Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I wouldn't worry about it, I freely admit to being bonkers, there’s no shame in that, some of the biggest nut cases in history held high office, all elected by sane people I might add, we need bonker type people around so we can avoid them and tell ourselves that we are completely sane, as a kind of yardstick, there used to be a stigma about having someone bonkers in the family, if the dad was bonkers then the sons and daughters must inherit a bit of it too. If for example I had an Aunt or Uncle who had spent some time in a bonkery, every time I had a row with the wife she would bring it up, saying something like “Ah there yeh go again, talking rubbish, the very same as your old Uncle Charlie, and we all know where he ended up” Yes it’s very hard to shake it off, best to be upfront and admit it on day one as I did when I first met her “Hello Phyllis, my name is Jimmy and I’m bonkers” we’ve lived happily ever after as they say.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
