How dare you ask that question of a man of the cloth. :o


I once saw c. 100 people being 'done', as you so eloquently put it, on Margate beach. It was a typical British day, i.e. bloody cold and windy, so I admired the vicar's* stamina to be waist deep in English Channel for that long. It looked like a very African congregation and to be honest, it look like everyone was having a right good time, with music and all sorts going on.

*Priest? Father? MC?...not sure of the terminology.
Doesn't it need to be holy water? It must have taken a lot of devotion to bless the whole sea.
God works in mysterious ways and is not phased by volume of water, salinity, tidal flows or kids urinating just a few feet away, you heathen.

The action of baptism is the recognition that God is present in our lives and our public affirmation of His redemption. Blessing the water is the remembrance of what God has done for us, parting the Red Sea, the Jordan, the baptism of Christ and the affirmation of faith.

Not an Argos pool, a much posher one than that! Even has a rubber bottom and steel brackets. It is very robust and built for long term use.

Out on the bike today, currently sat in the sun drinking coffee on the edge of Dartmoor. Nice weather but very few bikes about.

Went to physio this afternoon - the one that's been away for two months, but also has been the constant physio for almost 3 years

He's made my day! We tried some arm movements that I've been trying to improve but I can't see improvement - he can!! He reckons the rotation is way better and I should be pleased! So I am :bblonde: :bblonde: :bblonde:

Managed to convince my wife I need to spend another £200ish on another aquarium filter 2 months after spending about the same amount on new filters. She's happy as she gets to buy a big pot plant to hide the beast. I'll also remember that the figure filter manufacturers quote on the box is a complete lie.

Just come back from five hours of the Gremlinette driving the Figaro around Carzone in Essex, a private roadway kids can use without a provision licence.

She's knackered and is lying on the sofa and my nerves are shot to pieces. Need a lie down in a darkened room with large Scotch. :?
