18 years ago today, I was baptised in the River Wear. Each year since, I've learned more and more about how amazing Jesus is.

"Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home."

You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one zone the whole time. What are you picking?

[Adam Thomas @AdamMerrivale]

I don't understand why people complain about the £200 open window fine (£75 if paid in 28 days)

We had to introduce the law because pigeons kept flying into houses and people were feeding them and the pigeons were becoming too powerful. Do we really want to be run by pigeons?

@alysrtarr Yes

Opened my window in the UK and police came round and installed this.

Was told its illegal to open windows and got a £200 fine. This country is a joke

I've recently finished a chronological readthrough of John Dickson Carr's 23 Dr Gideon Fell novels. So, this week on Murder at the Manse, here is my official ranking of them all:

It’s is a really dark day when a talk about the history of ancient Israel and Judah is cancelled by the British Museum because of ‘security concerns’.
Is this what we do now? We cave in?

This explains the 11 herbs and spices, though I do wonder which herb/spice betrayed the Colonel and was removed from the recipe

The Christian centre of gravity (the place on earth you must stand to have the equal number of Christians to your north and south, and east and west) is moving South-Eastwards by 150 yards every day!

DON’T say “restaurant,” which is from French. The native English word is SNEEDINGHOUSE.

[Adam Thomas @AdamMerrivale]

@Jairus_Girl This sounds amazing

[Adam Thomas @AdamMerrivale]

Proposal: A restaurant where all the main courses are pork pies and all the desserts are shaped like pork pies

[L R Hay 📚The Young Testament💫 @Jairus_Girl]

In other news, went out for lunch yesterday and my dad had an apple pie shaped like a pork pie.
With ice cream.
I've never known cognitive dissonance til now 😵‍💫

Forgot phone so no pic, but this is 💯 truth fact

(Just think, @AdamMerrivale - you could have pork pie both courses)

[Adam Thomas @AdamMerrivale]

The replies are a predictably awful illustration of why people find it hard to be open about mental ill-health
