Captions are not necessarily written by the journalist who writes the piece, however. Often even hacks are puzzled by the unusual slant a catch headline can put on their work. If any editors should ever read this, it's worth recording that I tend to go to the Internet rather than to the mainstream media for news and ideas and I don't tend to think much about age when I read a piece that is well presented. Ageism has always been a feature of European society. And it's not correct, I agree. Well done on writing such a clear analysis of your experience, and an apology would be in order.

Well done on writing such a clear analysis of your experience,
and an apology would be in order.

If there is no reference in Thursdays Paper, rest assured I will shout louder! I am hoping some of the ‘Twitters’ who are about early can check the paper and let me know. Darren

Silicon Republic could never be viewed as being anti-blogger - if anything, they would be pro-blogger. Hey, that's where they get a lot of their news after all. Being ageist is another matter. Anyway, if there is to be an apology, it shouldn't be from Silicon Republic only, but from both parties.

Weird. Just exactly what is weird anyway? Something not conforming to one's idea of regular? I could go on and on but won't (this time). It pisses me off everytime I hear it. One of the reasons I emigrated to Canada was that I lost my job on marriage. A damn fine one (then CIE) with free travel everywhere. So glad to see in today's world in Ireland I would keep it.....
