TIME has changed my perception of what is our destination and purpose in life.
May I offer a peace offering to all my critics? Steve Thompson gladdened my heart at his teasing acceptance of my renowned sense of humour. Jeff Adams had his say in his lengthy monologue of his personal opinion on the monarchy. I fell asleep after the first two lines, awakened by my cat Korky meowing for his dinner.
However, to be honest, what would our country be without the freedom of the press? Remember the old adage, “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me.”
When I brought my first girlfriend back to meet my parents, I proudly announced, “This is Amanda”. My father, a born and bred Glaswegian, interpreted this as, ‘A man’, Da’. He didn’t speak to me for six months.
