DEPARTURES

David Miliband departure from these shores to achieve his "dream job",after losing out on the leadership contest and spending 2 years on the backbenches of Parliament( whilst also watching Sunderland FC as a non-exec director) will no doubt be cushioned by the £280,000 pa salary

Meanwhile in Hull many gathered to say Goodbye to a simple funny man

very well loved sounds like a genuine nice person

bye Norman

EVERYONE had a different memory, but all had a common theme – laughter.

In a fitting farewell to one of comedy’s biggest legends, friends of Norman Collier arrived in droves to pay their respects.

1. ​
   Fitting send-off: Norman Collier's funeral was held at St Helen's Church in Welton.

But rather than bowing their heads in sombre silence, well-wishers entered the church smiling – sharing a joke, re-enacting a line or just remembering the man who made people laugh both on and off stage.

Hull-born Norman died, aged 87, on March 14 at Brough Manor Residential Care Home after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

While his relatives and wife Lucy will remember him as a family man who spread a lot of joy, his friends from the comedy circuit and fans knew him best for his broken microphone, chicken and club chairman routines.

Police investigating the death of a teenage girl mauled to death by a pack of dogs fear it might have to go down as a “tragic accident” rather than a criminal matter.

 

CANNOT BELIEVE THIS SAD NEWS

A YOUNG GIRL ATTACKED AND KILLED BY 5 DOGS

WHO BRED FOR DESTRUCTION

 

Mr Miliband stunned Labour by announcing his decision to swap Westminster for New York and a job heading a refugee charity.

Many Labour MPs greeted the news with sadness, but appreciation that the decision would end the sibling psychodrama that had dogged his brother Ed’s leadership.

In Malta WOW what will Keith think me and Keith along with Lil Chris watched some videos and looked at photos to do with Malta last Thursday the above story is hard to understand...to me anyway

now here is a real Malta story

Mosta bomb miracle
On April 9, 1942, during an afternoon air-raid, a 200 kg Luftwaffe bomb pierced the dome (two others bounced off) and fell among a congregation of more than 300 people awaiting early evening mass. It did not explode. Its replica is now on display inside the rotunda under the words Il-Miraklu tal-Bomba, 9 ta' April 1942 (Maltese: The Bomb Miracle, April 9, 1942).
One version of this event states that, upon opening the bomb, it was found to be filled with sand instead of explosive and contained a note saying "greetings from Plzeň" from the workers at Škoda Works in the German-occupied Czechoslovakia (then Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia) who had allegedly sabotaged its production

big feul prices

Drivers in Britain are now paying more than £100 to fill up their tank, as the cost of petrol has jumped by 5.5% in just two months.

Motorists using unleaded fuel have been hit hardest, with price increases of 7.3% a litre, according to analysis of fuel prices carried out by Santander.

Drivers clocking up 1,000 miles a month now spend £180 on petrol, almost £10 more than in January, said the credit card

The biggest increases have been seen in Paisley, Durham and Hereford, where motorists pay 9% more for unleaded fuel than in January.

Dumfries in Scotland tops the table of the most expensive place to buy fuel in the UK. Prices in the Scottish town average 145.9 a litre, costing owners of vehicles with 70–litre tanks more than £100 to fill up.

Drivers of large family cars Durham, England can also expect to pay over a wallet-busting £100 for a full tank.

Palm monday reflection spiritofthestreets

Man, you should have seen me way back then
I could tell a tale, I could make it spin
I could tell you black was white
I could tell you day was night
Not only that I could tell you why
Back then I could really tell a lie
Well, I'd hire a kid to say he was lame
Then I'd touch him and I make him walk again
Then I'd pull some magic trick
I'd pretend to heal the sick
I was takin' everything they had to give
It wasn't all that bad a way to live
Well, I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell But no one's buyin' what I got to sell   I make my lame kid walk I make a dumb guy talk I'm preachin' up a storm, both night and day But everyone just turns and walks away
Well, I can see that I'm only wasting time
 So I head across the road to drink some wine
This old man comes up to me He says, "I seen you on the street
You're pretty good, if I do say so myself"
 But the guy comes through here last month, he was somethin' else
Instead of callin' out for fire from above
He just gets real quiet and talks about love
And I'll tell you somethin' funny
He didn't want nobody's money Now I'm not exactly sure what this all means But it's the damnest thing I swear I've ever seen
Well, since that time every town is the same
I can't make a dime, I don't know why I came I decide I'll go and find him And find out who's behind him
He has everyone convinced that he's for realWell, I figure we can work us out a deal
So he offers me a job and I say, "Fine"He says I'll get paid off on, down the line Well, I guess I'll string along Don't see how too much can go wrong As long as he pays my way, I guess I'll follow We're headed for Jerusalem tomorrow

As l waited for others to turn up for our meal last evening

l watched a ship at sea.

It was bitterly cold l remembered being at sea in my time always either going to work, or on vacation.

But never been at sea in these cold days how must that feel?

Bet your heart reaches out to loved ones.

Bet you miss them.

But journey one must,  sometimes l do not realise how lucky l am,

l know U

When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no - one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong

I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue and
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
You Know there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change
Are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet

I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love, To make you feel my love

               How about this for an idea?

Promise someone something that will cost you

Adele takes these words of Dylan

Jessie J ( one of my favorite new singers )singer took to Instagram early this morning (March 18) to post a photo of herself and a woman called Amy, who she met a year ago at Make A Wish Foundation, a charity offering aid to people with life-threatening illnesses.

