• Equal Marriage: BBC Interview

    It should not be long until the Scottish Government comes to its decisions about how to move forward on Equal Marriage in Scotland.

    Two members of St Mary’s, Jaye and Ruth Richards-Hill had a good (and surprisingly long) interview on BBC Radio Scotland yesterday.

    If you are interested in hearing it, you can find it here: http://t.co/85R0zdoL

    The clip starts at 2 hours 31 minutes in – available for another 6 days.

    Thanks Tim. I found google sky already. Indeed, it was one of the things that persuaded me.

    Now I can see the constellations in the city! Indeed, now I can see the constellations in my bedroom.

    SlideIT – easier way to enter text. Good fun, the predictive side of it can be a bit of a pest so do re-read what you’ve written, although there is the facility to go back to simple ABC input.
    Enjoy the ‘phone!

    Nothing to do with phones but I do like the “Want a girlfriend” advertising in the sidebar!

      I’m glad you like whatever you are seeing, Agatha. The ads are served up by a remote server which focusses the ads on the viewer, including whatever you are looking at, where you are and I think also your browsing history.

      Whatever you are looking it is what google thinks should be aimed at you. I see no ads offering girlfriends myself.

    I do hope I’m not the only one getting “Spy on your boyfriend” ads! 😉

    I see no ads, which beats the Scientology ads that I used to see!

    I have nothing to ad because Padre has forbidden it.
