Pleased to recommend a CHINESE RESTAURANT

Many of my longstanding followers will know that I and Chinese food do not get along together. Since being tormented with it by my former neighbour in Chesterfield, I have never had any inclination to go near the stuff.

BUT LO and BEHOLD, whilst in London I was convinced by a dear friend, Rev. Tom, to try it. And I did enjoy a delicious feast of stir fried vegetables with black bean sauce.

So on my way home from London town last Friday, I did call by Bourton-on-the-Water, which is a lovely little village in the Cotswolds. I often go there to sit and reflect on life. Inside, a small, still voice, did tell me to proceed down a little side street, whereupon I did stumble upon a little Chinese restaurant called "CHINA TOWN".

Imagine my elation whereupon walking in I heard lovely Christian music playing on the PA system. It was all really moving, emotional stuff - here was a Chinese restaurant, run and staffed by the Chinese in rural England blasting out music for JESUS!!! Rev. Tom could hardly believe it when I did tell him of my find and he is coming down to visit sometime next month, so we shall try it again then.

This just goes to prove that people need to be slow to judge on the grounds of appearance and ethnicity. Most of us would think that all Chinese are either godless communists or followers of an oriental religion, but these people were true disciples of Christ.

The food was quite nice, but for Christians who fancy an oriental meal in a Christian environment please do try CHINA TOWN in BOURTON-on-the-WATER.

Apologies

Apologies for any offensive postings that were made last night whilst I was feeling somewhat tired and emotional. The offending postings have now been removed and/or duly edited.

I am going to have a spiritual day today, walking at Hampstead Heath and reflecting on life.

Australa must kick out Ms Gillard.

I am so pleased to hear that they are indeed about to do so. As I prepare to go home ot bed , it has verily made my night no end.

THE WOMAN IS SURELY ABOUT TO GO!!!!!!!!!!

RIP Frank carson

Rest in peace, Frank Carson. We will miss you. Here was a good comedian who was clean to the end. No filth about him.

Awesome purchase!!!

Awright me old sparrows????!!!!!

'Ello from London town.

Today I was browsing in a junk shop in Camden and did purchase an ANTIQUE POLICE TRUNCHEON FROM THE 1950s!!!!

This is the genuine article, used by the old bill.

It was a SNIP at £55 (with some hard bargaining by yours truly).

Off to the old Jack Tar now for a Pig's Ear!!!!!*



* I am bemused by the fact that almost every Londoner I have met today has failed to understand their own Cockney rhyming slang!!!

And another protest planned

I have also decided to make my way to the headquarters of the radio station "Jazz FM" to distribute some gospel tracts after I stumbled across this piece of shocking news.

Now there's a place that really needs Jesus to get His foot in the door, and fast.

LONDON CALLING!

Thank you to those of you who passed on their good wishes in the aftermath of the vicious assault. So today I have decided to cheer myself up by going off to LONDON and will spend a few days there at a little Bed & Breakfast in the Hendon area.

There I will do several things. I intend to ride the tube as usual, and due to my location much of my travel will be on the NORTHERN LINE. However, it has been a while since I have been on the METROPOLITAN LINE, so I think I will ride it, and then maybe try the HAMMERSMITH & CITY LINE as well. I will also do my usual jaunt between Tottenham Court Road and Holborn on the CENTRAL LINE line to see the much-feared GHOST station of BRITISH MUSEUM. MWA-HAHAHAHA!!!!

I am also going to visit London Zoo and take a walk around Westminster and up to Buckingham Palace. My sister did buy for me a London Eye ticket but I would not go up in that thing for good money, so I will donate it to a tramp or homeless person.

Of course, any trip to London would not be complete without a good PROTEST!!! So I will distribute some anti-evolution tracts outside the door of the Natural History Museum and I will also conduct a protest outside the Apollo Victoria Theatre which is currently airing a show called "Wicked", which by all accounts glorifies witchcraft and the devil.

Dr Ellison the victim of terrible assault

It is my sad duty to inform you that on Thursday night, Dr Ellison was savagely kicked and punched by a brutish thug in the normally peaceable town of CIRENCESTER. The incident arose when Dr Ellison attempted to do a good deed for the day, by seeking to perform a citizen's arrest on a violent skinhead from the ghetto.

