Salads will be made exclusively of Romaine lettuce. And the box by the till marked "TIPS" should not be used to give gratuities, only suggestions for the identity of the next Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster. Edited by OsullivanB, Wednesday, 3.

We'll have retiring collections. Cricket coaching will be available, at RCnet (named after the BIshops Conference website).

As a pensioner and probably prone to arthritis, the pain in the fingers will rule it out. Retrospective apologies Po1. I might have shown you some respect if I'd known earlier that you were a pensioner. Not too late to say how sorry I am to learn about the arthritis though. You must pray to Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori for help with it. Edited by OsullivanB, Thursday, 4. December 2008, 00:21.

"Despite the assumption that children's media are free of sexual content, our analyses suggest that these media depict a rich and pervasive heterosexual landscape," wrote researchers Emily Kazyak and Karin Martin, in a report published in the latest issue of the Sociologists for Women in Society (SWS) publication Gender & Society. Kazyak and Martin said they studied the role of heterosexual relationships in several of the highest-grossing G-rated films between 1990-2005. The results, say the researchers, illustrate two ways that the children's films "construct heterosexuality": through "depictions of hetero-romantic love as exceptional, powerful, transformative, and magical," and "depictions of interactions between gendered bodies in which the sexiness of feminine characters is subjected to the gaze of masculine characters." "Characters in love are surrounded by music, flowers, candles, magic, fire, balloons, fancy dresses, dim lights, dancing and elaborate dinners," the researchers observed. "Fireflies, butterflies, sunsets, wind and the beauty and power of nature often provide the setting for - and a link to the naturalness of - hetero-romantic love." The SWS press release on the research blamed what they called the "old ideals" of romantic relationships, specifically those found the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, which in many instances inspired the films' storylines, for "such heavily gendered depictions and glorified portrayals of heterosexual relationships." The team says the results point to heterosexuality achieving a "taken-for-granted status" "because hetero-romance is depicted as powerful." Well I never.

Now for all those adhering to merlot/cab sauv etc., please do not venture into the West of Scotland. Buckfast has even been a point within the Scottish Parliament - because of is popularity. Metropolitanism rules-OK!

Not a chance. I never had any interest in Disney even before I developed a principled aversion to it. The cartoons just do not appeal to me. Never have.

Metropolitanism rules-OK! Hi Tomais, We visited the Scottish Parliament a couple of weeks ago, when they were holding an exhibition. On entering, the security guards checked us , like going through customs, and took from us all the metal, including the removal of my husbands belt from his trousers, [his trousers were nearly falling down] !. So , this was the ritual humiliation of the English by the Scots and a payback time. Edited by Poesy, Saturday, 4. July 2009, 11:42.

Well let us all hope that that did not also include your poor man being more so exposed,and there for all concerned being truely humiliated ! Believe me had you a bottle of the afore said " tonic wine"it would have been immediately confiscated for first, second if not third hand testing. Thankyou for visiting Holyrood.As to pronounciation many think that Hollyrood ie wring as indeed Holy Rood can be; An an ancient spelling / pronounciation was- Haelly Rood. So there are many differences. When in the city centre did you pass through the Cowgate and see Saint Patrick's Church ? This is just hlaf mile up from the Parliament. The Redemptorists are most welcoming-seven days a week. Finally what did you think of your visit? People and building ? Yours kindly Tom

Yours kindly Tom Tomais, The Scottish Parliament is an impressive building inside, but the architecture outside looks a bit hit and miss. I wonder with regards to the Parliament, whether there is an importance in the matters dicussed or dealt with in that building that corresponds to the rather large scale of the building , if you get what I mean, we went into the debating chamber. As a Scot myself, I would say that Edinburgh is the premier UK city ahead of London. It is appalling what the banks have inflicted on the people and the economy in Scotland. The people are very, very friendly and Edinburgh is a cultured city. Scots are on the whole. Most people there , including the taxi drivers don't like the idea of the trams that are now gounging up the streets for. We did pass St. Patricks Church , next time we will go inside. We did visit the Sacred Heart Church in Lauriston , where they have wonderful immense paintings of the stations of the cross , about 100 years old. My husband bought a book on Adam Smith , from an antiquarian bookshop in West Port, as he is researching on Scottish enonomy. Apologies Maybe we should start a new thread about Scottish economy .
	Domine Jesu, noverim me .

Adam Smith and David Hume ; re Hume he died with a Jesuit friend of a few years standing by him; an incident not generaly acknowledged. Might I reccomend, to Mr Poesy, Arthur Herman's book on the Scottish Enlightenment;and Why Scottish Philosphy Matters by professor Alexander Brodie of Glasgow University. To side step an Edinburgh revolution I will not refer to " trams".S4ecular Edinburgh is a misnomer; The Sacred Heart at Lauriston is a vibrant eucumenical unit as is Saint Patricks; teh Scottish Catholic Observer,( yes not one of the metropolitan publications- like my "bete noi"r The Tablet), was relaunched at the end of last year, well worth reading if as yet not so via on line. Mirarlles' up turned boat - well yes plus the poor internal finishing; perhaps a poor thing Poesy,but our own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
