My humble opinions end with this, the 412th edition of IMHO. For those of you who are too old to know and too shy to ask, the acronym stands for In My Humble Opinion. For the last seven years and 48 weeks, this column has dictated how my week begins.

Having a virtually unlimited giant canvas where I can write about anything is a bit like a child being left alone in a room full of toys. Over time, however, I inferred that there were some exceptions to this. I should not be too critical (too loudly) about the government or its favourite religion; never directly criticise people whose names begin with A or M; and not say bad things about potential advertisers.
