Since the arrival of e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and other forms of communication such as Skype, WhatsApp, Viber and the likes, it’s nigh on impossible to lose touch with someone you know these days.

Try telling that to Barry from Lancashire, however, who lost touch with an Irishman named only as Jacko and has reached out to the classified ads section of The Countryman’s Weekly for help…

 

It’s a pity Barry happens to be looking for someone who has a name, or a nickname, belonging to quite a lot of people around these parts, but it would be a travesty if such a brilliant ad doesn’t end up fulfilling its purpose. Father Ted creator Graham Linehan is amongst the many to have retweeted it already so here’s hoping.

Spread the word people…
