The Catholic Church a ‘Force for Good’?

admin — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 20:14:16 +0000

If there is one thing you should do today it is to set aside 10 minutes of your time to view one of the most eloquently and articulately delivered speeches I’ve witnessed. The subject of the debate, ‘Is the Catholic Church a force for good in the world?’, whilst a topical issue, is not the main one here. It is merely an opportunity to marvel and the wonderfulness that is Stephen Fry. I do not need say any more on the matter, I shall let Stephen say the rest himself…

TV Viewing for the day

So this afternoon started with a bit of Murder She Wrote followed by Diagnosis Murder before moving on to a bit of Midsommer Murders and finished off with a serving of Come Dine With Me. What better way to spend the day?

Robin Hood Tax

Rob the rich to pay for the poor? Many wouldn’t agree I’m sure but what if the rich had just been given a shed load of cash by the poor so that they can stay…well, rich? The latest idea, backed by politicians and charities alike, is to impose a tiny tax on bankers (remember the ones we all bailed out) which would raise billions of pounds a year to help such issues as climate change, poverty, international aid and go some way to solving some of the problems we have here in the UK, for example the struggling NHS and schools.

Sabrina Washington – New Single

Who remembers Misteeq? No, me neither (Alesha who?) but Sabrina Washington is back from the jungle with her debut single, OMG (Oh My Gosh). Putting aside the ‘Rhythm is a Dance’ sample at the start and the fact it sounds like Sabrina is saying ‘Gash’ in the chorus it is all in all a very catchy little number. Good luck Sabrina for the release in March.

So engrossed was I in starting my new blog I forgot to eat. By the time I realised time was pressing on and my stomach was waiting for no man. Hurrah for Spaghetti on Toast. Isn’t it just the simplest, quickest and tastiest bit of comfort food ever created?
