Christian rights cases go before Strasbourg court - a case of double standards?

Yes but logic may also be based on needing to remain famous for being famous. I live next door to one of her many ex's, not that she was ever married to him. Good luck to her, I guess, but the main point here is the extent to which marriage accommodates the things those with faith often frown on. Page 3 model behaviour (natch!), psychics, a new partner every year, three children by three different fathers, ostentatious wealth, a two finger salute etc. How can anyone discuss it seriously in conceptual terms?

I agree entirely.

Or a Sun-kissed beach?

Sorry - that just popped out.

To be fair, she didn't have a pink Cinderella style carriage this time but then she has only been going out with this one for a month. Shame she had to break off a prior engagement to marry him. Revealing a good understanding of strategic planning, she has also provided some useful context on the history of the well-respected institution. If this isn't extremely serious stuff, is anything now?

Keeping abreast of this story, the Zsa Zsa Gabor comparison will probably, er, hold up the longest. It was Arthur Askey, from what I remember, who said, when asked how it had been, dancing with ZZG, "I could neither see where I was going, nor hear the music!"

It's not on You Tube unfortunately - it would have been a great clip for a snowy day in Croydon.

If refused admittance or subjected to any other detriment on the grounds of their sexual orientation it would be unlawful discrimination .No matter the source of the decision to discriminate of the discriminator .

I think this gets to the heart of some of this
there is a perception about that somehow some groups of people are treated as if they were immune from the laws that apply to us all
historically this has been the case with the church (and still is in some instances)
now the boot appears to be on the other foot they are getting all up in arms about it
this has more to do with perception than reality

I'm sorry, that post really made me laugh - is Croydon such a desperate place to live in that a video of Katie Price and her new squeeze (I give it 2 months) would bring joy to the denizens of Croydon as they contemplate their snowbound Hell?

As long as two months?

Much as the news of her marriage took me to The Sun for the first time since the last time, I had in mind the clip of Arthur Askey and Zsa Zsa Gabor.

As for the snow, it can be like Siberia here. I didn't see a health worker for the first five months of my life (1962-63) and as recently as two years ago achieved 10 inches. It lasted for three weeks too.

I haven't been near Croydon in just under a year - looks beautiful
