Jesus Christ

Quoted from KingstonMariner

I know you weren’t necessarily suggesting it was a cast iron solution. That’s why I said I like your thinking outside the box.

The cost of making a desert fertile is not only in money. The water has got to come from somewhere else.

Good thinking. Now while you are pondering this, would you kindly pack your essential belongings, whatever you can fit in your car. And tell your neighbours to do the same. We’ve got lots of Welsh people whose ancestors were kicked out of Lincolnshire by the Anglo-Saxons, and they’re moving in. If you want to stick around you can move into the Fitties.

Personally, I blame the Romans for all this. They built a wall to keep the Scots out but didn't build one to keep the Welsh in! Incidentally, it's also the Romans' fault that Jesus was crucified as they failed to protect him; which is what this thread is really about.

Funnily enough I've always thought I was of good old Lincolnshire / Lindsey stock but my Ancestry DNA results show that there's some Welsh genes in there... don't know exactly how they arrive at this result but maybe my ancestors were part of the tribe that ran from the Saxons and Vikings. Perhaps I should adopt Newport as a second team!

The thing about those that run away is that their genes get passed on unlike those heroes who die 😆.

Can they really tell the difference between English and Welsh (or Scottish and Irish for that matter)? I know they can tell where someone was brought up due to analysis of minerals in your bones etc. But can they really tell from DNA? Maybe the techniques have improved so much.

But, It’s highly likely that most English are a little bit ‘Welsh’ anyway. The Britons were most likely not wiped out by the Anglo-Saxons who came in waves over a couple of centuries totalling a few hundred thousand against a population at any one time totalling a few millions. As both cultures relied on the same muscle-powered weapons the task of killing a whole population would be impossible. It might be possible in a few places but once word spread the whole population would resist and the aggressors’ force multipliers weren’t strong enough to overcome them all. It’s most likely just a replacement of warrior elites. The incomers would have needed the Labour of the indigenous lower orders if they were going to live in any comfort.

Happy Birthday Jesus

Happy Birthday Jesus

And Chris Kamara, 64 today.

Happy Christkamaramas one and all!

Happy birthday Chris Kamara!!!

Load of nonsense. And even if he did exist, what did he do for us exactly to deserve worship? Got nailed to a cross? Not like he had a choice is it?

Bit harsh on Chris Kamara.

Felt I need to chip in here again.  Jesus was a radical that preached love and good in a world which is often dark and nasty which is why he got killed. It's this message which is the light of good 👊 will always overcome the bad in the long run  that will stand the test of time and give hope to all especially those who are suffering greatly mentally and physically.

At the end of the day were all sinners . If we all tried to become a bit better and showed a bit more love to others and collectively tried to respect our environment a bit more  the world would be a far better place.

Amen.
