I love the new sections you added. It is just so fascinating to have those words in a brand new context.

It's never occurred to me to wonder which pantheon the Christian God actually came from, or what His name was before it was God. Thanks for the quick lesson about it all.

Conchita Wurst: Austria's Bearded Lady Wins Eurovision
It was tremendous to watch at the time, except for the voting. That should have been my big moment, but you had the commentators speaking, plus the reporting officers, plus Graham Norton over the top, plus the crowd being loud, plus Jamie/Freya ...

That's really cool, it must've been fun to watch. I didn't know Eurovision existed until last year, and I've never watched it before, I might in the future.

Housework? Oh yes, that's what you do instead of sleeping isn't it?

WHAT’S IN A NAME? THE ORIGIN OF STREET NAMES IN THE CITY - PART ONE
Tell me about it! 10 hour work days plus writing and eBay in the evenings, housework occasionally too. One of my pieces for my main client has scuttled off into the realms of epic, currently being at least 5 parts.

Ha ha ha! It's just that life is so mad at the moment, I didn't have time to do the whole alphabet in one go!

Modest and Minimalist Living
Some people can do it, some can't. I'm determined to make it so, as I really do not need all the 'stuff' I have in this house. And my mother-in-law is even more of a hoarder than I have been. I realised when I left my last retail job that I ...

Until about 1500 bc all faiths were branches of paganism, but very local ones, as you would expect at a period when communication was arduous and slow. Individual religions began to develop organically out of the original paganism in response to ...

I'm glad that it's given you food for thought. I'd not heard of the three streams that you mentioned, so this one is new for me. I'm pretty sure that, if we go back far enough, they all turn into the same river and certainly the same sea.

A Christian's Guide to Witchcraft and Wicca
This discussion has been useful to me, as it has led me to reconsider how I classify world faiths. We normally talk of the two big streams: the Semitic and the Indian, and we allow for a third small stream, the Iranian. Where Wiccan fitted into ...

Ah! I didn't know any of that! Thanks for the crash course in it. (No pun intended.)

@Jo yes. The Spanish GP is also rather political, as the Spanish sports fans have a poor record of racist taunts against non-white sports people. Because Lewis beats their darling Alonso more often than not, he gets a horrible barracking every ...

Mira - I thought of you whenever Romania was mentioned or performed. I sent you a digital wave across the ether.
I didn't know that it started in 1946! Wow! That puts a whole new spin on it.
