Things I haven't heard before.

Gerry Anderson on his radio show (BBC - Northern Ireland - Homepage) often comes out with the statement "I haven't said that before on the radio", well I thought I'd start a run on things I haven't heard before. Please feel free to add your suggestions to this comment.
This morning in church the speaker came out with the statement "lets play chopsticks for God this week"
Now don't get me wrong I am not criticising the speaker-far from it- it followed on from a good illustration, but in my twisted mind as he said it the thought "I haven't heard that before in church" came to mind and hence this post.

Collective nouns.

I attended a seminar yesterday at Altnegelvin Hospital, nothing exciting, all to do with document management systems, but it enabled me to be home earlier than needed to pick up my daughter from Irish dance class. As it was a sunny afternoon I took the proverbial walk along the marina.
It was then I spotted something I had never seen before-about eight seals just lying basking in the afternoon sun, lying on rocks just under the water that made it appear that the seals where floating.




As usual the digital camera was in the car so excuse the phone pics,



Which brings me to the title of this blog-what is the collective noun for seals? Is it a school, a pack a herd or maybe just alot!

Saturday

Saturday the 20th was a busy day in the church. On the morning we held a Precept meeting for men with the International Ambassador for Precept, Bob Vereen Precept Ministries International:
While we weren't overflowing with men a good morning was had and a number are going to continue the study on Leadership.



Saturday night there was a surprise 40th birthday party for Phillip, a reconstruction of his 20th party even down to the games that we played. It was odd the Phillip's team managed to win every game!



Also about 20 years ago a photo was taken of the youth fellowship, and at the close those present had a reconstruction of that picture.
