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.

    You are not safe to be let out by yourself.  You can't even blame it o­n a bus this time.  Slow down Kelvin, we all still need you, don't you know!   Guess you must be feeling pretty sore today.  Take it easy!  Get the cat to look after YOU for a change!!!

    Perhaps you should go to the nurse again to have your blood pressure checked – just in case you’ve sprained your ankle again!!

    I think its about time you invested in a pair of Doc Marten's.  I have found they are the o­nly footwear which allow me to get down a very steep hill o­n a frosty morning without flashing my underwear unwittingly to passing spectators. And you can get them in purple velvet for Lenten wear!

    The funny thing is, that on both the occasions when I have fallen, I have been wearing Doc Martins. In fact, I was even starting to wonder whether it was the fault of the shoes.

    The purple velvet for Lent idea would appeal more if we wore purple at St Saviour’s for Lent. I suspect that trying to find Doc Martins made out of unbleached linen might be difficult.

  • Cathedrals are growing. But so what?

    I was interested, of course, to look through the press release this week about which churches are growing in the Church of England.
