- The UK will begin leaving the EU on 29 March 2019. It will take 10 years to leave, 10 years for it to be evident to the whole country how stupid it was and 10 years to get back in, with none of our current special measures. (Hope this prediction doesn’t come to pass but fear it will).
- The only thing to make EU-positive lefty-liberals to have pause for thought will be the EU Elections in May which will result in big gains for the so-called populist right.
- No progress towards same-sex marriage in the Church of England, despite much clearer calls for it to happen.
- Significant concerns in many UK dioceses about the cost of bishops, and particularly their spouses, attending the Lambeth Conference in 2020. (Over £5000 each).
- Elizabeth Warren / Beto O’Rourke begin to emerge as the Democratic dream ticket.
- Stricter legislation in connection with drone operators.
- Steps towards legalisation of cannabis under serious consideration within SNP.
- No referendum on Independence.
- Cyber attacks merging with terrorist attacks
- One of Scotland’s daily newspapers ceases print publication.

I have had Garlic Mash three times in the past week, and Garlic and Horseradish on a steak last night.
I do not have a cold, so maybe it will work for you – or at least act as a preventative when am next at St Mary’s.

Kelvin, have you tried mulled wine?
Sachets with the mulling spices in them shouldn’t be too hard to get hold of (try Peckhams). They look like little teabags. Add a dash of orange juice, maybe float a slice on top as well. : )
It might not do much for your cold, but at least it’ll help you sleep, which is what you need right now — rest and fluids.
Also worth trying is a Hot Toddy.
Hope you feel better soon.

Garlic’s not a bad idea. I’ve always found if I have a hot, garlic soaked, curry when I’ve got the lurgy I feel better.

What you need is a hot curry followed by a hot bath!
This man cold of yours is lingering on a bit or are you “milking” this illness??!!

What is a man cold? Don’t women get them too?
-
It seems to be a widely held view amongst women that men make much of their sufferings when they get a cold.
There is an urban dictionary definition here.
There are some who say that the female equivalent of a mancold is the flu, but I could not possibly comment.

If Ms Asphodeline is fed up of hearing about my poor state of health, presumably it will be quite a while before we hear anything about her own on livejournal.

Haha, you know I’ll probably get the office lurgy now?!
I hope you feel better soon. There’s nothing worse than a man

The Archbishop of Canterbury is not a Pope
There’s currently a petition doing the rounds demanding that the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York make some kind of statement deploring the support the Church of Nigerian (Anglican Communion) has given to recent anti-gay laws. Similar calls have been made in regard to Uganda. I’m refusing to sign it. We should not…

Florence Li Tim-Oi – Celebrating 70 years since her ordination
I’m just off to celebrate a Eucharist because it is a Feast Day – the Conversion of St Paul. The standard, if rather weak, in-joke is that one is going to pray for the Conversion of St Paul rather than simply remember the Conversion of St Paul – not least because Paul had things to…
