Creationists sell Darwin's book 11:58am on 08 Oct 2009 I wonder if Ray Comfort will also be giving away a banana free with every copy of the Origin?
Ted Haggard: the fight-back continues 11:48am on 24 Sep 2009 As The Police, Spandau Ballet, and of course The Rolling Stones etc have shown, there's plenty of money to be made in a comeback. Too cynical?!
'I've been outed,' says Moderator-designate 07:45am on 09 Apr 2009 I'd hoped that someone had outed him for previously being a woman. That might explain a lot
Praying for Barack Obama 12:33pm on 20 Jan 2009 I quite liked the prayer though with some reservations largely related to its asking God to do things. I do not, of-course, believe that God either hears or answers prayers, rather that prayer allows us a perspective shift and opens our mind and being to the power of God.

"Personal prayer is a means of talking to ourselves in the medium of God; public prayer is a means of talking to others in that same medium.

Prayer removes us from the immediacy of our own concerns or the concerns of the church, state or world which engage our attention. In God we find a different context for our hopes or fears, a deepening of our joy and the possibility of an easing of our pain, we view our worries sub specie aeternitatis and we touch undifferentiated love."

Portwyne, this is one of the best explanations of prayer I've heard in a long long time. Thanks
I love Jesus but ... 10:37am on 20 Jan 2009 Gladys is brilliant!

She beats Nolan's Essie hands down
Blueprint gets a nomination 4:37pm on 14 Jan 2009 Congrats to you and the team Will. It was a great series and deserves recognition. Hope you do well.
Who's your Person of the Year for 2008? 2:16pm on 16 Dec 2008 John Shuttleworth for his services to the humble sausage roll
Ted Haggard breaks his silence 02:00am on 15 Nov 2008 I don't want to appear cynical, but as Ted Haggard has lied all along about events in the past there is a chance that he's lying about the abuse.

Of course it may be true, and if it is then he deserves nothing but sympathy. It equally may not be true.
Gore Vidal explains "the facts of life" to David Dimbleby 8:44pm on 05 Nov 2008 Somebody was hitting the Night Nurse a bit early!

Poor David is normally dealing with people (politicians) keen to avoid the truth. Here he got Gore Vidal skirting around the fringes of reality.
The joke that went too far 09:50am on 02 Nov 2008 "This could not have happened 30 years ago"

This is a strange comment to make as 30 years ago the Black and White Minstrel Show was at its height and Love Thy Neighbour, with its references to "nig-nogs" was broadcast on ITV.

Where were the 30,000 Daily Mail readers then?

And I didn't see the Daily Mail launching a campaign to remove the recently erected statue of Les Dawson in Lytham St Annes! Wasn't he the fellow who told the "my mother-in-law is so fat" jokes?! But of course misogyny was acceptable 30 years ago, after all, it was just a joke.
