I've been to Nigeria a lot, and you get a lot of articles like this. There is still a lot of believe in witch craft etc, and many still think it goes on. But this one is pretty absurd. The reporting in the papers is laughable at times. The last time I was there I was reading the local paper in the hotel, and the headlines where "Fatal Accident" then went onto to say fortunately no one was killed.
I have now been asked so many times if I remember where I was when Diana died that I'm beginning to think I'm a suspect.
I Can't remember. But I can remember where I was when Otis Redding died. Still trying to come to terms with it.
No. The sudden extra things might make someone else unhappy. And I couldn't live with that. December will be the 50th anniversary of the passing of Otis. Remember it clearly. Embarrassing to think that in those days I used to think how does my mum and dad remember things from so long back. You know, trivial things all of 25 years back like getting bombed in the war, being sunk by torpedoes twice. Even more so my grandad's memories of WW1. Which still had nearly a year to run 50 years before Otis died. Funny how time slips away...as someone once sang.
True. I always tend to underestimate how long ago something was. As a youth, a year seemed a lifetime away. I think it was Ghandi who said "Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes."
That is as accurate as the one earlier about Johnson saying if you are tired of football you are tired of life.
