I started sending requests by e-mail, then decided to throw it open to all comers.
I'm working on a prayer for the new year and need couplets such as "From markSmark, save me O lord", or "From the wrath of my Lord the site manager, May God preserve me". Each couplet should start with "From" and end with the prayer, and I'm trying to relate them to postings on the chat forum
Hope you have some good ideas. No large prizes offered, just a glass of good wine on the terrace next time you are in this part of France.
Joyeux Noel et Bonne Année en toute Santé et Sécurité à tous le monde.

From the (unfenced) pit of despond good Lord protect me.
From the unending Powerpoint presentations good Lord deliver me.
From a confusing maze of fire signage good Lord lead me forth

Hi Merv,
Looks like all the silly people have already knocked off for the festering season (or maybe just the sensible ones).
Here's a really convoluted one for you:
From malignant melanoma; UV sensitised dermatitis; radiation; and global warming: good Lord cause not thy face to shine upon us.

Hi Merv,
A quick search on the net came up with the following biblical quotation that gives backing to the HSW Act and associated regulations and case law...
LEV 25:18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
I also came across this one that seems to give approval for the discussion forum on this site and its many contributors...
PRO 11:14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
Merry Christmas
Roj

Which part of France would that be, then, Merv? I'll be sure to include it in my travel plans for next year!

Merv,
Hope you & your family have a very Happy Christmas & New Year.
Here are my thoughts for your prayer:
From the banning of conkers by beaurocrats,
Good Lord deliver us.
From the blaming of "elf 'n' safety" for indefensible management decisions,
Heavenly Father protect us.
Jon
P.S. What are you going to do for a Christmas tree this year now that you have cut down the prime candidate?

From blind faith may reason protect us.
A merry winter solstice festival and a happy, safe and prosperous new year to all.

From endless repetition of the same questions on this forum, may the Good Lord give us the strength to remember that we were all new to this once.
From the desire to respond in the heat of the moment may the Lord deliver us and help us to engage brain (and spillchucker) first.
From excessive testamurism may He who sees and knows ALL give us the good sense not to respond.
(yes I know there's probably no such word but regular posters KNOW what I mean)
A very happy and safe festive season to you all. Don't dance on the furniture...
Heather

From those who would wish to change, without explaining why, how we elect our Council-
Good Lord deliver us
