Nothing wrong with a quarter peel of various variations of doubles. 5! changes per five minutes or 6! of a major method for the full 50 minutes.
Good fun being an atheist who rings the bells. The dirty look from the vicar as you make your exit.

FFS why???

I feel your pain Lucy..... I live not far from a church and six days a week you could hear a pin drop that is except on a Sunday at 10:13am on the dot every week. F**K ME I swear the bandit is trying to get the whole of Falkirk into that church!!!
On an odd occassion purely out of badness and to give all the oldies who go there (I've yet to see anyone there under 65)something to talk about I'll drive my big black Harley with straight through exhausts at maximum revs past the church
you can almost hear them say spawn of the devil.... I say alomst as you can't hear them over my bike

I once had the great good fortune to live in a place where, one Sunday evening, I left the house to the sound of the church bells over the road calling the faithful to Evensong, walked up the road to where I could hear the muezzin calling the faithful to prayer, and then waited at the bus stop listening to the chanting of the faithful from the Hindu temple.
It was nice to feel that the neighbourhood in which I lived was part of a wider, more diverse world of belief - although I'm not sure many of you on here will grasp what I mean, more's the pity
Around here it was - I lived on Vicarage Lane

I find that there is something soothing about the sound of church bells resonating across the village green on a balmy summer's day, as the last wickets fall to the victorious team and the farmers settle down on the benches outside the Rose and Crown to sup their light ale.
Church bells always evoke the same image for me, of a gentler, less frenetic age, now lost forever by the march of progress ; whatever that means.

I quite like the sound of church bells. Though I'll admit they can get a bit repetitive.
Why not pop over and ask them if they could play a bit of Led Zep rather thatn the usual Bing bong bing bong bing bong bing bong?

You'd be Esmeralda:
She is a French gypsy girl. She constantly attracts men with her seductive dances, and is rarely seen without her clever goat Djali. She is often noted to be around 16 years old.

What would god think about those leftie sexual perversion embracers who live opposite, bringing shame on god's house?
Ring those bells, renounce the devil!
