I’d like to give the world a hug to keep it company

With Random Huggers Day approaching, Joe McNamee had mixed luck when he tried to get into the spirit of things on the streets of Cork.

EARLIER this year, I was dispatched onto the streets by my editor to dispense random compliments to all and sundry and a most terrifying experience it proved to be.

This Saturday is Random Huggers Day (RHD) and on the principle that there is no fool like an old fool the editor looked no further than this particular fool for another public humiliation.
