Readers of this blog will have noticed a link to a website called ‘Tescopoly’ in the links section for sometime now. The website aims to unite those against Tesco and the numerous appalling practices which they implement.
In the last month I’ve been reading Andrew Simms book ‘Tescopoly’ which looks in depth into the practices of Tescos and the problem with the store on many levels. Having read this book I’ve been shocked at the way which Tescos treat everyone from suppliers (who they dictate prices too) and people who work …

I’ve always been amused by people who buy old cars then try and make it cool with no end of new lights, massive exhausts and the like however this car spotted in Sainsbury’s car park really takes the biscuit…the owner has literally plonked a spoiler on and that’s it!

Yesterday evening was the first city centre churches youth service going by the name of ‘Deeper’. The idea of the service was for it to be a way of networking youth work between the city centre churches in Peterborough of which Park Road is one.
We had 33 young people turn out which beat my expectation of 30 by 3…we also had quite a few adults lurking around too. It was great to see some joint youth work for those churches in the city centre who only have 2 or 3 …

 
Healer
Today the CD of Hillsongs latest release (although a few months old now) arrived in the post. I only ordered it yesterday so was impressed. The thing this this CD is that I’d been debating for a while whether to get it because of it having the song ‘Healer’ on by Mike Guglielmucci.
For those that don’t know this song was (from what I gather) quite the anthem of Soul Survivor…written by a man diagnosed with terminal cancer…a song given to him by God 2 years ago. However in early september …

I’ve just got home from town and written a blog post (which will appear next thursday for reasons which will be revealed next thursday!) however so not to keep you waiting for a new post here are some thoughts on town…
Firstly town is insanely busy and there seems to be a bizarre mix of Christmas and normality going on…back on the 7th November Queensgate (the shopping centre) launched their decorations and Santa’s Grotto (I can’t help but feel he should still be sleeping until December!) yet with all these decorations …

I’ve spent the last few weeks trying to avoid blogging on the various activities of ex-blink 182 members including the plain crash that killed 4 and only left Travis Barker and DJ AM surviving, however the lastest post on Mark Hoppus’ blog himynameismark.COM is too much to resist!
in the midst of everything else that has happened lately, tom, travis, and i have all spoken together. first through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours. they’ve all been …

Blogging is a strange lifestyle…I say lifestyles because that’s what it is…clicking ‘publish’ after writing a few words isn’t where the blogging line is drawn…a week may pass when nothing appears on a blog yet the blogger’s mind is still at work pondering the next post.
So in the last week I haven’t been silent, I have in fact been pondering my next post. I’ve been thinking about a few things this week which will make their way into blog posts soon but for now the thought of blogging seems to …

We have an electronic drum kit at church…everytime I play it a little part of the drummer inside me dies…

Saturday November 29h 2008 is Buy Nothing Day, It’s a day where you challenge yourself to switch off from shopping and tune into life.
The rules are simple, for 24 hours you will detox from consumerism and live without shopping. Anyone can take part provided they spend a day without spending!
Buy Nothing Day is the biggest 24-hour moratorium against consumerism. People around the world will make a pact to take a break from shopping as a personal experiment or public statement and the best thing is - …

Might have posted this before but I like it!

I haven’t had a busy week just haven’t thought of anything to blog…it’s nice to so Obama won the elections for president…it’s also been nice to have some time to attempt to study for uni this week…it’s also been nice to pick up Pete Greig’s ‘God On Mute’ in the last couple of days for prep for mondays doodles with the same title.
Tonight was a fireworks/camp fire night…one of my favourite evenings on the youth group calendar…lots of fireworks and no causulties and apparantly young people don’t like soup…
I have …
