Ok yesterday I promised my POST of the Week today, but after a creative meeting with the team that column has been further postponed for further research and design, and also because tomorrow is a special occasion. Today we now have the long awaited Ms. Lally profile, but also because I felt that's an internal thing to Sutton parkers below that you'll find some reasons I admire adults, so really you're getting two columns.

Ms Lally

This was never going to be as easy as the Ms Lyons one, but I gave it a whirl.

Ms Lally first arrived in fourth year (same day as me, probably) and we soon all found a place for her in our hearts.

1. What is it I do?
We had her first thing on a Friday after lunch. It started off as career guidance, and then moved along it's merry way. I don't think she told anyone but by the end of our year, career guidance had some how evolved into gardening?? Which consisted of birdhouse making, and her telling Fergus that no a fallac bird house would not be a good idea for a school environment. Gardening though?

2. Lunch Anyone
Charlie and the Chocolate factories first mention, she asked to stay late on a half day for rehearsals, we did, she didn't, she went for lunch, lunch in the Marine with Mrs Garvy to be precise. Then finally got back an hour late and got mad at us for being mad at her?

3. People she didn't like
Peter- that peter kid from Brian Gleesons year, she didn't like him.
Aoife N.- I don't know if she liked Aoife or not, but all I know is she was not interested in Aoife auditioning at all, and gave her a part with 2 lines, fair play though she still came to every rehearsal, and at least she wasn't an ommpa loompa (or however that is spelled.)

4.People she did like
Brian Gleeson: In her eyes he could do no wrong, he was perfect as a person and actor, I think she just liked the fact that he has a famous Daddy
Me: I was also in the Ms Lally good books, maybe it's because I was trustworthy with the art room staplegun, maybe not we'll never know.

5. Do do do dobedobe do.
She used to have us sing that as we warmed up before drama, it was always fun, but one day daragh k arrived and the look on his face as we started was priceless, especially as he tried to grasp the complex lyrics.

6. Hooty
It was either Daragh K. Or Paul who informed her that in the 4h class she was referred to by the loving nickname Hooty McBoob, on account of her adequate bosom, when she didn't take so kindly to it Paul I think suggested Chesty Leroo instead, or perhaps Busty St. Clair. She the prompty left.

7. My name isn't Aoife.
Before Easter she gave out her e-mail address which I believe was and may still be aoifemlally... after easter some called her Aoife, and she tried to convince us that despite her email address her name was not aoife. Her name was Aoife.

8. Abusing Daragh Mc
I don't know why she felt it nessecary to have daragh being a cross dressing ballerina goose for Charlie and the chocalate factory, but she did, and it was quite funny.

9. MAchine.
One day she quit the play, because we spent a solid 10 mintues pretending to be a machine,

Any other Ms Lally stories are greatly appreciated because I couldn't remebmer any, and there is a prize for any one who can track ehr down.

NEXT WEEK: Ms CAssidy

Why I admire adults.

Now I'm no child, but nor am I however a grownup, but I am at a stage in my life where i realise what grownups have to do, but don't know how to do alot of those things. Here are a few.

1. Nutmeg: A popular spice used in a variety of dishes, but where does it come from, I know I never bought it. I imagine you can by it in superquinn or Tesco's but first of all how do you know when you'll need nutmeg, and where in the supermarket do you get it, and how much is it? I have to admit not having a great amount of nutmeg knowledge.

2.TV Licences: I love TV, but did you know here you need a license to have one. Most people knew that I'd guess, but I wouldn't know how to get a new one or how much they cost or anything like that at all.

3.Directions: Grownups know where everywhere is... I wouldn't have a clue to how to get to Knobber, Clara, or the CAymen Islands

4.Dishwasher: Imagine this scenario, you have never had a dishwasher in your house and would like one, there is no plumbing in place for one... who you gonna call? I don't know but a grownup would.

5.Irons: When exactly do you know you need a new iron? And how much do they cost?

6.The good old days. With out grown ups I may never have known about the good old days where Girls wore skirt of respectable length, music was not dominated by crap, and and the EU was called the EEC.

7.Stamps Ok I do know where you buy stamps, either in Centra or a post office. However I don't know how much a stamp is, and a grownup always know exactly how much it is to send a letter to any particualr country.

8.Mice Chances are most people have had mice in their house at some stage. What do you do when that happens? Run and scream like a girl? No you simply set a trap... but how?

9.Taxes I know what they are i just dont know how to do them... do you?

10. Bin tags, the other dayI had to buy a bin tag... I didn't know where to start. The cost 6 euro as well which is annoying.

11. I couldn't think of one but a grown up could.
