He only wanted to check in with the just to find out how when I got in this there's one more question I need to ask and I want to know Steve want Did you play in your nativity you want a wall about. I knew you were going to ask me this question I was really trying to think about what Nativity to have got and used always because as a shepherd I know it all as a show yesterday yet always is that this time of year the time of year when you need say towels because having guests there are always missing out the best and it's always the best one and if you have visitors right and you know it isn't true they go it makes you got the nice clean towels out of them and then you go or count nursery. So apart from a so I mean see telomere had to be shattered many many years even they when are you going if the sheep did she didn't juggle a sheep or anything like that you know it was a little before Ok. Anyone Jesus is very. Good if I used to balance did Jesus on my chain instead look at the one I remember the one I remember the most though it was 'd being Joseph finally getting past the church church nativity and I spent the whole power proper method I had a hammer and a chisel I stood at the front of the church because most the time Joseph isn't there doesn't really do much in it as it is stuns around all the visitors come and so I just in the background pretending to carve all the names in the more. General a block or so in this where I could do this. A little. So I just. Said Stephen's United Church mill no.

And it suspended $61.00 accounts security correspondent Gordon Corera said the paper's origins were not yet clear they are believed to be authentic but no one is quite sure whether they were hacked whether someone leaks them and then a account linked to Russia saw this and started to promote them so there's still quite a lot which remains murky about this but certainly it has raised that question about Russian interference potentially in the u.k.
