Over the last few days we have worked with Mary’s Meals to identify a second school without basic facilities in one of the most deprived areas of the world. We have confirmed St Josephs’ Primary School in Kasungu, Malawi (the 17th poorest country in the world), which has a roll of 746 pupils and no facilities to provide food, meaning many children have to work to feed themselves instead of being educated.
The necessary permissions have been confirmed, and Mary’s Meals can send resources there as soon as money is available. If we are successful, St Joseph’s will get a brick-built kitchen which will double as a classroom with stoves, pots, utensils, spoons and mugs. As a result, kids will attend school to get what on many occasions will be their only meal of the day. They will also get an education and better chances in later life.
The cost of the kitchen is £7000. We are only six days out from CQteN so we shouldn’t expect miracles but we’ll be here until the job is done.
Construction is underway at our first school at the Kholoni Primary School in Mchinji, Malawi, which has a school roll of 1221 children.
We have a donations page for CQN Mary’s Meals’ projects, if you would like to help out, you can do so here.
Seville, The Celtic Movement, launches this month.
“There were 10 in our party and collecting the tickets took priority. Once we had them we could afford time to eat, but what? Several restaurants were sold out but we eventually found a café with frozen chips and a meat-based slab of something or other. No choices. No beer, wine or cola either, it was diluting orange juice or water. An entire city was pretty much emptied of food and drink.”

T’bull Hutton “How could I support the rule book being ripped up for Rangers? I stood on steps of Hampden & told it like it bloody well was”
Turnbull ‘You put your head above the parapet & you’re all over the bloody internet. I became Turnbull The Tim, which I found quite amusing”
Turnbull “But pro-Celtic – or anti-Rangers – had nothing to do with me taking the stand I did.”
Turnbull “‘I got some charming personal emails. One said: I hope you die of cancer & The only slow lingering death I want is yours, Hutton”.
Turnbull ‘You’ve got to stand up for what you believe in & I’d do it all again. Everything that’s happened since suggests my view was right”
Jeezo, aiden in a blue strip.

Superb :-)
Good afternoon

Turnull “There’s still a hangover from that episode with Sandy Jardine mouthing off about boycotts & stuff like: “We won’t forget”.
Turnbull ‘I don’t know if we are still on a boycott list”. :-))))) Turnbull is a Legend
The previous thread was like a throwback to the best days of Paul’s site. Some really well written thoughts about men who are the very heart of Celtic.
Sadly we now get days when the emphasis is on negative criticism of one another & of our club. I am not stupid enough to exclude myself from this turn of events, although I make a point of never denigrating any person playing or working for Celtic. THEY are my family.
I will thank today’s contributors without naming them, lest I omit any equally worthy candidates.
Spent a while yesterday afternoon in the company of Old Tim (the ‘capo di tutti capi’ of the CQN social scene), An Tearmann, Blantyre Tim & Richie,… a great pleasure only enhanced by a fleeting visit from the Minx.
Thanks to all of you.
I will try to do it more often from now on, Old Tim. :¬))
Turnbull Huttons team deserve to win a cup!!!!!!!!!.

Regarding Turnbull Hutton, he’s not some corner shop operator. He’s Harvard University-educated and former head of United Distillers.

That will depend on the post-split fixtures,bud.
Last time I tried to be all things to all men.
Not a good idea,too much walking!
One venue,fall down,home.
Much better idea. Except for those of us overnighting with THE HAPPY DRAMMER.

The Rosevale?
Kidding,bud. The whole world will be celebrating-apart from two little areas of bone of our bone.
I hope-and trust-that you have a great time.

Hail Hail
Great article Paul67,
Keep Luke’n @ the Widows Offering. It is essential teaching in this day and age.
Great Stuff yesterday also by BRTH about VOD, it is a logical progression ~~~~~. I have cut all ties with Amazon, unsubscribed a couple of times, after a period they still bombard me with emails… ?
I’ve still not got back into my important email account, still waiting for the brilliant nutter FFM to send me headers, Microsoft are Evil when it comes to insignificant people like moi and I know it is why people like FFM dinnae check their emails regularly, nothing to do with paranoia but a solitary stance against the Evil that is surrounding us.
Be Blissfully Happy
Computer comes out as the same as the Reverend and Gerry Adams (16 roads speaks the Truth about decommissioning).
I have banged on about the Americans having Guns, I wullnae ever again, especially after the Paisley Adams link that is incredibly profound.
The controllers have it just about all sown up.
