    She's known locally as "skippy" and is quite mad. One of her claims to fame is that she 'hates this modern life, specially them aul sausages that do go mouldy after a few days'. So she put them in an envelope and sent them off to Bertie Ahern no less.

    She usually isn't shouting at anyone in particular unless she gets provoked by someone disagreeing with her. Apparently she's been this way for years. In the grand sceme of things she's harmless enough and I have to live near her :eek:

    Skippy definitely doesn't need provoking, she once swung for me when i was six walking home from school holding my mom's hand....
    Although I have met her a couple of times since in 8 till late, she was asking me if i thought the cream she was planning to buy was going to go off before her son came to visit.
    Also she used to come into the secondary school i was in harassing the secretary and caretaker and insisting they gave her homework to someone.
    Other than all this she is mainly harmless and entertaining at times
