@davehartin @nataliemitton @DrLindaDykes @TimboSlade @LMunroDavies @EMManchester May I introduce you to Prior’s Rules for a healthy work-life balance? 1. Remember that “No” is a complete sentence. 2. Always know when your next lot of annual leave is. 3. No one ever said on his or her deathbed “I wish I’d spent more time at work”.

My dad died this morning two months shy of his 90th birthday. He liked cricket, crosswords, cats, walking on the Downs, good food and wine and always enjoyed traditional puds with lashings of custard. I’ll be having bread and butter pudding with custard later. RIP.

I'm not sure how men could be attracted to women dressed as men like female police officers and females in the military. These are men's jobs. If they weren't, then women could dress like women in these jobs but they can't. Stick to being feminine, women.

Men should dress like men and women should dress like women. Culture is clearly trying to blur these lines and Christians should exemplify the distinctions. Ladies, wear dresses often, keep your hair long, & stay healthy. Men, ditch the gay look, grow a beard, & get strong.
