Where church and atheists part ways is that atheists are more willing to accept that homosexuality is a trait that people have due to their genes where the church folk tend to take it as an affront to God.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236459315155380910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809146912677894496.post-10614396738126807972009-03-20T18:00:00.000+00:002009-03-20T18:00:00.000+00:00Aha - managed to get my mobile working from the ho...Aha - managed to get my mobile working from the holiday flat on 3G, so I can partake of my favourite habit.<BR/><BR/>Many thankd for all the birthday wishes.

Turn to look at the pub - and - in the side road called Traverse Street - that runs beside the pub - you will see a Black Ford Focus parked outside my house!<BR/><BR/>The house beside ours - to the left - which you can't see because of the vegetation - is owned by a 78 year old lady who is unable to get any further into her house than the front hall because of the amount of "stuff" she has. She lives on her front doorstep in a den made from umbrellas and sleeps on the floor at the foot of her stairs. She does not have electricity or gas because she won't allow a meter reader into her house. Nor does she have water as she will not allow a plumber in to fix the leaking pipe. <BR/><BR/>As the bins are out it must be a Wednesday morning!<BR/><BR/>Richard x x xThe Irascible Fairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10942562221277581272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809146912677894496.post-37455901502119598392009-03-20T11:44:00.000+00:002009-03-20T11:44:00.000+00:00Richard - which car?
