Bible Translation
http://www.andrewhost.com/bible.html
A Message You Need To Hear. Friends and Other Links. I have a passion for Bible translations which are modern and colloquial without compromising the original meaning. Surely an accurate translation can only come out one way? An "accurate" word for word translation doesn't take into account idiom and cultural differences. For example,. Cool it, man. Let's hit the road.". Reduce the temperature of it male human. Let's strike the road with something.". Whereas a correct translation would be:. Not only is t...

My Acer Laptop was starting to regularly give me the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) which is what Windows computers display after they've irrevocably crashed, in order to show what the problems was that caused the crash. Every time it crashed, the problem was caused by a file called iastore.sys. There was an enormous amount of advice. Some said it was a problem with the Master Boot Record. But the Blue Scr...

http://www.andrewhost.com/speeches.html
A Message You Need To Hear. Friends and Other Links. Speeches by Andrew Host. I joined Hornsby District Toastmasters Club in 2008, and have enjoyed my time there.

Yes, What?
http://www.andrewhost.com/yw.html

The Forster time lapse was from September 2012.

I lived this way for the nineteen years that I was married to Julie before she tragically died of a brain haemorrhage. And I intend to live this way when I remarry. I need someone who is affectionate and considerate, who eagerly desires intimacy, but agrees with me that sexual intimacy is reserved for life-long relationships. You would not r...
