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.”

This is where 16 roads and I were getting tanked today DD.
Midway through the 2nd half, Rovers were awarded a shy.
What did Black the gambler do ?
Booted the ball away. Ungentlemanly conduct, warranting a yellow card all the time.
What did the ref do ? Zilch……..Black was on a yellow already.
Shocking.

At the end -of- the -day, the keeper, did handle the ball, ‘ that’s all I am saying’!

I used to tell lies in confession.
“Ah stole a biscuit”
And one day I didn’t, and told the truth, sweatin and nervous, voice breaking…
And the priest was taken aback, told me it was a really good confession.
Am I the only muppet to ever own up to shit?
DD,
No bud,horse racing just a very passing interest for me.
16 roads had a score each way on one yesterday-11/2 ….
Rarley do I comment on the football much. Today was amazed, amazed that Walker said it weren’t a foul yeah he has said some odious and stupid uncle tom stuff in his time but that just surpasses them all, he has no credibility left, even with the fans of diddy teams after they heard him say that. Firstly moshi does not touch the ball, so its not even a “well he got the ball then the man” issue, he just makes contact with man but without touching ball. That’s a foul, if he had even touched the ball Before making contact with the man they way he charged in on a keeper is usually a foul but then it would be somewhat up to debate, but how folk like walker can turn round and say that cause he was “looking at the ball” its not a foul is ridiculous, news flash to walker, did someone ever explain to him just cause a player in blue or maroon tries to win the ball but in doing so kicks the man first that that is still a foul, and depending if studs are showing or not possibly a booking or red if feet are high thus some one jumping attempting to win the ball but failing or getting the slightest touch after making contact with the man first, is still a foul, its not intent that is judged not a foul but the actual result. I wish walker would at least try to say what he sees. Its true if someone intends to foul and fails it can still be a foul regardless of contact but fuds like walker never seem to learn that for sevco or any other team the reverse is not true, trying to win the ball and failing by first taking the man or not even making any contact on the ball is a FOUL. Other than that the ref wasn’t as bad as he could have been but boy was that a big “mistake”.
As for stoppage time at least he blew 10 seconds short of 5 mins, someone said we had a similar situation and got 3 minutes allocated well for 4 or 5 stubs plus minimal fouls 3 mins is absolutely the require amount, 4 minutes is pushing it but 5 mins is a joke and is unfair. NO justification what so ever. Its 30 sec a sub and 10 sec any time a player pulls up is the usual rule unless said player is taken of on stretch and then its like 40 secs or 1 minute. That is the official guidelines. Another Kabbalah wanna be makes an error, under threat of his tongue being slit no doubt… Joke in case in these Orwellian times we are not allowed to mock those who wish to harm the whole of humanity. The useful idiot masons are as much as threat as we are, and are not trying to harm us beyond trying to screw our footballers over, the ones who infiltrated in 1777, the other esoteric secret orders, well they just laugh as their sheeple lower members get told the “wrong” or possibly “original” meanings to the symbols in said institutions.

Antifa –
I agree with most of your comment, except your claim that there are “official guidelines” for the amount of stoppage time added for various events such as “10 sec any time a player pulls up”.
As far as injury stoppages are concerned, it is up to the referee to add on the necessary stoppage time. If the game is stopped for 30 seconds, then 30 seconds should be added. If it is a minute, then a minute should be added. There is no “10 second rule” just as there is no “30 second rule” for substitutions. That is purely an invention of the broadcast media.
A common mistake people make is to assume that if a player is down for, say 3 minutes near the end of the game, the referee must allow the game to proceed for 3 minutes extra once the game resumes. That simply doesn’t make sense if there is only a minute left when the injury occurs, in which case, when play resumes, the minute that was left should be allowed to run, not 3 minutes or whatever. By allowing the remaining minute to play, the referee has in effect added 3 minutes, otherwise he would have blown for full-time a minute after the player went down, and was still down.
When Scott McDonald scored the winner in the CL against Milan at Celtic Park, there were 30 seconds left to play. During the celebrations, a fan ran onto the pitch and patted the keeper on the head. The player went down as if he had been hit with an axe and was eventually stretchered off, all of which held the game up for about 3 minutes. When Milan kicked off, the referee allowed the 30 seconds of play before blowing the full time whistle.
The next day, Glen Gibbons, a prominent Scottish sports writer wrote in the Scotsman that the referee knew the Milan keeper was at it, because he didn’t add on the extra 3 minutes after Milan kicked-off.
Just been scanning back.
According to eddieinkirkmichael, Scottish working class people can’t afford to go to the theatre.
You learn something new every day on CQN.
I have learned that at least one CQNer is still living in the dark ages.
Seriously!
Nightshift this week so decided to log on to read some stuff from the moon howlers and no one is here!!
Back to work it seems for me!
The sevco “goal” at the doom dome yesterday
how bad was that
following on from a 92 minute penalty against east fife where lee mcculloch kissed the ball
do they even begin to realise how much they have fallen
and as for guys like John Daly and David Templeton, I expect your careers are over now and by ghod it is deserved
surely even the most rabid sevconians must realise that fat salary couldnae manage a pub team
Jimbo,
I’m herem, howling at the moon and rain outside.
Just had nothing to say for some time.
Even despite GCT’s apparent lack of awareness at the extent of poverty in Scotland at the moment, while he and his fellow Tory loving Aussies celebrate the sunshine.
Although, to be fair, I didn’t get Eddieincarmichaels questions of BRTH. It wasn’t his show, so how could he choose the venue?
I don’t go to ANY theatre as I was put off doing that as a wean – the mere mention of it on the streets of Milton in the early 80s would have been a guaranteed beating for my younger brother, who I cared about too much :))
Instead I read all the plays they threw at us, and agreed with my street contemporaries that it was all pish.
Hobson’s Choice amigo.
I prefer soap opera now – a massively under-rated genre.
FFM said:Even despite GCT’s apparent lack of awareness at the extent of poverty in Scotland at the moment, while he and his fellow Tory loving Aussies celebrate the sunshine.
So refusing to accept that working class folks can’t afford to attend the theatre means all that does it? I find such an assertion to be very patronising and demeaning to Scottish working class people, and I include myself in that. What are we, the great unwashed? We don’t have the means to go th the theatre, so must stick to the pub and a packet of fags? Is that how you see us?
As for calling me an Aussie Tory, you haven’t been paying attention have you?
Your slip is showing mate.

” his fellow Tory loving Aussies ”
I know of not one C.Q.N. Aussie blogger who “loves the tories”,most likely the opposite in fact, and I`ve probably had a chat to all of them.
As for myself,I don`t love the tories.
It`s just that history has taught me to prefer them to the alternatives.
But that`s my problem.
FFM
in “nothing much to say” shocker!
Now don’t you go flouncing cos GCT said yer slip was showing.
You know flouncing is only permitted in a tutu.
GCT said:
“Your slip is showing mate.”
What “slip” is that? And since when do you speak for a working class Scotsman?

GCT also said earlier:
“I have learned that at least one CQNer is still living in the dark ages.
Seriously!”
We are all are. Why pick this one out for one of your attacks?

Macjay,
No need for me to elaborate any further on what you said.

GCT is right,you know.
I well remember the joy of cashing my giro just in time to attend the latest opera.
Wish I’d stayed silent!!
