………. on the other hand –
– is it possible, only slightly possible maybe, that this display of immoral behaviour is a consequence of having females ordained as priests???
Some of you may recall that when females were originally eligible for ordination, there were many voices amongst the priesthood who expressed grave comcern.
Now we have…[Read more]

What swines the Church Ecclesiastical Court are …. but you may well be right Esme. The female deputy (Elaine Northern) only got 12 years as well whereas her male partner (James Tipp) got a lifetime ban. Hmmmmm.
That said, we may have uncovered evidence of ageism here as well. James Tipp was 63 so a 12 years ban would have made him 75 …. long…[Read more]

As for ‘bon bon’ – anybody seen hide or hair of her recently???

Would that it were true Esme – but sadly we shall be stuck with the lovely Gordon and his assortment of advisors for some time to come – or at least until we are all bankrupt.

ForumHostPB replied to the topic Global Warming Update. in the board Getting serious 17 years, 4 months ago
It’s not considered fashionable – indeed it’s verging on heresy – to be a “global warming denier”.
However, I am instinctively uneasy when the ‘great and the good’ involve themselves in enormous gabfests and worldwide agreements, conferences etc etc to collectively moan and groan about the state of the planet etc. (i.e. Kyoto to name but a…[Read more]

ForumHostPB replied to the topic A tribute to Sara Payne in the board Getting serious 17 years, 4 months ago
I agree with you on this Bat (SHOCK !!!! HORROR !!!) – it’s a fine idea in principle but in practice it probably wouldn’t work.
I am somewhat torn between the two positions personally. As the father of a young daughter, I would naturally want to be aware of any threats to her well being (in the form of locally residing paedophiles for example).…[Read more]

I agree, she is a brave and determined woman….. but do you really think that a “Sarah’s Law” could work???
Or do you think that it’s a fine idea on principle but would rapidly be abused ???

ForumHostPB replied to the topic Israel At It Again in the board Getting serious 17 years, 4 months ago
The current number being quoted today is 443 killed and 2050 injured. It was also said that in spite of this Hamas had kept on firing rockets and mortars into Israel and were now threatening to commence a campaign of suicide bombings.
So roughly 330 or so killed were actually Hamas terrorists – bet you won’t see too many of their funerals eh???

Be fair Bat – they aren’t allowed to wear dressing gowns or pyjamas though.
BTW the slippers are worn to protect the nice new carpets from getting dirty in wet weather. Not too unreasonable eh?
Many primary schools allow their children to do this – but that…[Read more]

Yup i spotted that as well Bas. Quite ironic isn’t it?
So if the Israelis say they have had enough of being constantly bombarded by rockets and mortar fire (by Hamas terrorists) for month after month and finally decide to put a stop to it ….. they are branded ”wrong” by the largely left leaning Media.
