    makes all kinds of wire puzzles. he is very comical and is a great favourite with the children. He has all the latest news and pretends to be a great politician. When he visits a house in which the members are Fianna Fáil he is a Fianna Fáil also and when he visits a house in which the members are Fine Gael he is Fine Gael also.
    The last time i met him, he told me he was going to see his wife Mrs Puzzles who was in a Nursing Home in Waterford. We asked him what was the matter with her and he said she went for a drive in a motor with his uncle the priest and she slipped coming out of the car and sprained her ankle.
