Every so often you catch a smell or hear a phrase that takes you right back to childhood. There's a certain smell of popcorn and coke that brings me straight to 1977 and Star Wars.
Today it was a name, Werner Heubeck, who has just died. His wife died last month and I suspect he couldn't live without her. Even as a child I wondered how a German ended up in Belfast running the buses.
Meanwhile Hilary Clinton is caught lying again, or "missspeaking" as she likes to term it. She claims she stayed in a boarded up, bombed out Europa Hotel during her first visit to Belfast with her husband. Turns out the bomb was two years earlier and there were no bombs. So close, but no cigar.
