    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 ?
    PPS. Or did I miss a deeper link, bridging the diolemma ?

    Actually, although I had made plans for a procession of priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant to get me over the river, when I got to the riverbank, I was amazed to find that someone had built a bridge.

    Had not realised this was your reason for crossing the river. I well remember the 75th anniversary of the dedication festival.

    It had not occured to me that the centenary had come round so quickly. Happy memories of growing up.

  • High Mass

    One bright spot in an otherwise rather bleak week at work was to be asked to celebrate a big High Mass for Affirming Catholicism (Scotland) in the summer. It is o­ne of those excellent organisations which I have never quite got round to joining, so is very sweet of them to ask me to join in. (Or perhaps they…

  • BBC v Government

    So, when faced with the choice, whom do I trust more, the BBC or the Labour Govenment.The BBC wins that question hands down.It is terribly sad that there should have been so much fallout from three words (“government probably knew”) broadcast at six in the morning.
