A day of rest or a dose of reality

I just read a perculiar headline on the BBC website regarding "Sunday Ferry makes first sailing".

Huh? Is it not the case that public transport has offered services across the UK on Sundays for some time and why shouldn't it? Apparently the Hebredian Island of Stornaway has only just got a Sunday ferry service and there are some staunch supporters of 'the sabbath as a day of rest' who are a bit upset about it. A small group of supporters prayed 'for the nation to turn its back from sin and wickedness'. Now, the last time I used ferry service I wouldn't have described it as 'sinful' or 'wicked'. Much as I respect the right of individuals to voice their opinions peacfully I think the protestors objection lacks logic.

If a ferry service serves those who want and need it and is happily provided, I would suggest a 'live and let live' stance rather than whining and bleating curries more favour. If folks thought me an idiot, I would remain silent rather than opening my trap and confirming their suspicions...

First post from Android!

Is there anything it can't do?

That's that one over folks - THANKS!

Flora London Marathon Total funds raised - £1,914.34

As near as damn it hitting my £2k target.

Stoked.

Anyway, I did 5k on the weekend and my legs still hurt! 2 months off running is quite telling....back on it now though.

While I'm having a random warble...

Next time I apply for a job I'm going to ask to be paid 'chicken feed' like BoJo abd then chuck a hissy when it isn't £250k. Pillock.

Also - Android phones rule. I searched for a screen protector and white silicone case and found a crumby 'mobile accessories.co.uk' site that wanted to charge me £15 AND sign in/create an account...probably would have saved my credit card details 'for later use' too. No thanks. Amazon search yielded the same products with a headphone adapter for a tenner. WIN!