Dr Ellison was taking an evening stroll around Cirencester, where he did call upon a local hostelry to refresh himself with a pint of their finest ale. The said thug began a mighty row with a woman in the corner of the said establishment, and gave her a mighty SHOVE against a poker machine. Now the woman in question was nothing much to look at - she had peroxide hair and fake tan and an almighty tramp stamp on display, but a man should not raise his hand to the fairer sex - not EVER. So, in spite of the said woman's appearance, Dr. Ellison was quick to step in, without a thought for his own safety, and seized the skinhead, performing a citizen's arrest in the name of Her Majesty. Whereupon, the thug did strike Dr Ellison around the face and the stomach and kicked him on his ribs, before fleeing the scene of the crime. The good news is that the police were called, and the female in question did give them the name and address of the culprit. This morning Dr Ellison has been informed that the skinhead was arrested and given a POLICE CAUTION, which needless to say he is not best pleased about, but in these current days of Andy-Pandy justice, what can one expect?

Dr. Ellison is spending the weekend playing with his little rabbits while he recuperates from his injuries.  I am sure I am not alone in wishing him a speedy recovery, and hope to goodness that this evil wretch is locked up in prison sometime soon before he murders a child or rapes someone.

Valentine Cards

So, how many Valentine cards did we send and receive this year?

I sent three. One to a certain someone in Chesterfield, one to a certain someone in Australia (not Alan, not even in drag!), and one to a certain someone in the town of Shroud.

Alas, I received a big fat zero. Ah well, maybe next year. :)

Libellous postings WILL BE REMOVED

I have said it before, and I do not expect to have to say it again. ANY POSTING THAT LIBELS THE LATE MICHAEL JACKSON WILL BE REMOVED. He was ACQUITTED of all charges. Ironic that the presumption of innocence should ring so hollow among the bleeding heart liberals who are constantly nattering on about human rights!

Whitney Houston

I wish the media would cease going ON and ON and ON about this woman. She was a drug-addict, just like Winehouse was, so her death should not surprise us. I understand this woman started out as a church singer. If she had stuck to singing in her local baptist church on Sundays instead of going out and trying to be famous and lusting after loads of money, she would not be dead now. Just look at this picture of her I have found - all drugged up and wearing a coat made of out dead animals. That really does disgust me. Far be it for me to judge, but I strongly suspect she is in Hell now.

I, for one, thought that the death of the actor David Kelly today was much more tragic, but far be it for one of our own to hit the headlines. Not a lot of people know who he was, but he was the actor who played O'Reilly the Builder in Fawlty Towers and Grandad Joe in the recent Willy Wonka film. He was not a drug addict, but a decent and down-to-earth elderly gentleman. Alas, only if you are a rich and powerful American in the world of entertainment can you expect a mention on the national, British news.

I'm Garvan, the Inventor

These last few days, I have been immersing myself reading about the Iraq Body Count Project

Estimates as to the total number of civilian deaths in Iraq since the war range from 100,000 to 1,000,000. It does not take a scientist to work out that THIS IS A HUGE VARIATION.

So what if, dear reader, the counters had a machine that would enable them to count bodies from the air? What if they could simply fly over the country and get a precise and 100% accurate total of fatalities? "PROBLEM SOLVED!", I hear you cry.

Well, relying on my professional knowledge of decaying human bodies, and my (admittedly amateur) understanding of SONAR, yours truly has developed a blueprint for a machine that might, just MIGHT, do that very thing. Needless to say I am not going to post details online at this stage, but suffice to say I am 90% certain the idea will work and I therefore need to get it PATENTED.

Lord Bannside needs your prayers

Please remember Dr Ian Paisley in your prayers tonight. He is gravely ill, and his poor family must be under so much strain. Whilst I did not agree with all decisions he made, he is a good man, a God-fearing man, and the Lord has blessed him with a long and prosperous and fruitful life. I call on all Christians to remember him in prayer.

"some interesting ideas"

So there you have it. In spite of all the mockery and sneering that goes on here about my science and qualifications, a first rate physicist at the great University of St. Andrews has confirmed indeed that I have some "interesting ideas". Whilst he does not agree with me on everything, he was most encouraging and told me to "persevere" with my interest in amateur science. If my theses and research were rubbish, he would not have said that, so that proves.
