Getting Breaking News whereby there seems to be a mass shooting in a church in Texas with witnesses saying there were/are as many as 20 shots fired.
Not sounding good at all

I was taught to shoot and look after guns when I was very small - later a member of the rifle club. As the years went by I came to view them as an anachronism in this day and age.
This must have been heart stopping - to be on a whale watching cruise (which is a very common tourist activity here) and have your cruise ship actually collide with the whale.
Prince Charles and Camilla have been here celebrating Canada's 150th. Many of our Indigenous aka Aboriginal aka First Nations aka Native American Indian people have opposed the celebration saying it...

A lot of fuss about nothing IMO. I am sure I would find it amusing and at least chuckle. Charles is obviously his fathers son. Philip has often been accused of being disrespectful by laughing or...
Geez - been out all day doing this and that, came home and stained some cedar planter boxes.
Just in the door turned on TV and WOW - BREAKING NEWS BREAKING NEWS re: London and a terror...

PS I've just remembered what an archaeologist who was working on the Temple of Toth told me. He said they were surprised by the amount of evidence of early Christianity.
I see on the news this morning that with Donald Trumps warning on rounding up illegal immigrants, that many are trying to flee into Canada in quite large numbers, so maybe moving the problem further...

Don't disagree with anything you've said H.
Part of the 'problem' we are having in Canada is that we presently have a Prime Minister who got elected in part because the previous PM had be 'in' a...
I have just been watching the sentencing in the retrial and now believe I must have been watching another case all along. I cannot believe how lenient the judge has been especially with the evidence...

Just WRONG - I hope he is out in general population, his filthy temper wont serve him there.
I see there is now an online petition for the government to enact article 50 immediately, I wonder how many signitures it will get? There is also a very good interactive map on the site showing the...

There was an interesting program on TV the other night investigating Tony BLiars wealth, that man has made an absolute fortune out of being in office, I hope he is held to account for the way he...
Nigel Farage has just said he will step aside as UKIP leader as he has achieved his aims.

My choices as well H. You may remember we were both impressed with Andreas performance at a debate before the referendum. Seems a safe pair of hands to lead the negotiating team. :up
Actress Caroline Aherne has died at the age of 52 after a battle with cancer.
The star was best known for her work in The Royle Family, The Mrs Merton Show and The Fast Show.
Yet another tragic loss...

I suppose you could see it that way, but isn't that the way of most comediens, they hide their remarks and observations behind another character? a bit like the 'Spitting Image' characters did.
Although I am not a big fan of the game, can I say Well done Wales for doing so well in their matches, good luck for all your other games. :up

I second that H :up
I did watch the game (Mrs G is half Welsh so I had to) but they really played a blinder and on that form could go all the way. Next a semi-final against Portugal.
So I'm just seeing Headlines in the local newspaper that we have a new Political Party forming here who wants us to become the 11th Province and leave the rest of British Columbia behind. First I've...
Woke up to the TV News of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. Happened in Orlando Florida. Over 50 dead and 53 wounded from an attack in a night club.
Was reading an article in our newspaper. Kinda sad and definitely tells another untold story. Don't know if this applies to your athletes or not but, and this is a quote:
Just hearing this morning that one of our hockey legends Gordie Howe passed away today at 88. He played hockey when the sport was just brutal. He had one of the longest hockey careers in the entire...

Hockey until recently used to be a really brutal sport here. Most of the older players have no front teeth and in the 'good old days' they never wore helmets. Fighting was rife. I flatly refused to...
There is minimal to no news here about the Olympics. I remember in years gone by soon as we'd turn the year (i.e. January of whatever year) we were bombarded with ongoing and non-stop Olympic adverts...

I know there is lots of politics now surrounding the Olympics and I do enjoy watching the highlights. Don't follow any particular sport but I do like to see the top competitors in the different...
Just turned the TV on and there is 'Breaking News' that the American singer PRINCE has passed away at his home at age 57 (or maybe 58). I liked some of his music and some I didn't but Prince has been...

It has been on TV here non-stop. I heard from some source that apparently a couple months ago he decided to start writing his memoirs and actually completed about 50 pages or so. That is a bit...
Sad to hear that the comediene Victoria Wood has died after a short illness with the dreaded cancer :( she was only 62 which is no age at all.
She would do some great standup pieces whilst playing...
Over the last couple of weeks a news story very specific to a remote, very small, First Nations Indian village has been unfolding whereby a group tried to commit suicide in a single night.

I always get a bit annoyed about all this ethnic preservation, providing it is a slow steady process then change is inevitable. We are all influenced and subjected by global events, the old British...
