    Can anyone help me out? I'm doing my Bachelors Degree dissertation and I need to find some secondary sources that discuss the strengths and weaknesses of using a financial daybook (or similar, an accounts book or other financial record would work equally well) as a primary source. Any clues...

Then in adulthood they reject the authority of the Pope but in every other way maintain the practice of Catholicism, would they still be...

    La Machine, Liverpool

    Any else get to see this over this last week-end? What did you think? We saw it on Saturday afternoon/evening, first sighting it at the junction of Paradise Street, Whitechapel, Church Street and Chapel Street. It was interesting to see it stationary but worth the hour and a half wait to see...

    Holocaust Education in the UK

    I received a 'round robin' email today alleging that the UK was banning teaching of the Holocaust from the National Curriculum. I was appalled at this but had to check it out to make sure of the facts. I'm glad I did as I found the following statement from the Holocaust Educational Trust which...

    Ashes to Ashes

    Any 'Life on Mars' fans see 'Ashes to Ashes' last night? What did you think? I was sceptical that they could make a series to match up to LOM but after the first episode I am optimistic that they may just do it! Gene Hunt was as sublime as ever.

    Out of the mouths of babes....

    How do you decide who to marry? You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. -- Alan, age 10 No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God...

    Happy St George's Day to my fellow English! In the nearest town to me they're are putting on a Mummer's play of St George and the Dragon. Anyone else know of any particular St George's Day celebrations going on? Oh, and it's Shakespeare's birthday too!

    Identical twins? MMFC

    Anyone else married to an identical twin? My DH and his brother really are identical and it caused a few problems when we were first dating. Particularly on the phone, it was really hard to tell one from the other. More than once I thought I was talking to DH and it wasn't! Looks-wise I got used...

    Questions regarding the purpose of prayer.

    I need some help! Someone close to me, a Christian of many years standing, has started to question the purpose of prayer. I've given answers according to how I see it but it doesn't seem to be making any difference. He has no problem with thanking God and praising him in prayer nor with...
