Quotation of the week

Nicked from a t shirt:

Engineering forsight: An escalator can never break. It can
only become stairs.

Quotation of the day

Thank you to a lighthearted driver on South Eastern Trains, who brightened a frustratingly slow journey with this gem:

"We will be arriving at Waterloo East very soon. Please mind the gap
between the timetable and reality."

Quotation of the week

I was vaguely aware of someone called Tony Campolo before, but I've found out more about him lately, having been reading stuff about a movement called 'Red Letter Christianity'.

Leaving aside a discussion of this movement for the time being, I thought I'd share a quotation I found by Campolo, which makes me think he's my kind of Evangelical:

"I've always been skeptical of those television healers who are bald. I mean, if I had that gift, that would be the first thing I'd fix."

:-)

Quotation of the Week

Well, actually, this was from last week, but I never got around to posting it then.

I've already expressed my dismay at the new Olympic logo on my blog, and I still retain some hope that it will be ditched. But you can't beat Ken Livingstone's 'tell it like it is' approach to life. He tried to encourage people to get some perspective on the issue thus:

It is not the meaning of life or a secret code that will identify the bloodline of Mary Magdalene. It is a logo that will grow on you.

Fair Point!
