Funny names, eh, who would have 'em................
Amidst everything else I think it’s worth observing that Mariann Edgar Budde is a name that could literally only belong to an Episcopalian.

Blundeston, Suffolk. 'I look up at the monumental tablets on the wall, and try to think of Mr Bodgers late of this parish, and what the feelings of Mrs Bodgers must have been, when affliction sore, long time Mr Bodgers bore, and physicians were in vain. I look to the pulpit, and think what a good place it would be to play in, and what a castle it would make, with another boy coming up the stairs to attack it...' David Copperfield in Blundeston church, from 'David Copperfield' by Charles Dickens.

Blundeston, Suffolk. Charles Dickens placed David Copperfield's birth and childhood in this parish, and included a memorable description of the boy's imagination running wild during a long, dull sermon. More: suffolkchurches.co.uk/Blunde… #SteepleSaturday

Totally the opposite of Charlbury, of course😂
Replying to @WME_Talent
Still, if your core constituency is the smug, middle aged and middle class then I guess this is the equivalent of the Corn Laws.

This woman is a hero of mine...just saying.
Over Christmas, we have been waiting for the results of various scans & checks. The first result is in, and it is good news. We are just waiting on a biopsy which now looks promising. In other news, I have 2 new wigs and have planned and ordered 2 dahlia displays for my garden.

The best Christmas ad of all time...!!!😍
The biggest supermarket chain in the Netherlands, Albert Heijn, has brought the magic of Last Christmas to life in this heartwarming commercial. 🎶💖 See if you can spot a familiar face 👀 Last Christmas has also hit the #1 spot for the first time ever in the Netherlands! 👏

'Banned from being alone with children'.........I cannot think of any job for which this would be a qualification.

Total agreement
Understanding terrorists’ motives is important, as is revealing unpatable truths to be reckoned with/preventable failures. But glee with which attacks are jumped on for political one upmanship, before facts known & bypassing the tragedy of victims, speaks to a societal sickness.

Not sure what is more annoying. The instant ‘expertise’ of people on the disciplinary and hierarchical states of the Church of England or those jockeying for a new, grander post within it. Just pray and be kind to people.

I'm with the government on this....I was there and I knew....
'I didn't judge that it would be the best use of taxpayers money to pay an expensive compensation bill for something most people knew was happening' Chancellor Rachel Reeves has defended the Government's decision not to compensate more than 3.5 million WASPI women affected by the increase in the state pension age bbc.co.uk/news/live/clyx4ej5…
