News that Southampton FC have nominated Mary’s Meals as their official international charity partner is a genuine great football story, and a significant landmark for the Scottish-based charity which now feeds over a millions children per day.
Mary’s Meals were in touch on Friday with news and photographs from the fourth school kitchen paid for by Celtic Quick News readers, in Chibwata, Malawi. Since the kitchen was built, school enrolment has increased by 34% to 1226 pupils. Each day over 4,000 pupils are fed in school kitchens built by CQN readers.
The school role has increased because of the availability of a daily meal, but as well as being better fed and healthier, hundreds of pupils are now getting an education who previously missed out. Benefits are not limited to food today, there are lifetime benefits of getting a primary education, which will help the pupils and the nation as a whole for decades.
Those of you who have put the occasional £1 into Appeal alongside the Magners’ competitions we run, or who have put significantly more than this on occasion, should be enormously proud of what you’ve achieved. It is a stunning testament to the Celtic support. Thanks for all your help.
Celtic have done enormous work with Mary’s Meals in the past through the Foundation but let’s hope this break into English football opens up many more opportunities for the charity.

Right I’ve updated my phone but it’s not allowing me to download Crystal ad blocker as it says my phone isn’t compatible!
Any other suggestions? Sorry about this.

I see someone has put the Forth Road Bridge up for sale on
e-bay: http://www.scotsman.com/news/odd/forth-road-bridge-put-up-for-sale-on-ebay-1-3968106
I like the caveat offered:
“Only those silly enough to bid will not receive any financial return. I have no right to sell this and don’t legally own it.”
Any suggestions for another sale?
:-)

CQN should not need moderation, but, unfortunately, it does.
Paul’s done his bit. Now it’s up to everyone else to post. Come back and re-claim the blog.
A special thanks to everyone who attended CQN 11 back in March. That pic on Paul’s article is very much down to you.
Over £650 has been raised to buy our TV package – and maybe a wee laptop – for a legend. Everything has been sorted, so thanks again to all those who helped.
Examples of CQN at its finest here and in Paul’s pic.
HT,
You might need to update your phone, there’s probably a minimum IOS version required.
Or turn on the JavaScript to allow the download maybe :)
Canamalar
I’ve done the update thing mate but it’s still saying not compatible.
Maybe it’s got OCD :)
HT

An Tearmann
If he is for it I’m not without it being taken out of his and his ilks hands
HT,
There are plenty of ad blockers, try a couple of fee ones first you can always delete them any time you want.
Free even

Crystal is for iPhone 5s 6 and 6s
If you’re on an earlier iPhone it won’t download, I’ll look out for an alternative.
Hopefully now the blog can return to a discussion board for things Celtic where a difference of opinion will merit no more than a “IMHO” rather than vindictive and belligerent diatribes.
If there has to be political or religious comment, please remember than not everyone holds the same opinion as the poster – saying it doesn’t make it so. So please do not belittle people who either disagree or comment on its irrelevance to this blog.
I am interested in a poster’s opinions on Celtic issues and relevant football issues that affect the club, things I recognised when I first ran across this excellent vehicle for such discussion.
It seems to have lost its way recently – let’s hope we’re back on message …

CANAMALAR IT LOOKS LIKE OCD OBSESSION on 7TH DECEMBER 2015 7:37 PM
Maybe it’s got OCD :)
That was actually very funny.

Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams, account suspended. Email me if you wish to discuss.
Herbo, account suspended. Email me if you wish to discuss.
Canamalar, political discussion is allowed on the blog, but it is not acceptable use of the blog to copy/paste screeds of political dialogue to the extent that it looks like an OCD obsession. Please refrain in future.
To All Readers:
I’m particularly snowed under at work these days and have little time to monitor comments, so rely on email updates for anything unacceptable. Please email me a link to anything you find inappropriate, celticquicknews@gmail.com
No one should be abused on CQN. If we need a purge of the belligerent we’ll have it.
Thanks for your help.
============================================================
No,Paul.
Thanks for YOUR help.
Two red cards and a yellow. Strong and consistent refereeing on CQN.
Since I have been on CQN it’s always been a diverse blog, it was always IMO the best place to slice and dice what was happening over the river, there was always the happy clappers and the mineshafters, and a few others thrown in, but it never had the bad feeling.
NA2 could post away without anyone abusing him, a few extracted the urine, but there was no ill will, what changed, no idea, but hopefully it can get back on track and back to proper debate without the abuse whatever your point of view.
It’s what makes us different than thems, is it not.
HT
what model is your phone ?
BT
Ignoring my Vids is completely undertsandable ? only my Thai Girls like them :-)
Pog
NO and I still have not written you that email. Am I too late ?
HH
That’ll be the Assad’s version censor right there, nothing to do with quantity, Macjay demands censorship, am I right ?
Can the CQN red cards be appealed? Is there video evidence? Who will sit on the appeal panel, I demand to know these thingsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Canman
Did you watch or had seen that Utube vid I posted this morning ?
HH
TET,
I hate watch him, it’s even worse when he’s making sense :)
Fair play to our host. I like a man of substance.
Apologies to all for my colourful language at times. I mean no offence.

Anyroadup,

Night nigh n hail hail timdom
Good man Herbo glad you’re back.
Incidently.
Why some want to claim a Celtic blog back from Celtic fans is quite funny.

67heaven…,
the point of posting it was that you wont get it in the news, you’ll get edited versions that allow ambiguity and misrepresentation but you know that because you’ve read and watched the MSM all your life. And are obviously very happy with the lies your fed
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You really are a bit of a character … !!!!!!! ….God help the man who doesn’t hold your political etc view …… I am grown up enough to have realised that, in respect of reporting on Scottish Football, the smsm are both biased and bigoted, and blatantly so ….. I have also grasped the fact that, like yourself, different newspapers try to influence their readers to their entrenched political viewpoint etc …….but, don’t you worry about me…..I am capable of having a considered viewpoint on most subjects ……I just don’t try to ram my viewpoint down people’s throats, and, consequently, stick to CQN / Kerrydale St. / Phil / twitter for my Football news …..probably like your good self, I stopped reading the smsm altogether some 20 years ago …HH ……. BUT I DO HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE …. (whisper) I do like the BBC News….. Hahahahaha ….⚽️
Ye did warn me about my swearing HT
Lol
Ye know wit am like. Ill tone it doon x
Wonder if anyone else has been affected by the data usage issue ?
I’ve just increased my data allowance too. Was ignorant of the reason why my data was getting used, until HT’s post earlier.
Herbo
Many of us have fallen foul of it but it’s Paul’s blog so he makes the rules.
