Born and raised in Ireland , I have been living in France (Paris) since 1984 where I earn my daily bread by teaching English as a foreign language : yes! that's right, there are lots of French people out there speaking with strong Irish brogues, and it's all thanks to me -oh and the other 5000 or so Irish teachers who live here too. I've had several books published in my head and they've all been highly successful. Some of my more famous works include : 'In your dreams!'; 'Get Over Yourself!'; 'Wake up Kiddo!'; 'Get Real! (in three volumes).; 'Obnoxiously Pretentious.' and I'm currently working on my latest masterpiece : 'Who do you think you are kidding?'.
- Despite all the odds, I exist.
