Stunning endeavours on the Ben

614

Absolutely stunning tales of endeavour from those who climbed the tallest peak on these isles yesterday for the Ben Nevis Huddle to raise funds for Celtic FC Foundation.  The Foundation anchors our club to its founding principles, working locally and worldwide towards four goals:

Improve Health
Promote Equality
Encourage Learning

Tackle Poverty

It survives because lots of ordinary Celtic fans step forward, or put their hands in their pockets, because they believe Celtic is a lofty and noble cause.

If you’ve not been able to support any of the climbers direct, inspiration for the event is primarily the responsibility of Mark Cameron, you can find his Foundation linked MyDonate page here.

If you’re in business check out The Celtic Network’s new Service Finder’s opportunity to market to Celtic fans.

Visit the CQN Bookstore to get Tommy Gemmell to sign your personal copy of his book, All the Best.

    Surely every professional footballer, with practice, should be able to stick the ball in the top corner?

     

     

    Unsaveable.

    I regret very much that I’m seldom up to speed with what’s being posted.

     

     

    I’d ask you to knock the door at your closest chapel-house and say, father can I come in for a cup of tea I’ve a story to tell?

     

     

    You’ll be listened to and you’ll get a decent brew.

     

     

    Anyway, I’ve said a couple of prayers each midnight since 17 March for those on CQN who petition.

     

     

    You’ve never done that.

     

     

    Tonight, my prayers are for you, your kids and your sisters.

     

     

    You’ve beaten them. Enjoy your victory.

     

     

    Salve Regina

     

     

    Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy,

     

    our life, our sweetness and our hope.

     

    To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve:

     

    to thee do we send up our sighs,

     

    mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.

     

    Turn then, most gracious Advocate,

     

    thine eyes of mercy toward us,

     

    and after this our exile,

     

    show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

     

    O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.

     

     

    Memorare

     

     

    Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

     

    that never was it known

     

    that any one who fled to thy protection,

     

    implored thy help

     

    or sought thy intercession,

     

    was left unaided.

     

    Inspired by this confidence,

     

    We fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother;

     

    to thee do we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful;

     

    O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

     

    despise not our petitions,

     

    but in thy mercy hear and answer them. Amen.

    Mexico

     

    The Mexican coach said that everyone was against Mexico in this WC.

     

    Drivel

     

    The Mexican coach had an opportunity to rectify the Mexican supporters mistake of making an anti gay slur every time at an opponent goal kick in this WC

     

    Instead he resorted to traditionalism ….. Ring a bell?

     

    Holland had 3 penalty calls with robben ….. Nonsense conspiracy

     

    drivel

     

     

    Good bye!

    Congressman was executed and replaced by robot body double, failed opponent claims

     

    Jun 29, 2014 13:05 By Mikey Smith

     

    Challenger Tim Murray is contesting the Oklahoma republican primary, claiming his opponent is a lookalike robot and should therefore forefeit his votes

    Timothyraymurray.comDefinitely not a robot: Tim Murray is adamant that he is a human being

     

    A US congressman was replaced by a lookalike robot after being hanged in a televised execution in southern Ukraine, according to his failed election challenger.

     

     

    Timothy Ray Murray, who unsuccessfully opposed congressman Frank Lucas in last week’s Oklahoma Republican primary, made the astonishing claim on his website.

     

     

    He says he will be contesting the election and demands Lucas’ votes be transferred to him, because “it is widely known Rep. Frank D. Lucas is no longer alive.”

     

     

    In his statement, Murray is careful to make clear that he is, in fact, a human being.

     

     

    He also says: “I will NEVER use [an] Artificial Intelligence lookalike to voice what The Representative’s Office is doing nor own a robot look alike.

     

     

    “The world knows the truth,” he continued. “And we must always share the truth.”

     

     

    Alleged robot Lucas won Tuesday’s election with 82% of the vote, compared to 5.2% of Oklahomans who voted for genuine human being Murray.

     

     

    Lucas told local TV news station KFOR: “It does come as kind of a shock to read that you’re not you…Many things have been said about me, said to me during course of my campaigns. This is the first time I’ve ever been accused of being a body double or a robot”

     

     

    In a press release, Murray goes into great detail on his theory that Lucas and “a few other Oklahoma and other states’ Congressional members” were hanged in a televised execution by the ‘World Court’ in southern Ukraine “on or about Jan. 11, 2011.”

     

     

    Lucas, who represented Oklahoma in congress for 20 years told KFOR: “I’ve never been to Ukraine.”

     

     

    On his website, Murray lists among his career achievements the blocking of a plan to place people on a Starship without their knowledge, and a plot to illegally implant a mind control chip in every person on earth.

     

     

    His policies include delivering a balanced budget and providing protection for Agriculture.

     

     

    Murray ran for Congress in the 2012 general election, winning the nomination of the Democratic party. In that election he won 20% of the overall vote.

  21. I went to see Arbroath V Aberdeen on Saturday. 0-7. Arbroath were OK but the gulf in class was enormous. It brought home to me just how limited were the opposition in the last two years for the deid Club . It will take more than the deadly scoring ability of Boyd to transform that team. I also discovered that Hearts have signed Gomis from Dundee United. That boy is a player.Mibbery apart,I can`t really see how Sevco are such hot favourites to win the division.

    if Sevco got an invite to La Liga the SMSM would have them a favourites to win it.
