It seems like a long time and deters me.
I think it is worth bearing in mind some things that seem to have escaped some posters: Children do not take eight or ten years to starve to death. Neither do they arrive out of their mother’s womb as eight or ten year olds. Also, it is never a bad thing to try and help people who are suffering.
That’s not to say that some of the individual postings haven’t been excellent, in their own right.
What a gloomy racket that Boston tune is.
This thread worries me. I’ve noticed a tendency in what we might call the Celtic nations to sometimes wallow in their own marketing. People often say that it is a failing of the English that they lack one of these myth narrative identities but I think the unwillingness to sign up for one is a strength and a credit to the nation.
My instict is that David Hume has at least as much to offer my sense of Scottishness as Ossian and, even though my family comes from the Highlands, I’m beginning to resent its Walter Scott hijack.
I’m ace at jigsaws. I did one in just a weekend a little while back. It said seven to eight years on the box.
What a revolting spectacle.
Plenty, ta.
I hear this sort of thing all the time, though. People are always saying, ‘Well, what if I wanted to build a church in their country? Eh? Eh? They wouldn’t like like that, would they? Eh? Eh?’ and so on.
Yet some of the most vibrant Christian traditions and some of the most famous churches in the world are in Muslim nations. It’s all very puzzling.
I think it might be because they were presented with a different set of evidence.
Why wouldn’t you be able to buy an Advent calendar in a Muslim country?
