Born 1942 Scotland,near Dockyard/Forth Rail Bridge,so German bombings most nights.When mum died I was 4. Dad remarried shortly after. I loved her as 'mum' as I knew no other. Normal post-war childhhood. 'Nae money, plenty laughs' Left school at 15. Joined army 'Worked ticket' after 2 yrs, It wasn't for me. A couple of dead-end jobs. At 19, emigrated to Oz.(My best move ever) Enjoyed my 19-24 years Footy; Trots; Beaches; Speedway; All combined with Grog of course. At 24, gave all away (except beer, which I enjoyed for a few years more in decreasing amounts, till we had 4 kids, then that went too)to marry the 'Love Of My Life' really enjoyed married life,having 4 kids in total, until out of the blue, my wife floored me with 'I want a divorce' We split/tried again several times, but eventually divorced. A few years later, met/married great young lady. 26yrs on, she left. My life's been very eventful with ups/downs, but it looks as though my relationships not meant to be life-long.
