Many thanks to Christian Paulton, Bob Cooper and John Simpson for the great entertainment. It was good fun. I certainly enjoyed telling stories and making... Continue Reading →
Bob George – 90 Years Young!

Non Violence is the Way of Jesus
The London Guardian, 1991 ran a story about violence in Northern Ireland. In it ran this quote of a Belfast Resident “It's not the bullet with my name on it that worries me.
