Is Joshua Chapter 3 the one that mentions the Glasgow Underground, or the one relating to Pollokshaws West station?

……so are these priests, bearing the Ark of the Covenant, still tramping around Glasgow, or did they, too, have a destination in mind ? Most fortuitous they met you in your moment of need (Presumably they will not be lodging on the banks of the Clyde on a dull and dismal dricht day like today……….and if they are, hope you’ll take them some warm blankets and fortifying broth on your next trip to cross the water…….)
PS. And are these still the same guys that knew Joshua ?

BirthdayFest #1 – You Never Can Tell
Just back from seeing Mr Shaw’s, You Never Can Tell at the King’s Theatre in Edinburgh. A comedy of manners intertwined with a gentle battle of the sexes never does anyone any harm. Ms Diana Quick presented a most elegantly emancipated dragon; Mr Edward Fox an all-seeing Butler. If anything about the play surprises is…
