RANDOM THOUGHT
A poem for Bill Mayne.


You work the circuit with aplomb, with a smiling heart and vibrant song.
At the birth of a new day you are still standing strong, while many chums have long since gone.
Property was once your shining star, but you perhaps took things a wee bit far.
But the Ulsterman "marches on" to the piper's tune of challenges, renewing and bold.

A business acquired, but no time to rest, this is when you are at your best.

Growth, growth, growth is your mantra strong. Organic? acquisition, that's up to you, but you are on your own "bus" now Bill so drive it true.

Sion, it's a lovely piece that just rolls off the tongue. Have you thought about setting it to music? I can see Kathryn Jenkins belting it out at the Millennium stadium.

She later explained how she dreads passing pedestrians on the trail sporting i-Pods... good to get a cyclist perspective for a change! THE lunchbox: 1 plum 1 organic banana. 4 chicken sandwiches on granary bread 1 Toffee flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt 1 slice of Chocolate Crunch made by Plugs of Trumpton PLEASE don't panic it's only a fire drill! Was feeling rather hungry this morning on the account of being all macho and going to the gym at such an early hour. Chocolate Crunch went first, followed by the banana and then t
