Minister Tony Blair is being shown around an Edinburgh hospital in
Scotland. Towards the end of his visit, he is shown into a ward of
people with no obvious signs of injury. He greets the first patient
and the chap replies: "Fair fa' your honest sonsie face, Great
chieftain e' the puddin' race! Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm, Weel are ye Wordy o'a grace, As lang's my arm." 19June01 Life travels at a fast pace; don't watch it go by. 18June01 A "thought a day" gets difficult after a year! 17June01 Something is only right when you do it to your own satisfaction. 16June01 If you go for enough opportunities you end up rich or bust. 15June01 The only place where success comes before work is in a dictionary. 14June01 Nothing is for nothing, except love and friendship. 13June01 Age is relative.
