CAR PARKS

We went to book our holiday for next year today and was in a supermarket car park in Bearsden and spent a ridiculous 15 minutes trying to get out of it!!! It would put me off shopping there. It's bad enough queuing inside the shop never mind outside. Grrrrrrrr

Anyhow, fed up of the rain. So we have booked up for Gran Canaria next year. After the experience of last year would love to do it all again.

Pam got an email at work about taxi's and refusing to get in ones that promote lap dancing club's etc. Just wondering if that bothers people? Or what other advertising really gets up your nose??

Just started reading a book called "The First Paul: Reclaiming the Radical Visionary Behind the Church's Conservative Icon by Marcus J Borg and John Dominic Crossan." Looks like it will be good but a tad controversial

BREAKING THE 200 BARRIER

I like many people have watched with sadness the news of the casualties in Afghanistan the last couple of months. And sadly they will not be the last.

The men and woman who serve our country do so with incredible bravery. Way more than I could ever imagine. And my hat goes off to them, and their families.

But I sometimes, well, no often, ask what it's all about. This latest push is all about the upcoming elections in the country and how important the 'democracy' is. We in this country would all agree about that. How important that is. But are our men and woman out their fighting to uphold a democracy that would pass laws that would allow:-

"a man to withhold food from his wife if she refuses his sexual demands; a woman must get her husband's permission to work; and fathers and grandfathers are given exclusive custody of children." see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/8204207.stm

What kind of democracy are we settling for????
