I was off work sick today, so have been watching friends and the news all day (which grows tired very quickly).RANT: Why do the BBC insist on sending people from London to cover news stories? Today is the verdict in the trial of one of the people on trial for the Omagh bombing (Which was nearly 10 years ago now!) and instead of using one of the many BBC Northern Ireland presenters they have sent some random presenter I have never seen before from London. I would kind of understand them sending a main recognisable presenter as a familiar face but this guy is new.He couldn’t even pronounce Omagh correctly so how can I expect him to have a clue about  NIre’s complex past? This is an example of how London centric the BBC still is, hopefully with the new BBC Manchester and BBC Scotland buildings this will change.

Matthew was in my form class up to 6th form at Dalriada and he lead the Scripture Union in our upper 6th. He also played a major part in bringing me to salvation through Jesus Christ and his servant attitude taught me much. His death although a great loss has lost its sting as he takes his place in the presence of God. See you soon Matthew.

Well I have just completed shifting my sites all over to new hosts Fast Hosting Direct. I’m sorry to leave 1&1 after years of good service but I’m afraid price and unlimited mySQLs is what did it. The transfer was very time consuming but went pretty smoothly. Also I was amazed at how easy transferring this Wordpress blog and my 4th year project Wiki went.

In other news my Manchester church (Platt) is having guest services this week. So if you are in Manchester and interested see the fliers below:
