Who Do You Stand With?

Does Best Promos stand WITH Róisín Murphy or do we stand AGAINST her? That question has been burning at BPHQ over the last week whilst I've been at Butlin's.

Our Head of People Services and Equalities, Scott MacDonald-Berger, has loved Róisín Murphy for years, and used to buy all of her stuff and would gush very loudly and proudly about how fabulous she is online, but now he absolutely flippin' hhhhhhates her. Our Head of Communications, Nathan "Pottsy" Potter, thinks we should cut her some slack and have a sensible discussion about it without all of the predictable cyber-aggro and name-calling.

It is now down to me, as editor and Managing Director of Best Promos, to adjudicate and pass judgement on this massive matter.

Here we go.

Romans 12:9-21

A reading from the letter of Kev at Best Promos to the Romans.

Let love be genuine. Hate what is evil; hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honour. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.

Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are.

Do not repay evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of it all. If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

On the contrary:

“If your enemy is hungry, feed her/him/them;
if he/she/they is thirsty, give her/him/them something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on her/his/they're head.”

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Be patient with those you disagree with.

Bloody hell, readers, bear with me whilst I find the tweezers. I've got loads of massive splinters in my arse after sitting on that fence! LOL

So, whilst I'm pulling wood out of my bum (oo-er, missus!), have a listen to this song by Screaming Lord Sutch and thank all the Gods and science that you're alive to rejoice in this thing called life.

Before you know it, you'll be dead.

I'll be back soon with a proper blog and some more Radio Ruislip. I think Vince McMahon might be hosting it, so that'll be good, won't it?

Until then, make good choices.
