The Irish Times - News Quote

"Sir, - On October 28th I celebrated my 83 birthday and at 8am was sitting in bed having a cup of tea and reading my Irish Times. The phone rang and my son, Aidan, was calling from Melbourne, Australia. He is guitar technician with the rock group, Def Leppard who were on tour.
