Insofar as you helped ….
An amazing few minutes of video – far outweighing the team performance on the World Cup Stage (in my opinion) but due, nonetheless to the passion that it so universally unfurls. There are great people in this world.

Helpful Phonecall!!
Yesterday I heard Tommy Marren speaking on his radio show about phonecalls from people offering to fix computer problems. He was warning people not to respond to these calls or engage with the caller. I sent him a recording of one such call. It’s over two years old and runs for about five minutes. I decided to see how long the caller would stay with a troublesome and confused “client”.
Tommy spoke with me about this on this morning’s show so thought I might repeat the call here …
Enjoy! Be aware!! Hang up ……

VIRAL? Not quite ……
I received a number of texts, calls and (yes) sarcastic comments during the week!! These were in response to Fr Ray Kelly’s fine singing voice at an Oldcastle Wedding. Powerful stuff! As I write nearly fifteen million views of the original YouTube Video have been clocked up – not to mention other views from other sources.
You see I’ve often sang at weddings but sadly nobody posted! You just wonder what might have happened??? So, if you’ve a good clip of me singing at your wedding, give it a go!!
That’s what led to the comments. Unlike Fr Ray, my voice is raw and my range limited. Like him however, I enjoy the “song” in all of us and have been glad to use some through the years – often as part of the few words I try to share. I think there’s something very powerful in a song and that it has the potential to bring people back to a moment when they hear it, maybe whilst driving in the car, working in the house or doing the bit of shopping. I like to think the song, admittedly better and more professionally sung, might take them back to that Sacred Moment when we stood near each other, in the shadow – the glow – of The Altar.

As for me, I’ll sing the few notes I have – once told that I have “all the right notes but not in the right order”!!
A little example!! Fr Ray has nothing to fear:)
Just to lift things a bit ….
In case you’d think I’ve gone “in on myself”!! Watched Peter Kay the other night – documentary about his most recent “Tour” – the tour that didn’t go on tour, tour!! Realised again, as if reminding were necessary, that it’s good to laugh!
It’s time for a few clips …. Hope you enjoy! Even if you don’t, I did so that can’t be bad 🙂

The “VID” not The Bud!!
In the commercial, a puppy escapes from an animal shelter and strikes up a friendship with a neighbouring Clydesdale. Though the horse’s owner keeps returning the dog to his shelter, the feisty puppy won’t be denied—he keeps venturing to the Clydesdale ranch. The ad reaches its climax when a team of Clydesdales block a car on the road to keep the driver from taking the puppy away again. “Let Her Go” by Passenger serves as the poignant music for the ad.
