Thought for Today:
"On Wednesday I saw some snake charmers in the Main Square of Marrakech, but none were able to charm me half as much as my beloved Sheila Forde. I even had my photograph taken when a Moroccan uninvitingly placed his performing monkey on my shoulders and then on my head. When the photo had been shot, the Monkey Man demanded 400 Dirhams off me (approx £40) for a service I had not asked for. I refused to fall victim to his Moroccan 'Monkey business' and offered him 30 Dirhams saying, 'Take it or call the police.' Naturally, he took the money and went about his 'monkey business'. It later dawned on me that my new bride Sheila was born in the year of the Monkey, and perhaps I'm meant to have a monkey on my back for the rest of my life!" William Forde, November 15th, 2012.
