Not me .🙂

But Chris Wickland has written quite a lot of books .
I have not yet read any of them but he posts on YouTube as the Vexed Vicar .
I don't think he's mainline CoE else they would have silenced him by now .

I thought you were going to post about a book, "The Vexed Vicar" sounds just like a book title.  :busted:

He will take over but ( as I have said on other occasions - as I get older I do repeat myself ) he will be the last King of England .
Barring some accident George will not be king the monarchy will have long gone by then.

Have you considered fostering Scrumpy ? 
You could make a difference to a dogs life if only for a short time .
The shelters all seem to be full .

Quote from: muddy on Yesterday at 10:29:23 AMWhy are our Christian leaders so reticent on all this ?
I include in this the Pope ( For what it's worth  I am a lapsed Catholic )
On the contrary we are told have to embrace others
More specifically those who are not Bhuddists and Druids and definitely not Jews
We have to welcome others whose intention is to harm us .
Why ?
We don't have a moral obligation to house the whole world and give way to their medieval values .
The king has been utterly useless .
As a none royalist I don't find this surprising .
His  main interest is preserving an anachronistic system of privilege for one mediocre family

I agree, Muddy.
Yes, this country is becoming weaker day by day under this government, and I cannot see any reversal of it until 2029.

With regard to Charlie-boy, our weakest monarch probably of all time, I cannot stand how he appears to actively encourage the increase of islam in our country along with the failing of Christianity.  Yes, I am an atheist, but under Christianity this country has developed to become the greatest nation on earth (though now having sunk to an all-time low).

I look forward to William taking over, assuming that we still have a monarchy by then.

The Chat Room / Re: Fox
Last post by JBR - Yesterday at 11:59:20 AM
We often get a fox in our garden, though I have only seen them overnight on my security cameras.  Fortunately, our back garden is surrounded by other properties' gardens, all away from busy roads, so the fox(es?) are quite safe.
We do have two cats which go out at night, which I think is quite natural.  There are some occasional instances when the two (cat and fox) meet and, as foxes are generally bigger than cats, I used to worry about our cats.  However, fortunately the foxes are not in the habit of facing off against our cats and, again fortunately, our cats don't seem interested in the foxes which always seem to slope off.

A young man is coming here at noon
To sort some damp in my bathroom
It seems to come from the tap
When turned on. Now fancy that !
Another big bill.. All doom and gloom

I have often thought if replacing my last dog who was 16 years old when she died..
I see all these things on the tv and facebook.. So many dogs and cats needing homes..
 My heart goes out to a bewildered pet who doesn't understand why they are in a shelter looking through bars when they have been loved by someone who is no longer able to care for them..
I especially go for the underdog.. the scruffy dog.. the one-eyed dog.. three legged.. or just plain old..

I know I could cope with a dog.. but.. I wouldn't want to start again..
Heaven knows what I would do if I visited a kennels and looked at their faces.. and into their eyes..
I would cry..
