 | | All this biography is couched in marvellous Nicol wit, as befits a three-time winner of the Stephen Leacock medal for humour. | | | In the last quarter of the book, the humour grows much darker, as Nicol copes with aging, rejection, marriage breakup, and the horrors of seeing a play of his performed, or butchered, in New York. | | | "There is a whole new context of humour now which seems to be a bit on the blue side," says the 78-year-old three-time winner of the Stephen Leacock award for humour. |

| | Answered by Nicol Stephen (24 January 2005): We hold regular discussions with Tay Road Bridge Joint Board on a range of issues, and are aware that the board is considering the possible relocation of the tolling booths as part of a range of measures to improve toll collection and reduce congestion at the bridge. | | | Answered by Nicol Stephen (26 November 2004): As part of the current Tolled Bridges Review a range of tolling options was looked at for each of the tolled bridges in Scotland including for the Tay Road Bridge both increasing and removing the tolls. | | | This is because type 1 diabetes begins at an earlier age (usually 10 to 12), is more difficult to control, and carries a much higher risk of complications (partly because of duration). |

| | In a Parliament debate on Fife rail services Liberal Democrat transport minister Nicol Stephen came in for strong criticism from Mid Scotland and Fife MSP, Mark Ruskell, over the Executive's contradictory and incoherent transport policies, which continue to prioritise expensive roads and motorways, at the expense of the environment and improvements to public transport. | | | Speaking after the debate Mark Ruskell expressed his disappointment at Nicol Stephen's failure to respond to the issues he had raised. | | | All politicians in Fife must choose whether to support motorways, such as the M74, and a second Forth road bridge--which would be a vast waste of money that will only increase congestion and generate more climate wrecking pollution. |
