Circumstances. Lets just say that all the women in my life are ganging up on me, though they don’t know it. Just when everything seemed to be going so well for a change…
ETA: To which I add, never try to help people who haven’t asked for it, because you will always screw things up even […]

Saint Alban was a pagan soldier in the Roman Army stationed in Britain. His exact background is unknown, […]

Nevertheless…
In Flanders field the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To […]

A Cliff Richards song that hit #1 at Christmas a few years ago. Somehow I prefer it to Mistletoe and Wine.
Well that’s me done for the year now. Assuming I don’t die from gluttony over christmas, I’ll be back in the new year with more… um… whatever it is I do around here. Merry christmas […]

I spoke too soon! Charles has another post up, imaginatively titled Answering the Vlaams Belang Apologists, where he again claims that VB, others et al are extremists based on the words of, an, um… marxist. Yes. Because they’re so trustworthy in identifying “right wing extremism”.

I’ve been hearing a lot about scotland wanting to be independent again, the most recent being a link from a comment on this post at BBC-Biased.
Flags are a vague sort of hobby for me. I’ve done the EUSSR and I’ve done a few others. They speak about a country. It was an interesting exercise to […]

I recently read a prediction that this generation would be the first to attain extreme longevity, if not immortality, and that some people reading the article in question would still be alive in a thousand years.

No longer drink water exclusively, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach - 1 Timothy 5:23
Alcohol played a large part in the life of the early church and, protestations of certain denominations and other […]

I got “tagged” recently by Canker (whom I think I’ll start reading) but I must confess I don’t normally take part in such games. It’s not that I’m one of those dreadful people who thinks anything fun or entertaining is “populist” and therefore beneath them. Far from it. U used to be pretty good at […]
