Thank you

My husband planned our wedding- he was off work sick, I was working full-time - it made sense for us. The only “groomzilla” thing he did was insist on an enormous and spectacular bouquet for me. I am v short and thought it was too much ( very long and trailing). It was beautiful. Fast forward 12 happy years and 2 kids…

Not the same graffiti, okay, but chock full of burnt out cars and used syringes and badly looked after kids and neglected ponies. I have been in some (all-white) shitholes Dublin that would make the hair stand up on the back of your neck....

I was ten or eleven, at a park just round the corner from my house when 4 grown men in a car started yelling obscene comments about my chest. I was wearing a hoodie and jeans and playing on a swing-set. What age did they THINK I was? I ran home. They laughed. My parents blamed me. I didn’t get their logic. But then it…

“Ms O’Brynne is a MILF”. “Nah, man, she’s not even a Mom” 1st guy (not missing a beat) “I bet I could fix that for her”
