The Horror, The Horror

I Bring You Good Tidings Of Great Joy

Luke 2:10-14

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

For all of my reader , the believer, the agnostic and the atheist. I wish you a Merry Christmas, whether you believe the man was the Son of God  or just the son of a carpenter who had a philosophy that echoes down the ages.

FIRE exclamation mark

Twitter could be used to take 999-style emergencies, fire brigade says

See now you don’t have to walk so far. 

UPMC opens food bank for struggling employees,

It is often said that a camel is a horse designed by committee.

You’re telling me a group of highly paid people , probably with business degrees  sat round a table  and  came up with this idea and no one, no one said “Hang on a second , can we look at this again , there could be some downsides here.”

Probably the same people who decided when Dyson closed it’s UK plant to ‘reward’ all the redundant workers with TA-DA ‘An new Dyson’ 

Their contempt for us is total
