Intersting comments yesterday by The Bishop of Winchester and former Lord Chief Justice Lord Wolf about how the rights of Christians are denied in UK courts.
It seems that the rights of Christians are being hit by the human rights law.
My personal opinion of the Human Rights Law is that is borders on the ridiculous.
How can you give "the same "rights to a paedophile whilst retaining the human rights of children not to be molested.
Doesn't make sense. There must be occasions where certain elements have to forego their rights.
Thought for today:- Is the law always sensible?
JoKe for today:- An incompetent lawyer can delay a trial for months. A competent lawyer for even longer.

They don't really die.
Who are they?
I watched A Christmas Carol on TV last night. This is one of my favourite stories as I am a great
fan of Charles Dickens.
It got me thinking about all the people that I have known in my life such as my parents, aunts
and uncles, co-workers etc who have passed on.
I was amazed at how influenced I was by some of them hopefully mostly for the good.
So really they haven't "died" whilst there is someone who is still carrying on with their
influences.
I think most of us have things to be grateful for which have been passed down to us and affected
our characters.
Thought for today:- Are you grateful for the wisdom passsed on to you?
Joke for today:- Happiness: good health and a bad memory

In 1803 the French sold New Orleans and surrounding area to USA. The Louisiana Purchase
In 1915 the Allies retreated from the Dardanelles. (Two of my uncles served there)

The Threatened Beaver
There is a very interesting article in this month's The Oldie Magazine (I'm a Youngie actually
but they let me read it!)
This article is about the marvellous beaver and how they are the most accomplished engineers of
the animal kingdom.
Not only do they build impressive dams which can be 8 foot high and three hundred feet in
length they also know to build a secondary dam. This second dam is build downstream to catch
the overflow which creates a pond which counterbalances the downward pressure on the first
dam. Then a third dam is build upstream to prevent a sudden rush of water following a sudden
downpour. Brilliant.
However their numbers are being decimated* by trappers.
So this lovely creatury is being sacrificed so that their pelts can be used as a fashion accessory.
Sick or what?Thought for today: Are we humans any better than other animals?
* Decimated. I was once told off for using this term in a report by my then managing director. He wrote that it meant reduced by or to ten. Actually according to the dictionary I could use it in the context I was describing!
Joke for today:- In his spare time my granddad races pigeons. I don't know wht as he never beats them.

In 1984 Britain and China signed the agreement to return Hong Kong to China in 1997

Why do we answer the phone first?
Hi there,
Have you noticed that the phone ringing nearly always takes precedence over someone who has come to see you?
It's possible that a person has come miles to meet with you and then the phone rings and we pick it up to answer the person who lives next door. Odd isn't it?
I'm working hard on my new website which is proving very successful www.johnbeaumontcashmachine.com/bootcamp.
I hope it is very helpful to whose struggling to set up an internet business. I know I once was terribly confused.
Thought for today:- Do you take a step back sometimes to evaluate where you want to go next?
Joke for today:-Why do you never have self service massage parlours?
