By Richard Morrison, Timesonline If the faithful stop flocking to our churches and cathedrals, are they worth preserving? If the more apocalyptic forecasts are to be believed, the only people going to church in Britain in ten years’ time will be the Archbishop of Canterbury and Sir Cliff Richard. Well, so be it. God moves in a [...]
Think 'a barbershop quartet who've slotted the girly one', says our guest reviewer, Twitter's @andymcnabb I was hoovering with the flame-thrower when my wife left me. "I'm leaving you," she said, with an expression like a bombed church. "Is it the balaclava?" I said. "No," she said, opening the door. "I've found another hero." Actually there are three of them....
"Mistletoe and Wine" is a popular single by Cliff Richard. Written by Jeremy Paul, Leslie Stewart and Keith Strachan, it was originally performed by Twiggy in a TV musical based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl in 1986. As written, "Mistletoe and Wine" had a different meaning to that for which it came to be known. The writers wanted a "satirical Christmas...
Thursday 3rd December Yesterday was my last day for teaching 10 of my DPP students. They've hopefully successfully completed their last unit. I've been teaching them weekly since September 2008, the first regular course I taught. It hasn't all been easy. With our money worries; Joe's head injury; studying for the Playwork Awards; as well as the Teacher Training; etc, etc, etc, it has meant some weeks...
I'm not really up to scratch for Chrimbo. It's coming and there's nothing to do except hold on tight, as the roller coaster ride begins. My larynx has returned from it's holiday abroad and feels so much better and appreciated. I thanked it. The dosing up of Echinacea has probably helped as well. Although it should be cold out, this morning wasn't as bad for this time of year, but the weather forecast...
Just to let you know I have changed my settings for comments and they should now come up in full page view. I was reading on someone's blog that there have been difficulties for some people where the comments box is embedded. I don't think mine was embedded but I thought I'd change it anyway as I know one or two people have had problems leaving comments here in the past. Let me know if you have any...
Oh shitty death. Magic and all the other purveyors of poo music on sattelite TV have started belting out Christmas tunes already and we are barely into fucking December. Do they not realise that by the 14th we will be so sick of the sound of Slade that we would gladly shave off Noddy Holders sideburns with a cut throat and turn them into a pair of novelty ear muffs? There are many reasons why I thoroughly...
It may still be three weeks away, but Christmas is already here in our hearts. People are recommending Hops and Glory as the ideal gift, and I didn't even pay them to. Twitter is alive with the sound of people debating the best Christmas beer. And our thoughts turn to who is going to be Christmas number one. It's always a contentious issue. It carries more weight than the number one at any other time...
If Cliff Richard doesn't score a chart topper in the next few weeks, his record of having a number one in every decade since 1730 will be wiped out. Here's what he can do ... Do you realise one of music's most enduring legacies is about to end? You see, in just five weeks' time, Cliff's astounding record of having a No 1 in every decade since the 1950s will be over. He almost made it in the noughties,...
Veteran singer SIR CLIFF RICHARD refuses to retire with THE SHADOWS for good, insisting he and his bandmates will most likely share the stage again in the future.
Lots of Christians feel rather ambivalent about Facebook . Many are on it, and take part in the usual festivities. Some use it as a ministry to those about them. Others appear every three months or so, accept their friend requests, and retreat again. Many are concerned about it eating up their time, and keep away from it altogether. Some think it is an instrument of Satan. For all its faults, I like...
