So let's just make sure it gets into the papers, shall we?"The cleaner is lovely and does a great job in the library. It was an honest mistake and just one of those things so we would never want her to feel bad about it," he added.

A couple who drove 300 miles for a 'mini break' amid the coronavirus lockdown have been fined and had their car seized after being caught sleeping inside.
Enforcement action was taken after a police officer found the pair flouting government guidance while on patrol in Falmouth, Cornwall.
The two of them had travelled all the way from Kent without insurance and a driving licence.
The probation officer who came across them, under her Twitter name of The Hungry Copper, shared the incident on social media in a post which has been liked and retweeted hundreds of times.
She wrote: 'Found 2 people sleeping in a car in #Falmouth Checked their details & both live in #Kent & had driven down for a mini break.
'But driver had No Insurance & No Driving Licence! Car seized & 2 #FixedPenaltyNotices issued for Breaching the #Covid_19 #lockdown #restrictions #StayHome'
People have since rushed to praise the officer's actions, including Devon and Cornwall Police's Supt Adrian Leisk, who wrote that he 'struggles to comprehend the selfishness' of people in such cases.
He added: 'Important message for those still thinking it's a good idea to ignore the Government guidance; you will be fined, you will be turned around (and in this case we'll seize your car) good work Emma.'
Other users described the incident as 'remarkable' and said it was 'selfishness at its worst and policing at its best', while others questioned how the couple would get back home to Kent without their vehicle.
Trying out a new catapult, taking a quad bike for a "walk" and buying drugs are just some of the random excuses people have used for breaking coronavirus lockdown guidelines.
Forces in Wales have released examples of just some of the reasons people have given for supposed "essential" travel.
Police said most people were following advice to stay home.
However they said a "a small minority had selfishly put others at risk" and had been fined.
It is almost five weeks since strict rules were announced to limit the spread of coronavirus which will continue into May.
Police say the message is now so clear that individuals who are outside for reasons other than those permitted in the guidelines would face "greater enforcement activity", including a fixed penalty notice of £60.
Among the excuses given to Gwent Police officers were:
"My son is a rubbish cook so I take him food every day"
"I've just been to feed the fish"
"I've been to buy nail clippers for the dog"
"I've bought a new catapult and wanted to try it out"
"I don't watch the news - what's going on?"
"I'm taking my mate into Newport to buy drugs"
"I am taking my quad bike for a walk and I promise I am not going ride it around a field"
"I thought I heard someone may be in trouble, so I came to have a look but I don't know their name or remember the person who told me it".
Burma ShaveThere once was a man from Kent.. whose dick was so long it was bent. To stay out of trouble. He put it in doubled. And instead of coming he went."
A church in London has continued selling a fake Covid-19 cure, despite being under investigation by the charity watchdog.
The Charity Commission launched a probe into the Kingdom Church, in south London, earlier this month for selling coronavirus "protection kits".
But instead of stopping the sale, the church renamed the kits and is now selling "divine cleansing oil".
The church said it was "convinced" the oil cured Covid-19.
Bishop Climate Wiseman, of the Kingdom Church which is based in Camberwell, claimed his kits - a bottle of oil and some red yarn, priced at £91 - would protect his followers from the virus.
When the story came to light, the Charity Commission, which regulates charities in England and Wales, as well as Trading Standards launched an investigation into the church for selling the fake cure.
But BBC London, posing as a customer this week, found the church was still selling so-called "divine cleansing oil" which it says prevents and cures Covid-19 if taken three times a day.
In secretly-recorded conversations, BBC London was told the oil would work if inhaled via a towel or hot water in a bowl.
An employee of the Kingdom Church said on the phone: "We are helping the nation.
"We are convinced this cures coronavirus. We have sold nearly 2,000 of these."

No, I did not write the above quote, BB did some time ago.

I think you mean that human beings tend to intolerance (perhaps even of religion) and that lack of understanding is a common trait among people.
Trauma... what trauma? This is my truth and my reality which I live by every day. I'm calm, cool, and collected, and above all self-realized.MajGenl.Meade wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 5:58 am...

Meade, you can refer me to whatever you want and your thinking will still be skewed to me, and my fellow atheists.MajGenl.Meade wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 4:19 pm... I refer to your abusive upbringing by Roman Catholic methods; which is not to blame you for your understandable prejudice... If you want to hold up the most pernicious, lying and evil "practitioners" of a claimed belief as typical, then we'll take Joe Stalin as the archetype atheist...
I understand why you are so bitterly obtuse. If you read with comprehension you would note that your paragraph above exactly proves my point.RayThom wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 4:59 pmAs for us atheists, trying to lump us into a nefarious, murderous, class that includes Stalin is just plain christian fundamentalist preaching, doom and gloom, bullshit. 99.99% of atheists practice benign, live and let live, humanism. More than you can say judging by christian history -- now and then. All varieties of religion, and religious cults, for that matter.
We agree. So much for your "just plain christian fundamentalist preaching" bullshitDoes that sound right to you? It doesn't to me.
