When the floor opened for the Q&A session, Neil explained what a microphone was, and then invited people to line up to ask questions. He felt it important to explain that, "A question is a short, interrogative statement, ending with a question mark." The audience burst into laughter and applause. Then he amended, "And can be answered."
How many wings does an Angel have?
This was a question on QI a few years back, and the answer isn't necessarily two.
"Archangels have two wings , Cherubim, Have 4 wings, Seraphim have 6 wings"
But that depends on your theology.
Michael the archangel is likely the head of all the holy angels, and his name means "who is like unto God"
So, here is Michael, one pair of wings folded at his sides, and the second (and maybe third) partially unfolded over his head.
It is the weekend, and thoughts turn to what to do with our spare time.
It is warmer, slightly, but the wind is stronger, so feels colder. So, as I said, aimless wandering round shops and such in Whitstable might not be a good idea.
And the back up plan of going to Walmer Castle was also out as it is closed due to major repairs to its roof about to begin.
We are not short of castles round here, so there is another in Deal, so we'll go there, and on the way we can stop at Ringwould for the church.
So, after coffee and shopping at Tesco, and then breakfast, load the car with camera and lenses and make the short drive to Ringwould.
Two wardens inside, made us welcome as they cleaned and hoovered the church.
I was only here really for close ups of the windows, so got snapping once I had answered all their questions.
The plan, as I said, had been to go to Deal Castle, which is what we did.
Deal Castle is fabulous, and a place we have only visited once, but upon arriving we found the car park, while not quite full, but due to bad parking, no room for our car.
We decided, instead, to go home via Dover so Jools could get some wool for her blanket, and once home feat of bacon butties.
Which is what we did.
I waited outside the wool shop while she got two balls of yarn, then back home up Jubilee Way to home, and an early lunch or brunch.
Wind is building, gradually, through Saturday and Sunday to another named storm, our 8th of the winter, on Sunday night, with a high risk of damage to property possible.
So, we went inside, locked the door and didn't go out again.
Over the afternoon, I followed Norwich as usual, this time playing WBA, and despite not having much of the ball, we created lots of chances and ran out 2-0 winners, so there is hope. And in sport it is hope that hurts
We shall see.
Pizza for supper, and the evening game while we listen to funk and soul. While outside the wind howled, and will get only worse.

Standing on high ground in a manicured churchyard, St Nicholas is full of interest. Its 17th century tower is a pleasing mixture of flint and stone and is capped with a jaunty cupola - quite an East Kent feature (see also Sandwich St Peter and Woodnesborough). The interior is an odd shape as the tower fills the west end of the nave and the 14th century north aisle runs along its north face - not odd when ones thinks of the chronology but definitely odd to the casual visitor. The nave is dominated by the rather crude three bay arcade to the north aisle dating from the 14th century, whilst the chancel is crammed with tablets to 18th and 19th century residents, particularly the Monins family who are still Patrons of the living. On, of 1806, is signed `Bacon Junior`. Two of the north chancel windows retain their original stonework. Opposite is a simple double sedilia whose arches are dissimilar - that to the east having a nicely shouldered arch whilst its companion is severely plain. There is some fine stained glass (although the best representation of St Nicholas with the boys in the tub is under the tower and difficult to see). A more modern representation of the Patron Saint is in the north aisle accompanied by St Francis, whilst nearby are the rarely portrayed Lois, Eunice and Dorcas. The stonework of this window is Victorian and tries to make a statement although, in reality it cuts out the central light. All in all a most pleasant and welcoming church.

