Colm O'Regan: Men! Can't cut your hair? Just rock the Ted Danson look

All the Irish men of a certain vintage now have big, grey hair; big, bushy, grey clouds that haven't been seen in decades, and certainly none that developed in such a short space of time. 

If we winter this one out, we can summer anywhere. Seamus Heaney only said this the once, in 1972. And then everyone else said it in 2020. Heaney was talking about cattle in winter fields waiting patiently for the next thing to come along. Unfortunately, we haven't read the small print. Winter turned out to mean: Winter, spring, summer, autumn, winter, winter again (if you believe the winter before Christmas to be a different winter to the one after Christmas), and then spring again, because we didn't winter properly the last time.

Meanwhile, 'summer anywhere' now means 'summer anywhere as long as it’s here'.
