What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Predictions for 2019

    1. 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).
    2. 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.
    3. No progress towards same-sex marriage in the Church of England, despite much clearer calls for it to happen.
    4. Significant concerns in many UK dioceses about the cost of bishops, and particularly their spouses, attending the Lambeth Conference in 2020. (Over £5000 each).
    5. Elizabeth Warren / Beto O’Rourke begin to emerge as the Democratic dream ticket.
    6. Stricter legislation in connection with drone operators.
    7. Steps towards legalisation of cannabis  under serious consideration within SNP.
    8. No referendum on Independence.
    9. Cyber attacks merging with terrorist attacks
    10. One of Scotland’s daily newspapers ceases print publication.

    Re: Voting

    I am NOT voting o­n Thursday either. But that's probably because I'm an American and there's no election here o­n Thursday. But I have a feeling that if I were a British subject, I would be a libdem. We're over here o­n the prairie making a spectacle of ourselves because former president Reagan has left the building. The poor man was 93 years old and died of Alzheimer's disease. I actually heard a newsperson refer to his death as  ” A Tragedy.”That was very bizarre. I am so glad to find this Blog. I was referred by the Passways who are friends of your family. We are frequent visitors to Scotland. We (Brad and I) are good ol' ECUSA here in Oklahoma. I am signing off to watch THE FUNERAL events o­n TV as the proceedings are being shown o­n every network. If it's true as some Americans believe that President Reagan was God's gift to the USA, I expect he'll be putting in a reappearance o­n the 3rd day and I don't want to miss it.

    Thanks for your comment – glad you like the blog.

    I’m not shedding too many tears for your former president.

    I heard a report that there was support in the US for Reagan’s image to appear on banknotes. Whilst this is a pretty ghastly suggestion, in a way, it is hard to think of a more apt memorial.

  • 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…
