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.”

Threesie?
yep it goes against the grain with me to but it is such a hollow victory, remember whe winning any of a countrys treble automatically gained European entry, that’s why league cups internationally are not taken seriously but imagine how gutted the hoards would be if celtic fans (see the irony) got behind their bid to win the cup (now i’m not saying supported the hun,far from it, but supported the rule that if you have not got three years history you cant play in Europe, oh how the huns will squirm … hopefor a cup win in one hand and therefore the double whammy of not playing in Europe and their new team /old team argument blown out the water……..let them win a wee diddy cup at paradise,the best place in Scotland to sat “if you know your history” and I don’t think our forefathers would be spinning in their graves, because we know our history!!
EDB ,
Many thanks. Starting tonight, by being taken out to dinner.

Just finding out that a ship carrying radioactive waste called into the port here in La Spezia on Monday, heading for an unknown foreign destination.
The authorities tried to keep it quiet, but a local conspiracy theorist found out and spilled the beans.
The local authorities knew nothing – allegedly. A govt spokesman has said that it was a ‘need to know’ scenario, and that there was no need for alarm.
Very reassuring.
If I start to glow in the dark, I’m going to sue the feckers!

Secret Cowboy Boot Wearers CSC

Sevco can no longer avoid the big teams. Should they continue to get the luck of the draw they will at best get St Johnstone in the semi.
The plucky third-tier outfit are about to get a reality check on where they really stand in Scottish football.
I’m looking forward to hearing Sleekit’s excuses.
Good evening all
The wearers of cowboy boots should be barred from all social events, in case they stirrup trouble. Sorry, back to lurking.

2-0 chelski and the frogs just edged the rugger17-19
The Barca lose and it looks like the title might go to one of the Madrid clubs this season.
A lot of suspicions of performance enhancing drugs being used at top level sports,in Spain in last 10 years.(tennis and football in particular).Apparently lots of samples went ‘missing’.
The tax authorities have been shafted by the big football clubs for at least a decade.
Their financial steroids have been supplied by the unfortunate German taxpayer for many years.
Maybe Dermot Desmond has a point when he talks about the relative merits of Celtic ‘s successes against the likes of these teams.
Maybe Campbell Ogilvie has a cousin who is the ‘best administrator in Spain’?
It’s good to see Bayern Munich do so well in the name of sporting integrity.
Hope they become the first club ever to retain Champions League…All with their own money,too.
Hail Hail to all.
Got tae say, really looking forward to CQTen the nearer it gets.
400 mad Tims in an enclosed space could get a bit messy drink wise though!
Think I may need Monday off!

Ok then….beat this one for laughs…..
BRTH comes out of a Byres Road saloon and finds that someone has painted his horse with whitewash. He storms back inside and shouts, ‘Which one of you bastards whitewashed my horse?’ A huge gunslinger stands up and says, ‘Me. Why d’you want to know?’ ‘No reason,’ says ole Brogan the cowboy. ‘Just thought I’d tell you the first coat is dry.’

‘Where is everybody?” the cowboy asked.
“They’ve all gone to see Brown Paper Pete hang”
“Why do they call him Brown Paper Pete?” the cowboy asks.
“Well, he always wears a brown paper hat, a brown paper shirt, and brown paper trousers.”
“Really?” says the cowboy. “And what are they hanging him for?”

Tom English has redeemed himself a wee bit in my eyes today,with his hard hitting piece on Sevco shenanigans.

I know you read on here and the other bampot sites…..so cap well and truly doffed for your article….Well done,sir!!
Has old Leggo pashed the bed with whiskey overload,once too often,and drifted away to where no one can find him?
Silence has been golden since the Orcs AGM.
Wonder if anyone threatened to throw him down a marble staircase?
A three legged dog walks into a cowboy saloon.
“What the hellfire do you want ?” asks the barman?

BRTH rides into town and stops at the saloon. However, when he’s finished his drink, he walks out to find his horse has been stolen. The ole Strandsky cowboy walks back into the bar, loosens his guns in their holsters and says, ‘I’m gonna have another beer and if my horse ain’t back outside by the time I’m finished, I’m gonna do what I dun back in Great Western Road.Hehas his drink and goes out to find his horse is back where he left it. The bartender calls out after him, ‘Hey partner, what exactly did happen in Great Western Road?The cowboy says, ‘I had to walk home!’
A blonde wanted to go ice fishing. She’d seen many books on the subject, and finally getting all the necessary tools together, she made for the ice.
After positioning her comfy camping stool, she started to make a circular cut in the ice.
Suddenly, from the sky, a voice boomed,
“THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!”
Startled, the blonde moved further down the ice, poured a cup of cappuccino from her thermos, and began to cut yet another hole.
Again from the heavens the voice bellowed,
“THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!”
The blonde, now worried, moved away, clear down to the opposite end of the ice.
She set up her stool once more and tried again to cut her hole.
The voice came once more,
“THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!”
She stopped, looked skyward! and said,
“IS THAT YOU LORD?”
The voice replied,
“NO, THIS IS THE MANAGER OF THE SKATING RINK!”
Got knocked out playing football once, in Anniesland,and taken to the nearest hospital to check for concussion.
Kept in overnight for observation and started having some delirious dreams.Worst of all was when I woke up to see Clint Eastwood,Audey Murphy and John Wayne sitting around my bed.
‘Dont worry son…..You’re in the Western’….said the nurse!!
