    A mate of mine brings a framed picture of his missus out on nights out and places it on the table. He says when he looks at it and thinks shes good looking then hes drunk enough and its time to go home. Think I’ll recommend counselling to him!

    Most of the sex issues in the bedroom we have in Ireland, I suspect, often stem from good old fashioned Catholic guilt.

    That pre-marriage course is just a feckin money racket, and a pain in the arse sitting in a circle with a room full of strangers who are no more interested in you than you are them..
