    She's 21 of course! (That's in Plutonian years btw)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,082 ✭✭✭lostexpectation


    20 years older then how she dresses


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,151 ✭✭✭beanyb


    Yeah she's in her late 50's I'd say. She looks so much older than that in real life though. Mutton dressed as lamb as the saying goes.

    That'd make her about 75 so !

    There's a wikipedia article on her here

    I'm not gonna guess, I'll just wait until the results of the carbon dating tests are back, then we'll all know.

    Is she from Antrim, if she is I have her age here: 47.

    Haha look what wikipedia says:
    Even though she's probaly in her 50's, in a recent survey nearly 40% of tenage boys says they "probably would" !

    40% of teenage boys would get up on a gust of wind if they got half a chance....

    Puberty must have been very difficult for you

    My unending flatulence did make me long to be double jointed, i'll grant you...

    :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,709 ✭✭✭BolBill


    So its 47 then? I reckon shes older than that !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 550 ✭✭✭Telefís


    Well Anne Doyle is 53 if that helps in the comparison stakes of hard-to-date older women.
    Considering Martin looks well into her 30s in the 1992 Eurovision, I'd put her at about 50-52 now. That looks about right - for good or evil :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,546 ✭✭✭Enii


    If you excavated all the makeup off her face she would probably be quite attractive............

    There you go, research done as long as she wasn't thirty in school or summat. Slightly into her forties at the time of the 1992 euromovision I'd guess. Or perhaps the last blast of the late thirties - she had after all apparently been entering the competition pretty much every year since 1976.

    And in fairness, 40% of teenage boys would indeed probably ride a toaster if they thought they'd get anything out of it

    I'm sure they'd get a good buzz out of it :p

    I'd say Linda Martin is into her 50's and no I definately wouldn't.

    I wouldn't do Linda Martin but I'd do Miriam O'Callahan in a shot.

    I'd say Linda Martin is in her late 50's.

    Finally found that 1992 Eurovision - not that I have these things to hand of course.... :D

    She looks late 30s there, maybe even early 40s as the neck's beginning to go - always gives em away :D
