    About this ebook

    Tales of Other Times is a miscellany of short stories ranging from the humorous to the serious and covering a period of sixty years. They are based both on the author's own experiences and on characteristics of people he met during his youth to his old age. Most are set in Ireland, north and south, and cover a wide range of subjects. Politics are eschewed, only the different facets of the human condition are portrayed. Any resemblance to acquaintances still alive is purely coincidental. The story of 'Mary', for instance, could be any school teacher anywhere and her fall from grace could happen to anyone, while many of the other characters portrayed are an amalgam of people met over a lifetime. They are products of their times, with their actions influenced by their background and their circumstances, each with a unique place in their universe.

      Why We Still Love Bridget Jones 25 Years On

      Feb 11, 2021

      A few years ago I was having lunch with someone, and told them I was re-reading Bridget Jones’s Diary. “God, why!?!” they scoffed. Flustered by the put-down, I lacked the confidence to say because it’s a modern classic, a work of genius and reading
