Reply to: Thoughts on the Pope's visit

I've looked on t'internet and only found that statistic quoted in 1 single uk newspaper, the Daily Mail

Also, the popemobile is a converted Mercedes Benz M Class SUV, all Mercedes are limited to 155mph, however Wikipedia states "The current Popemobile is based on a W163 ML430", this states however that 115mph is more likely the top speed and that's before it's been converted with that glass shed on the back.

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.

Don't worry; I had one of those last thursday and it passed quite uneventfully.

I haven't been following it. Seems like a lot of fuss about an old bloke dressed in white. I did hear that the Pope mobile is cable of doing 160 mph though, which was vaguely amusing.

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"

Pretty much ignored it. Caught a bit of one of the masses - choir was good!

I see Das Pope took a trip down the Hagley Road today.

Well, that explains closed road through Hagley Road direct to SKA Inc office, had to take Five Ways route - endless queue, on its own it's enough to become atheist
