It's quite clear at that point I was talking about the hotel, super-daftee, not the church!:ner::D

Did you click on the link above, and therefore see what I was referring to?

Also, I've no idea where Paisley uni is/was, or what connection it had with folks getting hitched, as I didn't go there. This is the cathedral in Paisley where we were married: https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp...hrome&ie=UTF-8

The service was particularly good because one of my mates from high school (St Mirins/St Margarets in Renfrew Road, only 5 mins away) became a priest, and he ended up marrying us!:)

Answers on a postcard, please.....

Or is it an unwritten rule on forums that your NEVER admit to making a mistake?:doh:

;)

Marco.

Sorry I must have missed a whole page out there somehow. I agree it's not a church.

Lol, no worries, and I appreciate you're acknowledging the error. It's easy for mistakes like that to happen when you're just skimming through stuff - happens to me all the time:)

Well it never happens to me! Btw, what was it like, having your reception in Carol Smillie's church? :)

Bloody hell, I must have missed something - didn't realise that she had been ordained, I thought that I hadn't seen her on TV for a while :)

Ministering to the healthy and wealthy, with their first world problems, she finds quite challenging and time consuming. The rest of the time she's learning to play the organ

she is a humanist celebrant ...

I'm not sure what that is, I assume it's about caring for our fellow man, which most of us do to some degree.

Interesting - I went from there to "Humanist UK", which the blurb says represents "those that seek to live good lives without religion or superstition". So quite close to what I'd guessed, and the opposite to how I see some church-goers, thinking a weekly visit to church somehow makes up for being a shithead the rest of the week. :(

I won't say any more, knowing that religion is one of those 'no go' areas on forums... Just me and thee on here this morning Grant, where is every bugger? :)

Good morning Marco, good of you to join us, we've just been chatting about your mate Carol, say hi from me next time you visit her hotel :)

church?:ner:

religion is a good thing as long as its a good and fair religion, still as you and i say, leave religion for everyone's private concience.
im a film buff i guess more than anything, but music isnt far behind, and intend to stay that way :D.

Where is everyone? Well, we were at church!:D

Completely agree! The idea is to lead a Christian LIFE, based on the morals you were taught and brought up with, so that means 24/7, 365, not simply paying it lip service by attending church once a week (or in some cases worse), once a year at Christmas:doh:

So yes, some of the worst shitheads are those who hide behind the façade of 'being religious'. The worst, I've found, are the most vocal 'God botherers', preaching to all and sundry about how sinful they are, and trying to convert you to their beliefs, while behind the scenes they're up to all sorts - total hypocrites!

Anyone meeting us for the first time wouldn't know we were religious, or Catholics, as we don't discuss the subject with anyone, unless it's relevant.

And that's how it should be imo. :)

As for the bit about how some religious folk think their faith gives them carte blanche to be arseholes, it's not restricted to Christianity of course - historically our leaders have used religion (and (mis)interpreted those writings) to further their own agenda. And not just leaders, it will go all the way down to the pious little bugger who beats his wife every Saturday.

I can easily get quite vocal about this, having an uncle who was the centre of a child abuse/wife pimping church group, and ruined the lives of his wife and three daughters (my cousins). He's currently serving 23 years for that lot, and will die in prison, the bastard :(

Anyway, best not to dwell on it, Anita is about to give the car a clean, and I will help by keeping out of the way :)

Sounds like a total bastard, mate. No wonder the subject raises your heckles... Well done to Anita for cleaning your car - top girl:)

Granty, can you imagine what Del would say if I asked her to do that?:D

Hahahaha... Aye, or just give me 'that look', which says that's YOUR job, not mine! She's much more adept at making a mess, than cleaning it up. Indeed, she excelled herself in that department last week after her sleepover - her and her pals, lol:wowzer::eek::doh:

Took me nearly 3 hours to sort it. Mucky wee pups... I should ban them, really;)

food delivery came.. got it away too.. yup was out back there and its humid

Nice one - 'out back' eh, in the back of the van?:bonk: No wonder it was humid:D

She sounds like a right hottie.. We'll send her round to Macca next!

Outstanding levels of customer care, though... Sainsbury's premier service, with 'added extras', was it?:eyebrows:

Marco.

typical of your filthy mind mate:D no, not an extra... a freebie:ner:

Hahaha... I blame it on someone who lives with me and likes pink fluffy things, and who's a bad influence!:eyebrows:

well we all like pink fluffy things;)

Hahaha... Well she's not long in from work, as she doesn't have any students in until next week, had popped her bikini on and was lying out in the lounger, with a cocktail I'd made for her, until a young chap (delivery driver from Amazon) knocking on the door rudely disturbed her sunbathing...

Don't know who got the bigger 'shock', him or her!!:eek::stalks:

I think it made his day, though;)

Marco.

Second lovely sunny day after weeks of cloud and drizzle, so I have opened the widows on the shaded side of the house - absolutely lovely, until some arsehole in the village lit a bonfire at about two o'clock.

What an inconsiderate shit :steam:

I can't work out where it is coming from, which is possibly a good thing.

flies made into pet food...hmm, that sounds delish:eek:

My cat used to eat spiders so I'm not sure they're that bothered. He'd leave the legs though.

Tomorrow, being the 20th anniversary of 9/11, might just be a day to stay in or at least avoid busy, crowded places and main public transport. I wouldn't put it past some fanatical nut wanting to mark the occasion and security services have no hope of covering all bases.

Went to a weird funeral yesterday seems 'aunty Sheila' wasn't very well liked.

Consensus of opinion was that music for the service should have included 'ding dong the witch is dead' and party poppers were mentioned.

Good turn out though.

:eek:

Although to be fair, I hate it when the gushing eulogy is actually nothing like the person you knew - we're all human, warts and all, and some you will like, some you won't - all part of life's minestrone, but better to be honest about it. RIP Aunty Sheila, nonetheless.

A more pedantic person might infer that your mother-in-law was giving her laxatives and enemas :eek: but I know what you mean :)

My eulogy will be amazing - I'll be writing it myself :)

If they insist on one then much cheaper just to knock your own up out of wood you have lying about in the shed or garage, or finally find a use for those Audionote speakers.

A perfect use for Linn Isobarak speakers. :D

I placed an online home delivery order with Tesco yesterday and noticed a considerable number of items are unavailable at the moment. Looks like the stories about shortages are fueling panic buying.

Supply-chain issues are global right now so they probably really can't get the stock in. Although some panic-buying is probably happening too.

But strangely no panic buying of fuel. Maybe the shortage of lorry drivers is leaving more fuel for the rest of us.
