Really? It's gorgeous here in south west Wales but unfortunately, I'm in work. Might have a walk after lunch, though

 

It's suppose to be cloudy but dry. I feel a board game coming out....

 

ALBANY — Not leaving it to divine chance, the state Catholic Conference has turned in recent years to some of Albany’s most well-connected and influential lobby firms to help block a bill that would make it easier for child sex abuse victims to seek justice.

The Catholic Conference, headed by Timothy Cardinal Dolan, has used Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker, Patricia Lynch & Associates, Hank Sheinkopf, and Mark Behan Communications to lobby against the Child Victims Act as well as for or against other measures.

All told, the conference spent more than $2.1 million on lobbying from 2007 through the end of 2015, state records show. That does not include the conference’s own internal lobbying team.

The Catholic Conference has argued that opening a one-year window to revive old cases could ultimately bankrupt the Church.

Races to a 4-1 lead, in the first set, then loses it 7-5 with a lot of unforced errors, interspersed with some brilliant winners.

 

Muzza 1 set all, now, despite trying to mess it up. Tie break needed, after being broken when serving for the set at 5-4.

So this proves that the aliens built the pyramids, right?

 

Er no! It just gives further evidence that Superman was a real person and is probably buried in Egypt.

 

Meteorite, not Kryptonite. Close though. Definitely aliens, probably the ones from 5th Element.

 

Couple of people killed by gunman at UCLA Berkeley yesterday, but it's so common people seem to have stopped noticing.

Sky say it's 11000 jobs. Really feel for them as they will get minimal pay out and some of them will have been there for years.

 

Depressing isn't it? Like the media and internet were all full of the gorilla in the US and hardly mentioned the 800+ migrants drowned in the Med ...... I despair sometimes .....
