@DreyfusJames I would feel very uncomfortable too. I think I would say 'excuse me', get out of that seat, and go and sit right near the driver, and put my bag on the other seat nest to me so he can't sit there.

@PenguinUKBooks Terry Pratchett. Can you come over for an evening of chat?

@NooPuddles Maybe low on B12 or underactive thyroid? Ask for a check? Also switch to decaf tea - tea has a surprising amount of caffeine so it gives you the boost then the crash. God bless you

@OSacrumCorIesu I believe some chapters of that book are describing a play: a dramatic enactment to bring home to the people the seriousness of their turning away from God. If you imagine it performed, with gasps and muttering from the crowd, it makes sense.

@jenny_symmons hahaha that made me laugh Janny! I think I only saw it because Tom and I are in contact on twitter (this is his sister Sheena)

@FrDidymus a five-day residential course at Gladstone's Library. Heaven on earth. Don't know if it's still running though...

[Encouraging Aunty @EncouragingAunt]

@Tobias_Italia Ours just arrived Toby. It is a beautifully made book. I look forward to reading it,

[Encouraging Aunty @EncouragingAunt]

@jenny_symmons Or- another version of my brother Tom's response - This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through. If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do? The angel beckons me from Heaven's open door, and I can't feel at home in this world any more. Definitely non-Dom, me!

@EvanDavidC @RevIanWhitehead Evan, God bless you, but don't relax into the Baptist scene until you've experienced your first church members' meeting. They can be horrendous. Remember the congregation can vote the minister out. It's a different world. We are currently sheltering uncomfortably in CofE
