Another old dear in Monkstown would give sweets to the drivers. You binned them because they were actually laxatives.

Ah, the old "have a cup of tea dear" in 1972's Derry (or Londonderry if Derry causes offence :D ). Old soldiers would tell you about the cups of tea with ground glass in them but it was a load of bollox, ground glass just sinks to the bottom. What else might have been in the tea though was anybody's guess. :D

And you accepted him for the perverted cross-dressing make-up wearing ghoul that he is.
But if he said he wanted to be called Susan then that's stepping over the line and you'd label him a wrong 'un :lol:

It's all a bit tiresome now and I wouldn't care if all these minority groups disappeared overnight, but if Alice Cooper wants to strut about like a cross-dressing hobgoblin and expects me to treat him equally and extend him every courtesy, then he's going to have to do the same to me if one day I want to put a frock on and call myself Barbara.

Like I said, let's treat everyone equally or abandon it altogether and let nature do it's thing.

Alice Cooper is just a stage act. In real life he's Vince Furnier, plays a lot of golf and wears 'slacks'.

According to wikipaedia he changed his legal name to Alice Cooper.
