    How times change - the 1982 one was a converted Rangie, still, given his background I suppose he would insist on something German.

    I heard it said on one of the topical comedy shows, I forget which one. I didn't believe it myself, but it was an amusing image. And often there is some half-truth behind satire.

    I went to a Catholic Christening yesterday and the bastard didn't turn up.

    De lawd tried to get me again while I was in church but I escaped just in time. Discovered I had forgotten all of my stations of the cross apart from "Jesus falls the first time"
