with this fella that used to be a priest.

Never been with a woman before in his life.

He was like 34.

And what happened?

I left after the starter.

You didn't really give

him much of a chance.

He was a priest.

Well, you've obviously got high standards.

That's what me ma says.

But I think that's just cos

she has no standards.

When it comes to men.

Your dad not around?

Nah. He left when I was a kid.

My dad died last year.

Sorry.

My mam just started dating again.

She's got like three guys on the go.

You should give her a call.

She might give you some tips.

Yeah, maybe I will.

Westcourt on Friday night?

The two of us could go together.

Dream on.

Your man Ollie that, drives the taxi for

Caffreys, dropped me home.

Asked me out on a date.

He's my age.

I know!

So what? I like him.

You would.

You want advice, Mary?

Get off your high horse

or you'll end up a very lonely girl.

And that one's for free.
