I was in conversation with Prof John Curtice about the General Election after the Sung Eucharist this morning.
We touched on what might happen at the election, how a UK government is actually formed, will proportional representation ever happen, will the SNP propose another referendum next year and what it is like being John Curtice in the middle of all this.
The conversation was recorded and is available here:

This calls for Chicken stew (with lots of garlic, ginger and sweetcorn). If you’re too sick to make it – let me know and I’ll sort out a delivery for Sunday.
….surely this should be followed by “Humbug”
You can also suck one help sooth your throat.
A mixture of honey, lemon juice and ground ginger – mix it up thick like a syrup. Don’t scrimp on the ginger.
I know Kelvin, but not about what potions to take, only that it has taken me about 10 days to get fully better from the same thing! Sorry to bring such good news!
I recommend a large hot toddy made with honey, lemon juice and plenty of whisky. It doesn’t do you any good but it makes you feel better!

I often feel a hangover is better than a cold as you’ve done something you enjoy to deserve it
Does a floating biretta have the same effect?
(Don’t tell me – only when it’s snowing)
Well, if it’s the same bug I’m convinced I caught whilst in Glasgow at the end of last month, you have my deepest sympathy.
Now, just in case there is anyone reading this who comes to St Mary’s who hasn’t been around in previous years at Christmas – there’s a job to be done tomorrow that you might not know about and your help would be most appreciated. As a liturgical church we are vigilant about keeping Advent, a time of…
The Advent antiphons begin at this time. They are mystical phrases that are inserted into the liturgy of evening prayer before and after the Magnificat in the days leading up to Christmas. They each have their own plainsong – ethereal music that comes to us from somewhere deep inside the mystery of advent. In St…
Forgive me posting a video two days running. (I’m still quite snuffly, though am hoping to be capable of thought soon). This video is too good not to repost though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZrf0PbAGSk Thinking of a way of conveying the message that is just too good not to pass on. That’s the central challenge of Christian mission,…
I suspect that we don’t have enough acrobats in church these days. Take a look at this video from the Vatican showing us the way forward. I think that you’ll find that there is something for everyone in this video.
