Smoking

Years ago, a friend of mine was involved in politics. A particular columnist wrote a rather nasty piece about her. At the office everyone was talking about what she should do and say, and no one was listening to me. The phone...

Money Saving

When I was at UWI in Barbados it was far from 'civilisation'. It wasn't a matter of not having money, it was that we couldn't get to the supermarket easily. If there wasn't a fellow student to drive us, we had to the take a bus...
