A lot of things have been said – and possibly written, for all I know – about the influence of television on the minds of, like, impressionable children? Yet no one ever talks about the effect it can have on impressionable adults. My old man is a classic example. For the past three weeks, he’s been talking in a sort of, like, low growl, like Aidan Gillen in Charlie, while Hennessy, I’ve noticed, has storted holding his cigors with his wrist all limp, and also quipping a lot, like Haughey’s Tom Vaughan Lawlor sidekick.

“Helllooo, Kiiicker,” the old man goes when I open the door. “I’d like to ssspeeeak with Sssorcha, if I maaay.”
