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.”

T4, where are you sitting tonight ? Be good to catch up for a minute or so – well I’ve divided the 7 hours by the number of people who want to meet you and reckon that’s all the time you can give to each person !
My very best wishes to everyone going to the CQN Dinner this evening. Have a great time and celebrate everything that Paul67 has made possible.
Rather than sit at home and sulk at not being able to be in Glasgow with you all this evening, I will be tucking into dinner at one of the world’s legendary 3-star restaurants. 30 year old burgundy and Loup en Croute among other delicacies.
Despite this, I still wish I could have been in Glasgow……….
Och well.

Hi fholks!
Just popped in to share something that made me smile today. Moved to Leeds recently and had been talking with a colleague about the Uli Hoeness situation.
I clued him up on the whole Sevco story. He summed up what I imparted by hitting back with this little ditty about Bristol City;
‘It’s a bit like Bristol City. Commonly referred to as the ’82-ers’ because in their brief period of being an old Division 1 team in the 70s, they decided they would go and spend lots of money on ridiculous transfer fees for failing old men and offering everyone 5 year contracts at inflated wages, such was their arrogance at thinking that their self appointed ‘sleeping giant’ status and prestige was enough to keep them at the very top, when they fell out of Division 1 and fell so far so quickly, bumping their fat asses on every league in successive seasons until they hit rock bottom, they bankrupted themselves and had to relaunch as Bristol City 1982 Ltd or whatever it is. City HATE any reference to 82-ers, but that’s what they are. If you’re going to talk about your ‘history’, surely whatever happened before 1982 surely refers to a different club seeing as that’s how you kept your status as a football league club instead of disappearing into the football graveyard that you should have gone to with a little bit of honour.
Rangers fans might want to think on about that – if it’s a new club for whatever flimsy purpose, then it’s a new club. You can’t have it both ways. As MK Dons found out when they tried suggesting that they were still effectively Wimbledon to keep Wimbledon fans before AFC got formed.’
Sorry for the longish post, but was urged to share it.
Fighting the good fight down in Ole Englandshire,
Hope everyone going to the CQteN thing tonight has a ball!!
Hail Hail,

After the Gold Cup, I am now buying cyber drinks for everybody.
What are you all having?
petec, interesting and people like Churchill would do whatever they had to do to get on. I am reading a book about the causes of the First World War which attribute it to the Secret Elite a group of Empire building British politicians and big wigs with links to the North American equivalents the Mayflower Society which basically wanted Britania to rule the world.
Funnily enough when Churchill, Liberal MP for Dundee made his Bradford speech he was slated for being a friend of Devlin of the AOH. Tory’s playing the Orange card!
Look what I found on the British Newspaper Archive http://archive.scotsman.com/viewer/bl/0000540/19140317/265/0009 … Tory mocks Churchill & great pal Devlin Pres of A. O. Hibernians

Yes Ernie, Masons not being entirely charitable so pay up to the VAT man from membership subscriptions.
Quintessentially Masonic team don’t like paying VAT either. Must be a Masonic thing.
Uly – no, heading straight to CP after 6pm. See you later mate.

Table 39 with lennybhoy , pogmathonyahun , johann Murdoch and others . See you there
First pint (actually 1/2 litre) was in a bar in a small Austrian Village on a school skiing holiday once we checked that the teachers had gone into the other bar in the village.
First kiss came 2 nights later in the same bar – don’t tell Mrs HJ tonight!
Work finished for the week.
A good win required tonight from the Bhoys.
See you all either in the BV or at CP Hai Hail
If you are not attending, then have a great weekend .
Neganon
I enjoy reading your posts actually kept some of your past contributions just see how many of your Armageddon type predictions came to fruition. Most were a bit wide of the mark but some were uncannily bang on the money. You provide a good balance on here, Hope I bump into you tonight table 35 is where the action is
Anyone , what time do the festivities start – don’t wanna miss a minute
Sanna
I have not posted for two weeks or more due to computer problems. But I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Paul and all involved in CQN on this tenth anniversary. Even when things are tough on here we know that deep down it is all to promote the greater good of the club we all love.
What is most pleasing about this evening is the contribution not only to the feeding of the children but the fact that it will enable so many to receive an education and the chance for a better life.
Someone posted that this particular form of fund raising takes us all back to our origins. Bro Walfrid and the men round that table in St Mary’s would be proud to see that their efforts have never been forgotten by true Celtic fans. I hope tonight that someone will toast the memory of those giants in our history.
Sadly I will not be there tonight but I hope everyone has a well-deserved enjoyable evening with three points to make the evening even more memorable.
Lastly, thanks Paul for your kind thought.
Sanna – 6:30pm mate.

So, once the carnage is unleashed tonight is the blog going to have tumbleweed blowing about or will it go off the scale with increasingly unintelligible posts appearing as the casualties mount?
Also, what about a sweep on the number of ‘unreserved apologies’ floating in tomorrow.
