Being, as I am, technologically retarded, means that I cannot halt unwanted e-mails arriving into my mail box. At least 20 times each day messages come in and all seem to want to flog Viagra in some form or other. I know this because I have to see part of the text before I delete it. If anybody else receives such e-mails and is anxious to reply to the senders I wonder would they be good enough to inform the sellers that at my stage in life I am praying for a happy death and am not anxious to try their products or receive their e-mails.
 
I understand that one-time pop idol Lulu and Gaelic football legend Mick O’Dwyer appeared on ‘The Late, Late Show’ on Saturday.

It is ironic that I met Lulu and not Mick O’Dwyer. Lulu was here in Limerick for a world premiere of one of Richard Harris’s films. At that time she was married to Bee Gee singer Maurice Gibb.

The morning after the premiere, I brought Lulu down to the Good Shepherd Convent as she wanted some Limerick lace. She appeared in a mini-skirt so short that it was scarcely worth her while wearing it. But the saintly nuns did not bat an eyelid and made her a presentation of the lace, which she greatly appreciated.
 
Limerick 37 have completed their first season in the League of Ireland. Now is the best time for me to refer to their practice whereby every time they wanted to launch something or other pretty models were hawked around for photoshoots.

I have nothing against the models. But why were they used to publicise club activities? Limerick 37 has a very talented ladies squad and why, I wonder, were members of that squad not used to highlight club happenings?.

Staying with sport I must say I would not like to be a traveller on the Ennis Road trying to be in time for a flight at Shannon next Sunday from mid-day. .

What I can only describe as ‘organised’ traffic chaos is sure to happen. Munster return to Thomond Park for a 1pm kick-off. Just a few hundred yards from there two important games will be played at the Gaelic Grounds, the All-Ireland camogie final and the Munster club senior hurling championship semi-final between Adare and the Tipperary champions.