RINGWOLD,
OR as it is now usually called, Ring jole, lies the next parish to Walmer, southward; being written in antient records, Ridlingweald. It has been, as well as the ville or hamlet of Kingsdown, within the bounds of it, long since esteemed part of the cinque ports, and a member of the port of Dover; to which it was again united and confirmed by king Henry VI. and continues so at this time.
THIS PARISH is situated on high ground, adjoining the northern hills of this part of East Kent, in a country of uninclosed common fields of corn; the soil is mostly chalky, but much of it is fertile land. The high road from Deal to Dover goes through the village, in which the church and parsonage-house is situated. The parish is both healthy and pleasant, with beautiful prospects over the Downs and neighbouring country.—About half a mile eastward from the village of Ringwold, within the bounds of this parish, is the ville and hamlet of Kingsdown, which adjoins to the sea-shore, and appears to have been, in early times, a place of some account, by its being mentioned by name with Ringwold, in the charters of the cinque ports. It is now a small fishing village, where on the side next to Walmer, the poor fishermen by a capstan wind up on shore their boats, commonly called Kingsdown boats. In the valley between the two downs or hill sides near this, there are the remains of an antient camp. Darell says, this place was formerly called Roman Codde, and vulgarly Romny Coddy, which he interprets Romanorum fortitudo, the fortitude of the Romans. There is no fair.
THE MANOR OF RINGWOLD, in the time of the Conqueror, was in the possession of Fulbert de Dover, as part of his barony of Chilham, in whose descendants, (fn. 1) and in the Strabolgies, earls of Athol, this manor continued in like manner as Chilham, till it was forfeited by one of them to the crown, where it staid till king Edward II. in his 5th year, granted it to Bartholomew de Badlesmere, who in the 9th year of it ob. tained the grant for a market weekly, on a Tuesday, at his manor of Ridelingwold, and a fair there, on the eve, day, and morrow after the festival of St. Nicholas, and free-warren likewise within all his demesne lands within it. His son Giles de Badlesmere died s. p. in the 12th year of king Edward III. leaving his four sisters his coheirs, and Elizabeth his wife, daughter of William Montacute, earl of Salisbury, surviving, who became entitled to it for her life; she afterwards married Hugh de Despencer, who in her right became possessed of it; she survived him likewise, and died anno 33 king Edward III. possessed of this manor, held of the king in capite, by the service of finding a man armed to the guard of the sea-coast, whenever the same should be necessary, for all service.
Upon her death, this manor, on the further partition of the inheritance of the sisters of Giles de Badlesmere, was allotted to Maud the eldest, wife of John de Vere, earl of Oxford, who in her right became possessed of it, and died the next year, holding this manor in capiteas of the castle of Dover. His grandson Robert, earl of Oxford, was by king Richard II. created Marquis, and Duke of Ireland; but he was afterwards banished the realm, and all his possessions, excepting his entailed lands, confiscated, which latter only were to remain to his right heirs. (fn. 2) On the confiscation of the duke of Ireland's unentailed estates, this manor afterwards came by grant to Sir Robert Belknap, chief justice of the common pleas, who was likewise attainted and banished into Ireland in the 11th year of that reign.
In the 2d year of king Henry V. on the petition of Sir Hamon Belknap, his son, the parliament enabled him in blood and land to his father, notwithstanding the judgment made against him, and he was reinstated in this manor. His three sons, John, William, and Henry, each successively inherited this manor; the latter left one son Edward, and four daughters; the former resided at Weston, in Warwickshire, and in the beginning of king Henry the VIIIth's reign was knighted. He died in the 12th year of it, anno 1520, s. p. on which his four sisters became his coheirs, and on the partition of their inheritance, Anne, the youngest, entitled her husband, Sir Robert Wotton, to the possession of this manor, (fn. 3) whose descendant Edward, lord Wotton, conveyed it not long after that to Sir Thomas Edolph, of St. Radigund's, who, in the 13th year of that reign, had a confirmation of the grant of freewarren within his demesne lands of this manor. His grandson Thomas Edolph, esq. alienated this manor to Francis Nicholson, esq. and he, in 1702, passed it away to Edward Holnis, gent. of Bramling-court, who by his first wife had three daughters; Mary, married to John Philips, a dissenting minister; Thomasine, first to Enoch Kingsford, and secondly to John Hugessen; and Bridget, to Zachary Kingsford, and they, by his will, became entitled to this manor in equal shares. At length William Kingsford, esq. of Tunford, the grandson of Zachary above-mentioned, becoming possessed of the whole of this manor, sold it in 1762, together with all his lands whatsoever in this parish, to Mr. Tho. Peck, surgeon, of Deal, who died in 1790, leaving two daughters his coheirs, who marrying two brothers, James Methurst Poynter, and Ambrose Lyon Poynter, esqrs. they are now become, in right of their wives, the present possessors of this manor. A court baron is held for it.
RINGWOLD is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Sandwich.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Nicholas, is a handsome building, having a tower steeple at the west end, in which hang five bells. In the chancel is a mural monument for Richard Dauling, clerk, patron and rector. He died in 1679; arms, On a fess, three acorns. Another for Richard Monins Eaton, clerk, patron and rector, eldest son of Richard Monins, clerk, by Mary his wife, sister of John Daulinge, esq. late patron, obt. 1770; arms, Gules, three crescents, or. In the north isle, an antient grave-stone, coffin-shaped, on which is a cross patonce, on a griece of three steps. Two gravestones for the Edolphs and Gookens; arms on the former, A lozenge, ermine, on a bend, three cinquefoils, impaling the same arms. On the latter; arms, A chevron. ermine, between three cocks, impaling ermine, on a bend, three cinquefoils. In the nave several memorials for the Jekens's, of Oxney. Brass plates for Elizabeth, wife of Robert Gaunt, obt. 1580; for Willia Avere, alys and anne his Wysis; he died anno 1405; and for John Upton, obt. 1530. The steeple is built of flints, with the corners and arches over the windows of red brick, and a date, in figures of iron, 1628. In the churchyard is a remarkable fine yew tree, which measures upwards of twenty feet round.
¶The church of Ringwold was antiently appendant to the manor, and as such the advowson of it passed through the same several changes of ownership, down to Edward, lord Wotton, who alienated it to Sir William Sidley, of Aylesford, afterwards created a baronet, in whose descendants it continued till it was at length sold in Charles II.'s reign to the family of Dauling; one of whom, Richard Dauling, gent. of London, presented to it in 1679; at length by Mary, daughter of John Dauling, clerk, it passed in marriage to Richard Monins, clerk, prebendary of Bristol, master of the king's school in Canterbury, and rector of Ringwold, who died possessed of it in 1750, on which it came to his eldest surviving son of the same name, who afterwards took the name of Eaton, and was rector of this parish. He died unmarried in 1770, and his younger brother John Monins, esq. now of Canterbury, succeeded to this advowson, of which he is at this time proprietor.
The rectory of Ringwold is valued in the king's books at 13l 12s. 6d. and the yearly tenths at 1l. 7s. 3d. In 1578 here were sixty communicants, In 1640, one hundred and seventy communicants, and it was valued at seventy-six pounds. It is now of the reputed clear value of 250l. There are nine acres of glebe land belonging to it.

