Who's Next?
How the hell have we managed these past few weeks without a Pope? Where has our spiritual guidance been coming from during this interegnum? Who will God rely on to get his message out without a Papal conduit? According to some rumours Birmingham City Football Club are bolloxed without a 'Representative on Earth' being around. Here's hoping the 'clave (cheers Andy) argue amongst themselves until after Wednesday's clash with the mighty Blues of Manchester.Well, my Dad's back in hospital tomorrow. Tests for Parkinson's Disease. It never rains but it pours. At least we'll have a better understanding of his needs and why he's like he is once he allows himself to be poked and probed again.
Fortunately he's at a different hospital. One that's a damn site (sight?) more accessible via public transport, cleaner and more modern. Here's hoping he isn't visited by a Tory candidate. It would make the national news - believe me.
"You can't describe the feeling. When the smoke came out it looked white and I got chills," an Italian student Silvia Mariano, said. Get a life. Not an afterlife. Prick.
40,000 watching the chimney. 40,000? It sounds a lot. But it isn't. Manchester City consistantly attract 46,000 plus for premiership games every couple of weeks or so. Any other premiership team with a ground big enough would hope for crowds of the same size. I ask myself, 40,000 pilgrims hanging around to see who the next representative of their God on earth will be? Pretty poor turn out if you ask me. Especially for the founding church of the Christian religion on this blue planet of ours.
Rivetting TV though. Fuckin' chimney. Rivetting.

There's a big fuck-off chimney in Carlisle. Human nature being what it is, if I stand under it and stare up for a while, I reckon a crowd will gather.
I wonder how many outside the chapel are there just because they saw someone else looking up ?
I thoroughly approve of the Japan.
