I think doing good/bad stem's from man's interpretation of what is a simple doctrine of grace and faith. I think all churches have ballsed up along the way which is why I think a bit of clarity does no harm. I can't imagine Jesus coming back and announcing himself in church. Probably straight down to Tooting Common for him!

Morning Hugenot. I think you have wilfully misinterpreted my admonishment. I know full well that Hugenots suffered religious persecution - that was my point.

Declan, I'm quite sure you don't want a discourse from me on the Hypostatic Union and the Communicatio Idiomatum. Others have covered it in far better style. I was merely pulling you on your 'doing good gets you into heaven' stance. I'm going to make a huge assumption that your user name suggests a Roman Catholic upbringing (very presumptious of me I know). No RC church that I've ever been to would posit that as a serious dogma. Hence my arrogant interjection. Right - where's that biro?

Went to see him - no joy on window front. But what a splendid chap. Place used to be an old dairy and he gave me a tour. And he keeps pigeons! And my grammar's gone to pot.

How dreadful for you. Above advice is correct - take care of yourself and your family. Shock has a nasty habit of rearing it's head again so do look after yourself.

I seem to recall that having asbestos in situ is not particularly a problem. It's when you come to remove it that the trouble starts because the dust is poisonous. If you don't need to disturb it, don't worry.

Saw the chopper on the green. I was told someone had a head injury - don't know how accurate that was.

Belligerent, arrogant and a bit mad is fine by me. It's that island mentality, donchaknow?

Declan, can't let you get away with that. Sorry to divert the thread for a mo. I presume you are referring to Christianity (that ol' book, etc). Salvation is not dependent upon doing good or bad but upon grace - ie, Christ died for us and took the punishment we deserve. You don't have to do anything except believe. Of course, one hopes that accepting this, one will want to then do what pleases God and turn away from sin, but no works of man is gonna get you to heaven (at least according to that book!) As you were.

Caprice? You're not going to start flouncing again, are you?

Do it afterwards and they can have beer jelly - that will keep the nippers quiet.

I certainly think Hugenot's been unfair to lizards.

Shame on you Hugenot. You bear a name that screams out for the rights of religious freedom and belief. If you don't believe in God - fine. No need to take the piss out of those that do. [i'd fold my arms, but I have tennis elbow.]

I will try - cheers.

Don't forget Alan Rickman playing a moody cello in Truly Madly Deeply too. V. sexy instrument.
