a note for first-timers

If it's your first time here and you're new to blogs, the first post you'll see is the most recent so that's where you should be ending, rather than starting. Otherwise, carry on...

confessions

"Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I've had Polyfilla yoghurts for the last two days. And I enjoyed them."

"I'm sorry, my child, but that is simply unforgivable. But make a donation of a few thousand pounds to the church's wine fund and I'll put in a good word for you with the man upstairs. Oh, and you might as well say a few Hail Marys too."

That, I'm thinking, is what would happen if I went to confess my yoghurty sins to a priest this evening.

The church where yesterday evening's Future Stars of The Premiership were having a kickabout might be a better bet, actually - they seem to tolerate a lot less acceptable behaviour.

Incidentally, it's been decided that the Pope (or, at least, the last one) is (was) a knob. A poll of several thousand people (read "split personalities") was taken and 87% of them agreed that His Holiness talks (used to talk) through his holiness.
