In recent weeks hundreds of you have contributed to our Mary’s Meals project to build a school kitchen in Malawi for the 1221 pupils who are enrolled at the Kholoni Primary School in Mchinii, and then for the 746 pupils at St Joseph’s Primary in Kasungu.
The £7000 required for the first school reached Mary’s Meals some weeks ago and the building was opened and serving meals yesterday.
Here it is:
We have a lot to do today but there is an excellent chance that the £7000 required for St Joseph’s will be raised and in Mary’s Meals account before 470 of us sit down in the Kerrydale Suite for the CQteN St Patrick’s Day dinner tonight.
Here’s what you’ve done. You have funded two facilities which between them will feed 1967 children, all of whom live below the UN measure of absolute poverty, in the 17th poorest country in the world.
Most days, for almost all children, this will be their main meal, it will often be their only meal. As a result, they will attend school in greater numbers, 30% greater, if they are an average Mary’s Meals, Malawi, school. They will gain a better education and have better opportunities in life. They will build stronger bodies, more able to resist infection. Child mortality will fall.
The spirit of Brother Walfrid, of Celtic, is alive within you. You can get involved here.
See you at the party!
Seville, The Celtic Movement, launches tonight.
“CNN reported that on the day before the game 3% of the earth’s flying population were all headed for Seville and were sporting a Celtic scarf – a statistic that no sector of industry could ignore and which would change the policy of many airlines as a result.”

Such is the good news on here today — Mary`s Meals and the CQNten — that tonight`s game just pops into my mind now and again! I hope the players are more focussed than I am.
I am having a special wee Spanish Night with my girlfriend tonight and looking forward to it but I won`t be surprised if my mind occasionally travels to the Kerrydale Suite where, I am certain, a very, very good night will be had by all.
Enjoy, Lhads and Lhassies.
Cheerio,

Apparently you can’t drive into CP from London Road.
Dearie me.
They are wondering on sevco media if this new league title contributes to a 6th star >}
There’s deluded !!!!
Fool me once shame on you.
Fool me twice shame on me

Total respect to Paul and everyone who has contributed to this appeal. Once again we have shown we are so much more than just a football club.
Sorry I cannot make it along tonight, would have been nice to put some faces to some monikers. Hope y’all have a great night and the team does the business at Rugby Park..
3-0 to the good guys.

I saw a TV programme earlier this week, entitled “EDL Girls: Don’t call me racist”. It featured various slack jawed, unattractive, unconscious comedians.
It also helped explain your permanent bad mood and the cognitive dissonance involved in holding to a concept of The Master Race whilst looking at that lot.
I don’t envy you the gene pool you are swimming in.
Guess you won’t be there under your blog name tonight.
Shame!
In more ways than one.
Is it time yet, is it time yet….
Very blustery and dark-ish here in ole EK. Tome to get organised, Picked up at 6 and drink in hand by 6.45. Can’t wait.
For aybody providing live updates in Blane Valley, Jobo says “hello!”
Well done cqn
Anybody staying at the premier inn at the end of London road? Myself and mrs LB will be getting a taxi to paradise in an hour.
Looking forward to a great evening!

Evening ghuys & ghals, I hope most of you have a good night tonight… and for those who aren’t so lucky, will you be staying in with me to “watch” the match?
That said, I can’t find it listed on BBC or Sky. Is it actually being screened? Or even audio commentated live online?
One of the best comments I heard re their league win the other day.
“It’s the equivalent of winning the Tour de France on a motorbike”

Something along the lines of: read article, teary eye, humility then happiness.
There’s more work to be done. I’ll contribute.
If the worlds current population was reduced to 100 people, 26 of that 100 would be children. Of those 26 exactly 13 would be living in poverty and starvation. Mind boggling.
THE EXILED TIM, surely you mean…

…that you bought on Finance and then reneged on your repayments.”
Thanks ghuys, but I don’t do betting sites and don’t have access to BT Sport.
:o(
…and I suspect there’ll be few updates on here, as almost everyone has gone out for the night!

I think the air strikes on Gaza, which you mention, are in retaliation for the firing of over 60 missiles into southern Israel, over the last few days. Equally unreported by media, but fact none the less
lilys
Correct.Bamboo,you state that the Palestinians are under a cruel and ruthless regime.A bit like the numerous regimes surrounding the hapless Jewish people put into the Gaza strip by Britain and left to fend for themselves.The Palestinians had a wonderful offer of peace back then,but led on by their Arab neighbours,refused.Till this day they still preach the total annihilation of Israel,as the only solution.Facts.You may not like them,but they are there.
I hope the CQN crew doon at Cheltenham have had a good day.
Love, ye should let it linger.
Or shall I raise you, my trigger finger?

I’ll be getting live updates off tinternet with you all the way

‘A bit like the numerous regimes surrounding the hapless Jewish people put into the Gaza strip by Britain and left to fend for themselves.’

When you put it like that it’s almost as if the Palestinians were being required to atone for European guilt over the Holocaust.
I love CQN when there is something buzzing …..so have a great night ghirls and bhoys and look forward to hearing all the stories from the Kerrydale Suite…. and all for a great cause.
God Bless
C’ mon the Cellic, give us Five High !

Many congratulations from a long-time lurker in Vancouver, on both CQTen and on the amazing work achieved raising money for Mary’s Meals.
I’m away for a lie down before tonight’s title decider.
CQten……………….Neil Lennon might pop in for some autographs from the ole CQN Charity stalwarts

Do you think the Bible is not the Word of God?
I like the way you analyse things, heck, I’ve even said you are a Marxist, I know you are very principled, it is very obvious.
Aye, well… It’ll decide what they put in the titles of the main items on tomorrow’s Scottish sports pages.
First pint aged fifteen was a Becks in The Georgian Hotel Coatbridge.
If everyone is in the Kerrydale Suite tonight I might have a chance of winning the quiz…

I remember my first pint, it was a pint of heavy probably somewhere in darkest Hamilton where you looked 15 but nobody even cared about your school tie.
The ol’tollybooth busy, quite a few well dressed chaps about. This CQTEN thingy feels very like a first date. Nervous excitement.
