• Overheard in the Bookshop

    The scene is a very busy bookshop. A bepigtailed elderwoman protagonist approaches the information desk. She pauses for a moment and then asks…

    “Excuse me, Religion is…?”

    Her bearded interlocutor pauses for a moment and then replies….

    “Religion is in the gold room, just up the stairs.”

    He pauses once again, and then asks, “Or were you looking for a more esoteric answer?”

  • Tie a yellow ribbon

    I cannot find my ECUSA Hymnal ie the hymn book that they use in the States. I’ve been through my bookshelves twice, but cannot find it. I wonder whether I have loaned it to someone. In the course of looking for it, I did discover my American BCP and the two psalters, Anglican Chant and…

    “You can't marry him Emma, we've got to tell him what happened, and if you won't tell him, I will.”Oh for goodness sake! As if life were not hard enough for the world without another love triangle and disrupted wedding in the Archers. Who ever thought of a radio soap opera anyway – it will…

  • Viruses

    My internet supplier is warning me repeatedly today of attempts to send me e-mails containing viruses. I normally just delete these as a nuisance and ignore then, but I did notice that the e-mails in question apparently eminate from someone with an ednet account. Now, I don’t know many people with ednet internet accounts, but…
