May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I do think we may have gone full circle now. I am so happy…but more than happy…relieved. In all honesty, the only thing I really regret now (apart from the obvious…) is – taking my Priptona name away. But, I was thinking that, if I had been banished from SMO, I may as well revert…
