What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Tales of the City #9

    The scene is Great Western Road, at 10 am – just after morning prayer. A street cleaner in a council jacket runs down the street hollaring at me after morning prayer

    Street Cleaner: “Oi, oi!”

    I turn wondering what I’ve done.

    Self: “Um, yes?”

    Street Clearner: “Was it youse that was in the paper? It was, it was youse”

    I wait expecting a stream of Glasgow invective.

    He’s referring to this piece in the Herald.

    I think this is a great idea. I’d love to be there but can’t. Will you publish answers to some of these answers on the blog? That would be great.

    I’m sorry to have missed this though I think Owen’s still a bit young for it (i.e. it’s hard enough to keep him going through a short Eucharist, much less a slow one – plus, you know, bedtime and all that) but I hope you’ll do it again sometime!

    As we read Luke?s gospel chunk by chunk each week at the moment, it is clear that there is a deteriorating relationship. Relations between Jesus and the Pharisees seem to get worse week by week. He seems almost to be antagonistic to the Pharisees in everything that he says and does. He is rude to…