Jessie J Reminds Us Why She Shaved Her Head: 'I Wanted To Do Something That Wasn't Just For Today'

The singer said: "This is Amy kissing my head. A year ago, I met Amy in G.O.S.H with *Make a wish* (A charity for young people with life threatening disease/illness to give them their final wishes) I said i want to do something that could help raise money for charity to help young people like yourself" she said 'Why don't you shave your head? Not many people would expect to see you do that' I said 'yeah ok'."

l say this loud its time for our Arad spring.

WORK and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith says cutting housing benefits for 4,700 low-income households in Hull is "about fairness".
The minister spoke out just days after Labour chose the city to launch a national campaign against the so-called bedroom tax.

"That's why, from April, housing benefit claimants living in social housing with spare bedrooms will be expected to make a contribution towards the rent for those spare rooms.

"I know there's been a lot of debate over this policy and, of course, I understand some people will have concerns.

"This change will bring housing benefit for social housing claimants in line with what happens in the private sector already.

Many people are being forced by IDS to pay this tax from next month along with a percentage of the council tax also  so it's not just this bedroom tax that is going to cause poverty and social upheaval in many areas of the country. The trouble with millionaires like IDS is that they don't excist in the real world, where there is employment and lack of support for people creates a recipe for social unrest.

Children and families will "pay the price" for cuts to the benefits system, the Archbishop of Canterbury has warned the Government.

In his first significant criticism of Government policy, The Most Rev Justin Welby has said the measures will have a "deeply disproportionate" effect on childrenHe is among 43 bishops who have written an open letter condemning the plans.

The comments indicate that the archbishop, who will be formally enthroned at Canterbury Cathedral on March 21, will be willing to enter political debate.
His predecessor, Dr Rowan Williams, was strongly criticised for expressing his views about Government policy.
The Welfare Benefits Up-rating Bill will cap benefit rises at 1% a year until 2016.
The archbishop said the legislation would remove the protection given to families against the rising cost of living and could push 200,000 children into poverty.
He said: "As a civilised society, we have a duty to support those among us who are vulnerable and in need.
"When times are hard, that duty should be felt more than ever, not disappear or diminish.

To God from you.

where all left on a
school prayer wall
just a place where ordinary kidz could leave a message

Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.
God, it seems selfish, but I pray that I find peace. I’m hurting.
I love you. Are you here?
Please don’t let the cancer come back.
For my mom and dad to get through the divorce safely. Please…
Help me see the beauty that you see in me.
I am struggling

Words like hurting...peace..struggling.

Words of pain and lose,

emotions and spiritual character calling out to others and looking for the God who cares!

Here is an idea take a piece of paper put it in your diary with your very own prayer wall what would you ask for..what sentences would you leave for God ..to read..from you

Me? well to be honest it for Matthew (my son) to find God, health and presence of God with my family,8 years of unanswered prayer around one subject.

• Abu Qatada Arrested For 'Breaching Bail'

A judge has ruled in a special hearing that radical preacher Abu Qatada must remain in custody after being arrested for allegedly breaching bail conditions.

His detention came just days ahead of a new Government attempt to have him deported.

"At a telephone hearing this afternoon with lawyers for both sides, Mr Justice Irwin, Chairman of SIAC (Special Immigration Appeals Commission), ordered the return of Omar Othman, otherwise known as Abu Qatada, to prison," the Judicial Office said in a statement.

He will be detained at Belmarsh prison until a further hearing on March 21.

The court heard evidence suggesting Qatada had broken the bail condition which prohibits him from permitting mobile phones to be switched on in his house while he is present, the Judicial Office added.

A Home Office spokesperson said: "We are pleased the Special Immigration Appeals Commission has decided to revoke bail for this individual on an interim basis following serious breaches of his bail conditions.

"We will vigorously argue our case at the next hearing on 21 March."

Speaking at a Tory grassroots conference, Theresa May pledged that the Conservatives would scrap the Human Rights Act and could even end Britain's association with the European Convention on Human Rights if they were elected in 2015.

Kevin Waller speaking on his blog Sunday the 10th of march 2013 commented

"not so sure that scrapping the human rights of everyone is a good idea perhaps we need to be tough and choose what we accept and reject this guy should have been out of the system a long time ago".

'Religious' Easter eggs are to go on sale in the UK's biggest supermarkets for the first time after church leaders pleaded with stores to stock them.

Out of 80 million eggs on sale in the UK, 'The Real Easter Egg' claims to be the only one to explain the religious significance of Easter on the box.

It has won the support of high-profile Christians including Archbishop of York, Rev John Sentamu, and will hit the shelves at stores like Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Waitrose from today.

Too close provision, Finish of the fitness4life project.

Emotionally it drained myself.

Worried about where the youth would go,
What would become of them?
Friendships could they be maintained by the youth to the youth?
Friendships between the youth and community.
What about relationships with God?
Understanding from the bible,
Would it be applied to life they live?
Jesus..they had been introduced to the culture of his teachings
Encouraged to follow..Jesus.
Church folk well,  Would those relationships end?  Of course they did.
Life,  where would they find Adults who take an interest in the youths experiences and direction.
My part in their journey is over, My part in their journey is over. Yeah it's sinking in...
                           

My part in their Journey of the last 5 years is finished.

Over ...No role...No part for me to play

Remembered.
Will the words,
The trips,

What value will any of this be to them in the uncertain future?
In the multitude of all my actions..words..experiences..where was the Godsenseness of it all
