The same methods, pretty much, were used to sell lots in Florida in the 60s. They were sold in magazines, half an acre at a time, and would not see roads or utilities for another 30 years. I know because my mother bought 2 such lots and when we retired to Florida, she traded them in for a deposit on a real house on a real road. It all worked out.

I was driving so Michael twittered some words in response. A BBC reported contacted me for an interview but it was during the match and he couldn’t hear me. Someone twittered that he went out on treble 12 and double 13 but I had to reply and put him right that Jocky would have gone out on treble 10 and double 16. I remember that Jocky was on a televised 9 darter and just wired double 18 with his 9th dart. As I recall, it would have won him a house and eternal fame as the first person ever to hit a televised 9 darter, That fame of that everlasting record of course was subsequently achieved by John Lowe. Funny thing is that I have only ever hit one 9 darter myself and that was about 35 years ago in Kirkcaldy ....against Jocky!. Dave Whitcombe was right, that 'falling off the stage incident' didn't happen (it nearly did but not quite, so people exaggerate). Mind you I saw him fall over a few times in the old days. And one other thing that people won't know is that the first time Jocky appeared on TV he was wearing a pair of my shoes. He came into the pub a couple of nights before and showed us that the shoes he was wearing (his only pair) both had great holes in the soles and so did his socks as you could see his bare and rather black feet through the holes, bless him. I said that it wouldn't matter as nobody would see the soles of his shoes on TV but he was worried that something might happen (like him fall over) and the whole world would see how poor and underprivileged he was (he was unemployed at the time and had been for some time). I lent him a pair of decent black shoes and he did wear them even though they were one or two sizes too big for him .. but the good news is, he won! I read the write up in the times today and, as expected I suppose, it described some of the down side of his time of fame and it brought it all back to me, and more. The general public will probably only remember the fun side of his antics on TV etc so I will try to keep to remembering him for those times. After all he did bring something new to the televised sport at the time - fun and laughter, be it a little over the top sometimes. RIP wee man.

The documents in fact prove that Straw and his senior colleagues believed they had been told by MacAskill that the Scottish government was prepared to deal over Megrahi. I've spoken to a lot of the people named in the cabinet office papers and they are absolutely unequivocal about this. But when I have asked the Scottish government to publish the minutes of the important conversations, they have declined, for all their bluster about being open. And MacAskill, like Salmond, in a Channel 4 interview with Jon Snow, refused to say that Straw was a liar in this matter.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496451637223875493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692520545176324012.post-66809660337829727232011-09-01T07:19:52.583+01:002011-09-01T07:19:52.583+01:00The documents from Jack Straw proved no such thing...The documents from Jack Straw proved no such thing.

I spoke to you 2 years ago about another great interview which you had conducted with Candia. The reason I contacted you then was that I too suffer from the dreaded blepharospasm which arrived into my life in early 2009, and has trampled all over it and me without mercy ever since. Like Candia, I also led an extremely stressful life prior to getting blepharospasm and like Candia I had also taken the alcohol route at one stage in my younger years. Everything about this disease is so frustratingly obscure and inexplicable which is, I believe, partly why it's so difficult to accept and deal with. As a writer and a freelance journalist, and a divorced mother of three, I smiled when I read about her flirtation with the idea of arranging some sort of 'accident' so that she wouldn't become a burden to her children...but then decided that she couldn't leave them wondering and suffering that pain. I've visited that place in my head too...often. As with Candia, the botox option which is the standard medical treatment for holding the eyelids open does not work for me most of the time. However I've made up my mind that I am going to find a cure for this soon...or die in the effort, and I have written about this in my blog recently. I would love to get in touch with Candia but also respect her deep need for privacy...another thing we seem to have in common is the Boo Radley tendency. However, if you are still in contact with her I'd be grateful if you would give her my contact details. In this interview Mike, you have really captured the horror of this illness and shades of the extreme courage and dignity with which Candia McWilliams deals with it.Rosemary Hannanhttp://offbeatwoman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692520545176324012.post-36542463152597080532010-12-02T10:08:35.423+00:002010-12-02T10:08:35.423+00:00oi met power plant taylor in ah dundee pub bistles...oi met power plant taylor in ah dundee pub bistles av lochee early nineties that night ah saw he was going to be the great.est no one got near him. he told is wizard fay fife broke his mobile dart stand i laughed and said was he pissed .power plant what ah player is it number 16 . jj crook street naughty ferry dundeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692520545176324012.post-74314811533673046812010-08-02T01:07:59.567+01:002010-08-02T01:07:59.567+01:00Awesome. thanks for this Mike.