Peter Robinson fielding questions from the BBC and others during the opening of a new Constituency Office
Abbazia di San Colombano (Bobbio, PC).
Il mosaico della cripta fu scoperto casualmente durante dei lavori generici sotto la chiesa nel 1910. E' suddiviso in quattro registri sovrapposti e distanziati da fasce decorate con disegni geometrici e misura 10 metri quadrati. I temi raffigurati sono tratti dal secondo libro dei Maccabei. Oggi chi visita la chiesa di San Colombano non può non vedere subito il mosaico pavimentale, che occupa una vasta porzione (circa 100 metri quadrati) nascosto in un vano dietro una cancellata di ferro battuto, al di sotto del presbiterio. Per ammirarlo, bisogna scendere le scale laterali, ma un tempo esso era ben visibile ai fedeli, al centro della navata centrale, tra la zona dei fedeli stessi e quella riservata ai monaci. Questa meravigliosa opera viene datata al XI secolo e si trovava alla quota della chiesa primitiva, ma in seguito venne coperta probabilmente con la ricostruzione in epoca cinquecentesca e dimenticata sotto terra. Solo all'inizio del 1900 si intrapresero lavori di restauro della cripta, finanziati dal primate d'Irlanda Michael Logue, per renderla comunicante con la navata centrale tramite una scala centrale. Il lavoro non potè essere portato avanti perchè gli operai si imbatterono in una superficie dura dalla quale emergevano tasselli colorati. - Per liberarlo occorsero però molti anni, per questioni burocratiche ma anche per l'adeguata verifica della struttura sovrastante, che andava debitamente sostenuta ora che si era creato un vuoto al di sotto.

La questione morale esiste da tempo, ma ormai essa è diventata la questione politica prima ed essenziale perché dalla sua soluzione dipende la ripresa di fiducia nelle istituzioni, la effettiva governabilità del paese e la tenuta del regime democratico.

“You've produced, as I said the last time that I was here, one of the most extensive climate change documents ever written by young people, and I'm so proud of the leadership shown by Alberta's students on this issue,” says Notley. The premier was referring to a previous white the students wrote recommending government action on climate change for the Paris climate talks. On this day Notley looks questions from students about their latest white paper - recommendations from students all over Alberta about how schools can take action on climate change.

Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus (The Stargate Mix)
Depeche Mode are an English electronic band that formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex. The group consists of founders Dave Gahan (lead vocals, occasional songwriter since 2005), Martin Gore (guitar, keyboards, vocals, main songwriter since 1982), and Andy Fletcher (keyboards, bass guitar). Depeche Mode released their debut album Speak & Spell in 1981, bringing the band onto the British new wave scene. Original band member Vince Clarke (keyboards, guitar, main songwriter from 1980 to 1981), left the band after the release of the album, leaving the band as a trio to record A Broken Frame, released the following year. Gore took over the lead songwriting duties and, later in 1982, Alan Wilder (keyboards, drums, bass guitar, occasional songwriter) officially joined the band to fill Clarke's spot, establishing a line up that would continue for the next 13 years. Depeche Mode have been a trio again since 1995, when Wilder left.
