Bitter, disillusioned Dublin man, lately rejected by long-time fiancée, seeks decent, honest, reliable woman, if such a thing still exists in this cruel world of hatchet-faced bitches.

Ginger haired Galway man, a trouble-maker, gets slit-eyed and shirty after a few scoops, seeks attractive, wealthy lady for bail purposes, maybe more.

Bad tempered, foul-mouthed old bastard, living in a damp cottage in the arse-end of Roscommon, seeks attractive 21 year old blonde lady, with a lovely chest.

Devil-worshipper, Offaly area, seeks like-minded lady, for wining and dining, good conversation, dancing, romantic walks, and slaughtering cats in cemeteries at midnight under the flinty light of a pale moon.

Optimistic Mayo man, 35, seeks a blonde 20 year old double-jointed supermodel, who owns her own brewery, and has an open-minded twin sister

You better set your sights younger or older, methinks the 20-year-olds have already left, seeker greener pastures (the money kind, not the emerald-isle kind)

Meanwhile, a jar or two of the poteen should have the locals looking more like the ideal

Thanks Ailish, great way to start the week.

How about this one from the LLB:

Know your thermocouple accuracy table, then love me like the fool you are. Geo-sex daddy of the rhodium refining world (M, 62) seeks practically anyone. Anyone at all. I mean it. Please. Anyone. Box no. 17/10

Or this one:

Romance is dead. So is my mother. Man, 42, inherited wealth. Box no. 18/11


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
