Six days out and a mountain to climb

1664

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.”

  1. A London lawyer runs a stop sign while visiting Dublin and gets pulled over by an Irish cop.

     

    He thinks that he is much smarter than any cop because he is a lawyer

     

    from LONDON, and is certain that he has a better education then any

     

    Irish cop. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at

     

    the cop’s expense!

     

     

    Irish cop says, “License and registration, please.”

     

     

    London Lawyer says, “What for?”

     

     

    Irish cop says, “Ye didn’t come to a complete stop at the stop sign.”

     

     

    London Lawyer says, “I slowed down, and no one was coming.”

     

     

    Irish cop says, “Ye still didn’t come to a complete stop. License and

     

    registration, please, sir.”

     

     

    London Lawyer says, “What’s the bloody difference?”

     

     

    Irish cop says, “The difference is, the sign says stop, not slow down,

     

    so, ye hav te come to a complete stop, that’s the law. License and

     

    registration, please!”

     

     

    London Lawyer says, “If you can show me the legal difference between

     

    slow down and

     

    stop, I’ll give you my license and registration and you give me the

     

    ticket. If not, you let me go and don’t give me the ticket.”

     

     

    Irish cop says, “Sounds fair enough, please exit your vehicle, sir.”

     

     

    The London Lawyer exits his vehicle.

     

     

    The Irish cop takes out his baton and starts beating the living ****

     

    out of the lawyer and says, “Now, ye arsehole, do ye want me

     

    to stop completely, or just slow down?”

  2. In a recent survey commissioned by the government, sevconians have

     

    proven to be the most likely to have had sex in the shower.

     

     

    The survey was carried out by a leading soap and toiletries firm.

     

     

    The results revealed that 86% of adults from Govan said that they

     

    have had sex in the shower.

     

     

    The remaining 14% said they haven’t been to prison yet.

  3. What do you call an Irishman who dresses in full cowboy regalia 24/7?

  11. This place has become a bit of a joke.

     

     

     

     

    I thank you.

  12. Speaking of jokes. Should Felix Magathe not sport a twirling bowtie and be accompanied by the sound of a 1920’s honking car horn?

  13. The wee shop had no Magners. My blind loyalty pushed me to Bulmers “crushed red berries and lime”. Tastes like cremola foam.

    You have got this cowboy boot thing all wrong.

     

     

    There are a number of reasons why the cowboy boot wearer is a happy humble soul.

     

     

    Yes they are a fashion….. ahem…….item!

     

     

    But the cowboy boot wearer tends to be a somewhat outgoing soul and wherever he goes remarkable things happen.

     

     

    For example give a cowboy boot wearer a guitar and things like this happen!

    How do I know?

     

     

    If it’s creamola foam it’s because I’m of an age. Alfactorays are evocative. Just realised I also picked up a “bold black cherry” too. Much more manly. I feel butch. Listening to Johnny Cash pretending I’m downing a sasperilla.
