Not ham!! by rees http://jillrees.com/2008/09/05/something-to-eat-in-parma-not-ham/#comment-61 rees Sat, 06 Sep 2008 00:12:03 +0000 http://jillrees.com/?p=593#comment-61 The lavore bit explains the little spanish I used know where the B & V <em>sound</em> almost alike. Lavore then becomes Labore, or labour. All in all though, you seem to be having more trouble/fun than in Cuneo where, if I recall, everyone was really polite and helpful in the post-office <strong>and </strong>there were <strong>no </strong>fights! Now you're going into the cooler area at least it'll stop the heat-stroke! More like Britain where we've just had another big dose of October/November type wind and rain (but slightly warmer). "Just like 'Bladerunner'" as I said to some people on my course today. The lavore bit explains the little spanish I used know where the B & V sound almost alike.

I very much appreciate your response and your taking this issue seriously. It has turned out to be a very serious bone of contention in the Anglican community, which is something that links people in Nigeria with many others worldwide especially the UK if I may say so. You have a good point about my argument with the exampel of the Samaritan woman. I mean that Jesus loved and accepted everybody. Samaritans and women were despised by the people of his day just as gays are in our day, but he showed that he accepted her nonetheless. The hard line against gay people is said to come from parts of the new Testament which have been added many centuries later by British Archbishops. The UK and US churches are trying to understand and live by the heart of Jesus and not so much the later Church doctrine. Hope this helps. Please don't humour me! I value your opinion. Jill Dear Will

It seems it is for responses like this that you wrote the article. well i am fully ready to humour you.
