I’m hoping a village somewhere in England is planning a Rather Super Rounders Match tomorrow, with livestream, and the parish notices at half time…. Why watch foreign substitutes?

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Mr T being crass and outrageous. Not unusual, but still shocking. Of course, he knows that. That’s why he does it.

Things to Remember Tonight: 1. Keep pets inside and play classical music to hide the noise of bagpipes. 2. Keep your haggis in a tin and only take it out when you plan to read a poem to it. 3. Never go back to a lighted haggis. 4. Burns should be run under cold water immediately.

Might as well ask to protect weavers from the spinning jenny! Copyright has served us well. But it’s time to find a new model to pay creatives.

Hope Mr T doesn’t go to a church using a lectionary on Sunday. He might not like Jesus’ words quoting Isaiah in Luke 4.14-21. Poor Mr T.

If you’re upset by a woman prophetically speaking truth to power, allow me to introduce you to Jesus’ mom: “God has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. God has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.” -Luke 1:52-53

Apparently the Americans are getting a new President tomorrow. Won’t be watching. Don’t care. Four years and counting….

Just muted the word “Trump”. I feel better now.

Given the craziness of these days, it wouldn't entirely surprise me if Liz Truss now moved to Cornwall to join a band of friendly pirates

Watching the Concert, by long tradition. Wondering why, after all these years, the @Vienna_Phil still only has a tiny number of women playing. #NewYearConcert #Vienna

Today is officially a (very rare) Day Off Church. Looking forward to family gathering today.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. Repost if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Just led my last school Carol service of the season. It’s so good to see local schools with strong music education and very talented kids singing and playing music. Something every school child should be able to do.

@drjaninaramirez.bsky.social excellent session at #HistFest this afternoon - thank you and your colleagues. As one who habitually wears black, you certainly weave history and poetry in vivid colours!

In more positive vein, I loved showing our local Beaver scouts around @AllSaintsHW - they were full of energy and great questions - eg ‘why did Jesus have to be born?’ 😦 But then a lovely calm quiet as I prayed with them and for them at the end. At parish level, it is well.

If that disgusting racist and grifting liar Nigel Farage shouldn't have been on Question Time even once, nevermind 38 times. Give this a Like, or better yet a RP.

The Advent Carol service is one of my favourites in the year. O antiphons, great hymns, lovely carols, and the spellbinding powerful Magnificat. Just great. Advent Lessons and Carols youtube.com/live/dNaxoYv...
