And this has what do do with Child abuse in Ireland, exactly?

Excellent. Do we have a surreal post of the week award? I nominate eliza to claim her ?20.

Eliza dear,

I live in Alleyn Road. Alleyn Park is far too close to Kingsdale for my tastes.

FYI, Kingsdale is a state school - how very down market>:D

I wonder if the noise some people complain about IN ED isn't air traffic, but a different kind of whooshing sound

"The Priests" are on Jonathan Ross tonight. I might watch it to see what all of the fuss is about.

The Catholic Church.

I was sorry to see that the cathedral in my home town was burnt to a shell in the early hours of yesterday. It was probably the only building on note in the town and goes back to 1840.

The Guards are investigating the cause. It will be intersting to find out if it was arson.

Edited to add the strange case of the bishop saying the last mass there referred in his sermon to a convent which was burned down in 1642! Was it a case of the bishop in the cathedral with the matches? (played Cluedo last night)

I'm slightly loathe to bring this thread up, but then this private eye cartoon made me laugh.

You should expect a long penance this week Mockney.

I think I may have suffered it just getting it on screen, iphone photo emailed to work, detatched and edited in paint to make the writing legible, uploaded to flickr then embedded in the post.......phew!!!!

That was the good Lord trying to help you be unsuccessful in your sinful act....but you were determined, and for that...please say 45 rosaries, at least.

I received this text message:

The Pope gets attacked.

The Catholic Church is in shame over decades of child abuse.

Rangers are top of the league and Gerry Adams declared incest in his family.

Carlsberg don't usually do Christmas for Prods..........but they've managed it this year.
