nukelearfishing – the random and occasionally humorous musings of a Baptist Minister who is trying to be a free sample of Jesus and discover God in the ordinary.

(These musings don’t necessarily represent the views of the church I serve)

  • labelled

    So… what sort of person are you? There are all sorts of ways in which we categorise people. We paste labels onto each other like we are tagging photos on Facebook. “Happy” “Grumpy” “Cool” “Geek” “Clever” “Daft” “Not a morning person” (me at the moment!) …and so on. You know what I am talking about.…

  • competitive? me?

    One of my guilty pleasures is that I love listening to the ‘Head-to-Headlines’ on Chris Evans’ Breakfast Show on Radio 2. For those of you who have not heard this before, the newsreader Moira Stuart and the sportsreader (is that a word) Jonny Saunders each have three news stories from the day and seek to…

  • is it art?

    If Jesus needed a passport…

  • there is such a thing as bad publicity

    How can a massive organisation like FIFA have got itself into such a mess? I don’t know whether any of the allegations that are bouncing around about the shenanigans at FIFA are true. I don’t know whether anyone has been bribing anyone else. I don’t know whether the process of awarding of the World Cup…

  • under the influence

    As I sit in my study at home I can hear my son practicing on his keyboard in his bedroom (immediately above my study). I can also hear my daughter playing on a computer game in the dining room (immediately next to my study). And I am listening to some of my favourite rock music…

  • checking in

    I am currently on a train, on my way to London to a hospital appointment. It’s a routine check to monitor how well my cyber-brain is working. As part of the preparation for these appointments I have to keep an hourly headache diary for the preceding two weeks. This means rating the pain levels on a scale…

  • the first of many

    Hi In order to christen baptise the new blogsite I thought I would give you a little joke… When a guy’s printer type began to grow faint, he called a local repair shop where a friendly man informed him that the printer probably needed only to be cleaned. Because the store charged £50 for such cleanings,…

  • You found it!

    Well done, my friends, you have found the new location for my blog. Or, you have randomly found your way here and are wondering what you have found. This is going to take a while to get going and to look the way I want it, but the old stuff from the old site is…

  • time flies when it’s going wrong

    Howdy Blogspot is not working properly again. I have managed to negotiate my way around it, but that may not last. Sorry! I suspect that they do their maintenance in the middle of the night, but that’s the middle of the night on the other side of the Atlantic and the daytime here, when I…

  • if you need to eat humble pie, you may need to take your foot out of your mouth first…

    mmmphlugh hhmmugh grimngtpgh That is the sound of me eating some humble pie while talking with my mouth full (of foot). Yesterday I acted less than graciously towards somebody. It took my wife Sally to point this out to me. I did not notice. And therein lies the problem. I had become so caught up…
