full 22 February 2011
I have a repeat of the head cold so the brain is a bit bunged up at the moment. I am not always the best at paying attention to news items in passing anyhow but right now, with a general election looming in Ireland and the head not right, I am hearing of all kinds of issues I should be worried about eg today a radio programme announced it would be dealing with one of the great neglected issues = crying…em, turns out it was CRIME, though I am sure crying was and is a by product thereof. Also heard an advert for a business school saying ‘Learn now, Leave later’, which is very apt for the amount of emigration back on the Irish agenda, BUT it was in fact ‘Learn now, LEAD later.’
Perhaps this is no wonder in my life, given that I recently wrote, in a draft of a film treatment, that a sign should read ‘No Public Dancing’ but in fact typed in ‘No Pubic Dancing’ and I have still to hear someone point up the mistake…and they really are 2 different things, in fairness…
