Identify with most of that and as we say in Norn Ireland. NO SURRENDER AND OUR DAY WILL COME!

I remember the Summer of 1977 - my friends and I worked a Summer Season in Guernsey, beautiful Island back then, and we had a ball.

Apologies for using that word that means fun lol, NOT!

So moving on to the current/near future - the zombie apocalypse. One good thing they won't understand speech at all.

The Declan MacManus album that got my attention was "Spike". Didn't often agree with his politics but my son got the same Christian name.

Spike was great and has the wonderful Veronica on it! I totally don’t agree with his politics either!

Veronica is my favourite of his songs!

What a happy way to be! Settled, well married. Couldn’t be better. We celebrate a Golden Wedding Anniversary this coming October, if we are spared! So many people shook their heads at news of our engagement. They all knew it wouldn’t last….

His own worst enemy, but he cut his nose off to spite his face and am sure he was well aware of it, no matter what was said to the contrary.

That old line lol... Good to prove people wrong, on the right side. Make sure you both have a year to remember in only good ways.

In our case it was true. You’ve no idea the lengths my father went to in order to stop the marriage! He wouldn’t speak to us for 28 years and then it was because he needed help.

Unfortunately it happens too often throughout time.

Had a conversation with my daughter last night on that subject, was saying to her that most of her generation are so self repressed they wouldn't know fun even if it smacked them around the head, she knew exactly what I meant as she said is so boring having to constantly deal with it!
