    Thats him.

    I missed that at the time but I remember going back to the early 90s or maybe earlier he was always writing in to the Examiner and Southern Star.

    He wrote letters to the papers about every little thing that came into his head. Two flies crawling up a wall etc etc.

    Always wondered what the story with him was, if that was his real name or a pseudonym. An unusual character for sure.

    RTE radio one did a programme on him in the late 90's. IIRC he was a stay at home single father and writing letters to Newspapers was his outlet.
