This youth worker is trying to get this gamecube working on a TV screen, he's going in through SCART but can't switch it to the AV channel. "You can't get the AV channel working on a TV? looks like you're youth work skills are slipping. Next you won't be able to remember which pool balls go where and then you won't be able to get the net to stay up right on the table-tennis table and then you may as well just quit because you're youth work skills are dead and gone". Mental note; don't insult a man's technological ability at the same time as insulting his ability to do his job.
One of the peculiar things about these sorts of conferences is that you keep on seeing people that you think you know and you've no idea how. Presumably you know them from another Christian conference or from some church event or something, but you're never quite sure. So you have conversations like this. "Do I know you from Soul Survivor?" "No, I don't go there, maybe it was Spring Harvest" "I haven't been there since I was ten, where did you say you were from again" "Nottingham" "Oh, well that's no help. You didn't do Careforce did you?" "No... but I did work with YFC for 6 months" "sorry, that means nothing to me. Oh wait, you didn't do Northern Cornhill did you?" "Yeah! That's it" "Oh, oh that makes sense" "Mmm" "..." "..." "So... you think of anything else to talk about?" "Nope" "Ho-Hum"
On a final note, how's this for a quote: God the Father showed his love for God the Son by sending Him to die on the cross. Not showed His love for us (which we all know to be true), but showed His love for the Son.

Hi, what does that last bit mean..? I don't think I get it... Where does that come from?
It's almost like I'm there with you Mark, I assume from your "right now" thing that you're on the phone to Hayley, while talking. Isn't the talking bit slightly redundant? Or, you're on the phone to Hayley while talking to someone else... How rude!

Phil: The idea is as follows. God loves the Son and wants to see the Son exalted above all. Therefore the most loving thing that Father can do is ensure his Son is most exalted. The Son is exalted above all in his death and resurrection. Therefore the most loving thing that Father can do is send His Son to die on the cross. That's a very brief summary, but that's the core of it.
Yeah, I get that (although I think it still get confusing when the trinity is talked about 'separate-like', but I guess that's just the case, and we shouldn't forget that that's a big part of the trinity). Is/was the Son really exalted above all in His death, or is that just in His resurrection?

Reminds me of the oft-quoted Vietnam era statement: "We had to burn that village to save it."
