		<description><![CDATA[When, as Robin Day once put it, one is in sight of the Departure Lounge, there is plenty of room for reflection.  It is time to think more closely of other people's lives ; particularly the lives of those who made a positive choice about how to live.  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jamiemacnab.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11828848&amp;post=846&amp;subd=jamiemacnab&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It comes as a surprise to realize how little we really know for, when we contemplate simple beliefs, there are not many that are guaranteed to be true beyond doubt.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jamiemacnab.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11828848&amp;post=839&amp;subd=jamiemacnab&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have never been a great fan of television, but I have come to appreciate the availability of tv recordings ; in fact, I have a growing pile of dvd records which do much to brighten the winter days.  But I do wonder sometimes at the antics of the broadcasters.  The BBC, especially, seems to be very intent on some kind of political mission designed to change the ways in which we see ourselves.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jamiemacnab.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11828848&amp;post=837&amp;subd=jamiemacnab&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Dis-graced he may be, yet is not de-throned, And keeps the rags of lordship he once owned.
