Preaching
 

As much as I appreciate somebody trying to guilt trip me into believing.. is there any need for this on broadway?

Re: Preaching
 

Oh dear, the Young Conservatives aren't out in Accy again are they?

Thankfully, due to suspected swine flu, my trip to town has been cancelled.

Re: Preaching
 

:confused::confused::confused::confused:
....something missing?

Re: Preaching
 

Religious preaching margaret on broadway in town through use of a microphone and loud speakers!

Re: Preaching
 

wow is Accy turning into Manchester?

you get this all the time in Manchester Centre, if we believe then we believe if we dont then we dont need it shoving down our throats

has the person got a sandwich board attached to him/her by any chance?

Re: Preaching
 

reminds me of something from 'oranges are not the only fruit'

are they filming a new version of it by any chance?

Re: Preaching
 

Are you suggesting that religious freedoms should be curtailed?

Sounds very draconian.

Who'll be next, that is to be silenced?

Re: Preaching
 

they must have hidden when i was down n hour ago.:D

Re: Preaching
 

Perhaps they leave the old sinners alone, and concentrate on the young, and woefully naive.

:D

Re: Preaching
 

I think it's quite sweet watching people preaching. Of course, i think it's sweet from a great distance becasue I wouldn't go anywhere near them with a barge pole. But, I do think they have the right to do it if they want.

Personally, the ones that annoy me are the door to door type. If people are on a pedestrian area in a town they're easily avoided but knocking on my door they aren't so easy to avoid.

Re: Preaching
 

Of course I'm not. Must be the fever getting to you. ;)

Re: Preaching
 

No matter what they are shouting over their loudspeakers,
I object to uneccessary noise:(

Re: Preaching
 

Then as was pointed out, you are free to walk away.

Unless of course they'd given you a tambourie to shake.

Then you must first wait for the song to finish, hand it back, then be about your business.

Re: Preaching
 

They heard the Cashman was coming:dflam::D:p

Re: Preaching
 

As fare as I'm concerned they can do what they want, so long as they don't come knocking on my door, now I do object to that. A few years ago I was in bed under the weather when a knock came on the door, I dragged myself out of bed walked to the door and asked who it was, a voice said I need to have a word with you, must be important I though, so I put my dressing gown on and opened the door, it was a bloody Jehovah Witness, Never seen anybody move as quick in my life and I ain't seen him since. I don't mind any religion but please don't try to push it down my throat on my own doorstep

Re: Preaching
 

it should be banned

im not sure what i hate more , religious pillocks or people taking surveys with clipboards.

if its the tambareen brigade andrew do us a favour and stick it over their born again heads the next time your passing

thanx :D

edit:

big issue lady gets on my wick as well - yeah the big issue is you come to this country and put the english born guy out of work selling teh big issue luv , seems no job is safe from imigrants pmsl

Re: Preaching
 

Hmmm, is Swine Flu the latest Middle class must have?

From what I can work out, at the moment doing the rounds are bouts of the Common Cold, 'Ordinary' Flu and this god-damn swine Flu!

Those with upper class pretensions all seem to have what they consider the trendy one, did they pay extra? Or are they just obliged to class the first cough, to some life threatening Pandemic?

My apologies to anyone unfortunate enough to actually be suffering 'Swine Flu', but to the rest, please don't worry the ordinary Flu can be just as lethal so don't worry your turn will come.
;)

Re: Preaching
 

I've no idea.

If I see a middle class person with it, whatever that might be (bank manager?), I'll ask them.

The doctor said it was 'suspected swine flu'. I haven't self diagnosed it myself.

Sky high temperature, terrible diarrhea, shivering, hacking cough, sore throat, headaches, and more aches and pains than you can shake a stick at.

Whatever it is/was, I'll be glad to get back to the usual acute muscular pain caused by Parkinson's.

Thanks for your concern though Florence, and watch your wick as you leave the ward, it looks like it's on it's way out.

;)

Re: Preaching
 

What a sad, bitter, little man you are.

Just as soon as I'm allowed past my front door again, remembering to hop over the food left for me by kind people, I'll look for a religious nutter and ask for them to pray for you, in the hope you find some peace in your life.

;)

Re: Preaching
 

Have you got a red cross on yer front door Garinda ? :D

Re: Preaching
 

You ought to go down Manc. Free Palestine, Repent Ye Sinners, Big Issue Please, Llama Liberation Front, Hare Krishna, Hands Off Cuba...and I agree with all of 'em. Or rather, I agree with their right to propagate what they believe in...so, yes, there IS a need for this on Broadway...and long may it continue! :cool:

Re: Preaching
 

I quite agree; however, the last lot who came knocking on my door were Tory party canvassers, whom I vented my spleen on in no uncertain terms (as I would have done Lab or Lib/Dem canvassers). So could you explain to me why you find it so objectional for Godbothers to come a-knocking on your door, yet, presumably, you're quite happy for activists from your own party to do it?

...could you also send "The Weather" (I presume that's not her real name) round to my house please. ;)

Re: Preaching
 

Freedom of speech, entitled to their own belief, it's pretty easy to just say "no thanks":rolleyes:

Re: Preaching
 

Funny thing is Wynonie I don't get political canvassers at my door, the Tories don't need to call, Labour neve seem to bother:rolleyes::D I've seen Mr Jones twice during the by-election campaign in Immanuel ward and he never even popped round to say hello:D

Re: Preaching
 

Most uncivillised, I must say! I'm sure you'd have had a brew ready and waiting for him! :D

Re: Preaching
 

Of course Wynonie, scones with fresh cream too:D

Re: Preaching
 

The botherers with the folded blue headscarf and spectacles(the women) are allowed to stand in our town centre and shout at the top of their voices " hell and damnation to all ye sinners, blah, blah ,blah" the chap is so involved he dribbles down his chin and frightens most folk especially kids. If i was too stand outside Barclays and shout my anti religion head off the rotund fake police girls would come and try and give me an on the spot fine of £30, luckily they are not good at running up hill which is the best escape as they radio the fake traffic warden.

Re: Preaching
 

sounds like the usual Sunday morning symptoms for me, and most of my neighbours, when lived up Huncoat :D

Re: Preaching
 

(no edit) but hope you get over the worse soon Garinda.

Re: Preaching
 

like hell he would, never has one fer me.:D

Re: Preaching
 

I keep forgetting cashy seeing I only drink water (and wine and Stella) just smack me round the head next time:D

Re: Preaching
 

Well, on the day when I finally drop in to see you, I'll be expecting a brew...and biscuits! ;)

Re: Preaching
 

No problem Wynonie, if you bring cashy I'll even make him one too:D

Re: Preaching
 

I wonder how they would re-act if you turned up and said, "Message from God Chaps, pack it in for today you're volumes giving me a headache"?
