Two posts in a day!!!! whats going on!!

Here are some fun filled strange laws:

1. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast is legally the property of the King; the tail, on the other hand, belongs to the Queen - in case she needs the bones for her corset.

2. In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman’s genitals but is forbidden from looking directly at them during the examination; he may only see their reflection in a mirror.

3. In London, it is illegal to flag down a taxi if you have the plague.

4. In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.

5. In Boulder, Colorado, it is illegal to kill a bird within the city limits and also to “own” a pet – the town’s citizens, legally speaking, are merely “pet minders”.

6. In the city of York, it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow.

7. In Chester, Welshmen are banned from entering the city before sunrise and from staying after sunset.

8. In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon more than six-feet long.

9. In Florida, unmarried women who parachute on Sundays can be jailed.

10. In the UK, a man who feels compelled to urinate in public can do so only if he aims for his rear wheel and keeps his right hand on his vehicle.

hope you enjoyed those!!

We will be doing some practical work as well as help running a youth club. Im really excited about this and feel that god will really work in and through us during this time.

And so all thats left to do is pass my exams and earn as much money as possible over the summer months.

baths

After having my second bath in 2 days i think i may have been converted.
So i would urge anyone who participates in manual labour or sporting activities to take a bath after your work put on some nice music ( i would recommend explosions in the sky or sigur ros) possibly a candle or two ( i haven't done this yet but im sure it would be nice) and some nice bubble bath especially Radox!!!



by the way im still straight

Update

Haven't posted anything of real importance for a while so thought i would do a wee update on where i am at the min.

My name

Was watching the rob bell dvd the other day entitled "name"
It got me thinking
Can the question "what is my name?" ever really be answered?
surely it would take a lifetime to fully consider all the things that define you as a person.
hmmmm pondering......

New Posts

So i had a great idea for a post on saturday and today sunday i have totally forgotten what it was just shows you how much it played on my mind.

I shall post it when i remember it.

Nostalgia

Its funny how something so small can trigger so many emotions.
For those who dont know i lived in ecuador for six months from jan 06 till july 06, this is nearly two years ago and it hit me how quickly i have forgotten so many of the fantastic memories i have of that place.
I lost more or less all my photos of ecuador when my computer crashed last year and at the time i was real annoyed but i figured im not overly sentimental and thought it wouldnt be such a big deal. However as we've started uncluttering our house in anticipation of moving i came across a cd called ecuador 06. So i stuffed it into my laptop and realised it was all my dad's photos that he took when him and mum came to visit.

The simple act of looking at a few photos brought back so much nostalgia for me, so i thought id just post a few photos up and let you guys see how beautiful a country ecuador is.


Il put some more on my flicker.

Also want to leave you all with a question:

What is it that makes northern ireland home when the world is waiting to be discovered?
