IT WAS achieved with almost military precision. A wall was breached and a platoon of trusted lieutenants and foot soldiers was unleashed on the nation, who were to perform brilliantly under continued fire.

IT WAS the moment a nation came together to show its appreciation to an unbelievably brave group of people faced with an unenviable challenge.

IF YOU'VE been fortunate not to have had restless nights or indeed nightmares during these hideous times, then surely the projected cost of the lockdown to the nation's economy must have resulted in troubled sleep?

AMONG the many foolish vanities to which Mankind subscribes is the belief he can foretell the future. He has been trying since time immemorial. First there were chicken entrails, then animal bones, progressing to the stars, palms, crystal balls, tarot cards and tea leaves.
