    Sorry to hear about your loss, Mystic Trev.

    PN, I've met many Quakers, and have found them to be non-dogmatic, supportive, generous, friendly and positive people. They don't fight wars, they make money, they support the poor and the oppressed.

    I'm a kind of a pragmatist. I don't believe we can objectively determine whether one religion is truer than another.

    However I (possibly misguidedly) believe we can judge them not on their temples or palaces, but on their good works, the benefits they bestow on the weaker people, if you like- their kindness, which I think is a grossly under-rated quality or attribute these days. In which case I'd reckon they'd be at the high end of the scale.

    100% agree with this. :T

    Lydia, Poppet is a crossbreed. Yes, they've given her a fancy made up name so they can charge lots as they do these days, but that doesn't change the fact she's a crossbreed. Mother is a jack russell with a lovely temperament which I'm hoping Poppet has inherited.

    More decorating here today, seems to be going on forever.

    I think Robin Ellis may be getting a bit too long in the tooth and, sadly, Angharad Rees died four years ago :p

    I also like Naga Munchetty. I like her dry sense of humour and she's a very, very clever person.

    I find her annoying, self-promoting, arrogant and ... thick as !!!!!! :)

    She never listens to the answers of people she's interviewing, so her next question is always following her "assumed position" and not taking on board the answer that might indicate the basis of her opinion was ill-informed.

    She talks over people she's not really interested in listening to.

    She's disjointed, annoying .... grrrrr.... can't bear the woman :)

    That's weird - that it would allow a grave accent but not an acute one.
