IT’S an enormous day. A momentous one, and one for which I, and many of us, were not prepared. I’ve always wondered what it would feel like. I pictured celebrations in city squares, hugging strangers and downing pint after pint after pint as those responsible,...
APRIL 12, 1986. It was 30 years ago today. There were many things wrong with this day and they were all my fault. Every single one. No one else’s. I could point to many things – maybe my feng shui was all over the place or my chakras weren’t balanced or something, but...
MARILYN Monroe once said: “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” I’m not sure if she employed second sight and an interest in the 2015-16 league season, but her words do seem to...
