that there weren't enough bogmen about last year. This year, we are assured that there will be enough bogmen for everyone this year. As if this was a good thing. The whole event is in aid of Cancer Care West, though marrying one of the boggers might be a greater act of charity. There are still tickets left.
