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.

Hamster Potter and the Blog of Dumb
A couple of years ago I was sitting in Berlin’s Tegel Airport waiting for a flight back to the UK. I was coming back from the Baptist World Youth Conference in Leipzig, Germany, and was with my son, Thomas, who had been at the Conference with me. We had a long time to wait. We…

they’re behind you…
I’m back. ‘Normal’ service is being resumed. Sally and I had a lovely week without the children. Not that it was lovely being without Thomas and Hannah, but we were able to do what we wanted without shouts of ‘Boring!’ or ‘I don’t want to’ or ‘Can we go home now?’ We visited different places…

Just a quick note to let you know that I am having another week off from blogging. Normal service will be resumed on Monday 23rd August (I hope)

splash!
This morning I want to share another Alton Towers reflection with you. Sorry to anyone who hates theme parks and is bored already. If you have read my previous post on the subject you will know that Sally (my wonderful wife) does not like white knuckle rides. In fact she does not like rides that…

wheeeeeeee
While on holiday last week we went as a family to Alton Towers. Sally enjoyed a more sedate time than the rest of us, but she was happy ‘pootling’ around, holding bags and not being thrown around, turned upside down and facing near death experiences. Thomas, Hannah and I enjoyed the range of rollercoasters. We started…

why?
I was on a train a while ago with a number of different passengers. I suspect that we were all riveted by two of our travelling companions. There was a small child and his mum. The child was looking out of the window and asking his mum questions about what he saw: “Why is that…

many are called but few want to be chosen
I am fascinated by what is happening to the England football team. They seriously underperformed at the recent World Cup and people have said it is because they were too tired. Well lots of the other teams at the World Cup have players who play in the English Premier League and their get up and…

I’m back dook
Hello, and sorry to anyone who has been anxiously waiting for me to resume my bloggerel. The bloggage has been removed. Basically I was away from home for a week’s holiday in the Peak District. We were staying in Swanwick (not at the Hayes Conference Centre) and travelled around a lot. One of the things I…

holiday joke
This joke is for everyone who is going on holiday by plane this year. (Warning, not for those with weak stomachs). A little guy gets on a plane and sits next to the window. A few minutes later, a big, heavy, strong mean-looking, hulking guy plops down in the seat next to him and immediately…
