Sad creature that I am I seldom if ever take a day off. Today after some suitable bubbly liquid and an excellent lunch I turn to my PC and see what the media are writing How Christians Celebrate a Pagan Fertility Demon Called "Easter" Instead of Obeying the Teachings of Jesus Christ. The Council of Nicaea in 325 AD under the Roman emperor Constantine approved the official "doctrine" of...
I'm taking the weekend off so no particular thoughts on diary topics.

It is very tempting to go for one of those offers you see in the papers but at the risk of stating the blindingly obvious you can end up spending much more.
