In a column written for the Irish Independent, singer Sinead O'Connor writes that she considered signing up for a dating agency to find a man but knew that if she did, it would end up all over the media.

Instead, it looks like she decided to put her man-hunt in the papers herself, describing her ideal mate in the column, and even including an email address for those interested in applying to be her soul mate.

The 44-year-old O'Connor says she is looking for a man who is "snuggly."

Her other criteria include:

"Must be living in Ireland but I don't care if he is from the planet Zog."

"Must be blind enough to think I'm gorgeous."

"Stubble is a non-negotiable must. Any removal of stubble would be upsetting for me."

"Leather trouser-wearing gardai, fire-men, rugby players, farmers and Robert Downey Jnr will be given special consideration."

Men who are out of work, under the age of 44, or named Brian or Nigel need not apply.

Sinead also lays it out there in her need for sex.

"I recently read of a woman in America who married and regularly humps her truck. I don't yet own a truck but I'm beginning to understand her head space. And am worried I too may be so desperate for sex that within days I might run up the road and hump Bray Cabs' whole fleet of cars in one hour. Forty quid clear-up afterward. Can't say fairer than that. Except maybe a photo for their website. Which'd be fine.

My situation sexually/affectionately speaking is so dire that inanimate objects are starting to look good, as are inappropriate and/or unavailable men and/or inappropriate and/or unavailable fruits and vegetables,." she wrote.

I understand that she is a priest in the celtic church, who were taken over by the catholics about a thousand years ago, around the same time as the RC church introduced celibacy. Assuming they are modelled after the original lot, their priests wouldn't have been celibate, although they also wouldn't have been women!

It appears the woman in the above video swallowed Sinead O'Connor whole... because it sounds like her. What the F happened to her? Wow... talk about not aging well. She needs to go on a diet for six months, then look for a man... she won't need to look then, they'll find her no problem.

I think it's waht is called 'primal screaming'...maybe a little too avant garde for more conventional tastes... but that's what separates the artists from the common herd... any way must get back to my research...!

I wouldn't touch that witch with a 10-foot Pole. Maybe a 6-foot latvian however. I still believe she's like the rest of the Irish bohemian culture, artesty over-the-hills. Bisexual!

Thanks, murphia! Your litcritter anecdote restored my sense of reality (yeah! we really do exist!). I've been walking up and down, back and forth, alternately muttering under my breath "Domine, non sum dignus" and "Cogito, ergo SUM" ever since I read today that the Cathedral in Phoenix, AZ evicted its female altar servers. Imagine it! Fury and outrage and disbelief! Little boys won't want to be priests, the pastor says, if they don't have the full stage of the altar, so girls must give it to them! Isn't there some seanfhocal to the point that men, can't live with 'em and can't live without em? .... Oh right, that's tea, not men! I'd like to invite you and Sinead in for a cuppa and a good howling session.

eiriamach: off topic but thought I'd share this with you following on from our conversation about teachers who push their students to achieve their intellectual potential... For the first time since I was an undergraduate I thought of a poetry literary criticism assignment I given...I thought of it day and night at the time and eventually having cracked the 'code' or so I thought I submitted my essay...my best efforts were returned with the withering comment 'what about St Thomas Aquinas'...? It was a Damascene moment in my intellectual development...this is what I mean about good teachers pushing their students to achieve their potential...!I haven't thought of it since...until today...don't ask me why...but for some reason I remembered this experience...but get this...it came up on a University quiz tonight...Spooky..!Told you I was a geeky swot...!
