"A bit like 'Achel' but not exactly"?
Ummmm... George?

(chastened)I messed up. Mea culpa... But it's fixed now. Thanks for pointing out my shortcomings!!Wood has started a thread on this subject on Open Forum if anyone's keen.(rushes off to do something else)

Achel is ... er, not alice... take a guess, who do you know that has a name a bit like Achel but not exactly?
Posted by Achel @ 05/16/2002 12:30 PM CST
NO, not guilty this time! Achel means (I think) Rachel, don't blame me!

Oh, by the way, Richard. You do know you messed up the link?
That's what you get for rushing.

Achel. Uhhhh... right. Alice, is that you? :)
Craig: The whole point of the soundbite is that religion and politics don't mix as such... rather that our faith should be the SOURCE of our politics. A different thing.

well, i was there and it went mostly straight over my head. knew i should've moussed and greased my hair some more yesterday. all i can add is at the time i thought 'either that's very good and wood just thought of it, or he's nicked it from somewhere'. that's my 2 cents, always worth finding money on the floor if you can, sometimes it means the difference between a burger and a burger with fries if you know what i mean.

I think I hear a 'can of woms' being opened!I've no time now, but I'll comment later ;o)

I'm not at all sure that religion and politics mix all that well. We should bring a "Christian mind" to bear on the problems of the world, but that should be the extant of it.
Endorsements etc...yuck!

That's not sad - that's FAST!Truth is, I wanted it on my site before you got it on yours. Its called "stealing"!

I still can't believe that you blogged that less than an hour after I said it.
You're a sad man.
Almost as sad as me, in fact. :)
