News, Local history and Thanet issues from Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate see www.michaelsbookshop.com I publish over 200 books about the history of this area click here to look at them.
Some of you may remember my handbags at dawn spat with Simon last week, see http://thanetonline.blogspot.com/2011/03/thanet-life-simon-moores-moves.html Simon has now allowed my comment and it has appeared on his blog.
As far as I am concerned this means that I will return to commenting on his blog, so many thanks to Simon.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
What a very ornate organ.

ReplyDeleteMind, as a committed atheist, I think the church would be better converted into low-cost housing.
ReplyDelete1023. As usual, the Richard Dawkins approach. That building was built by committed people who do not deserve to be so denigrated. In fact the term "committed atheist" is a non sequitor since atheism does not require commitment, merely a negative approach to anyone else's belief values. How can you commit to believing nothing? And no, I'm at best a hopeful agnostic.
ReplyDeleteIf you follow your warped logic then all our public buildings - libraries, pubs, social clubs etc would be turned into low cost housing.
Oh dear Andrew, such visceral remarks. My logic isn't warped at all, but hey, there are more important things than arguing with one who has to be rude.
