I once gave Ma and Pa Reckondwyth "The Joy of Sex." My father's comment was, "That's all well and good if you don't have to get up for work the next morning."
the most moronic idea since Maximus Cretinus equipped the Third Legion with armour made of cheese to save money on steel and help out his brother's dairy business in Tuscany at the same time.
One of the OED definitions of "person" (II.4.c), dating to 1824, is "The human genitals; spec. the penis." It flags this as "Law" meaning I suppose it's a usage in legal documents/proceedings. So God is most definitely not a person in this sense, although some of his followers can be real dicks!
My handy cut out and keep guide to reading music for non music readers:
Notes go up - pitch goes up
Notes go down - pitch goes down
Bits added to notes - notes go faster
Bits taken away from notes - notes go slower.
Naughts and crosses square or funny b next to note - note sounds a bit more interesting.
When that bleeding haemorrhoid in the anal passage of humanity announced she was swimming the Tiber because the CofE wasn't sufficiently accommodating of her religious misogyny, my response was threefold.
1. Good. Fuck off then.
2. Do be a stranger
3. Sorry to my RC friends for what they were getting.
I’ve resuscitated more than a few ( pregnant) brides in my time. Most had insisted on the full virgin bit ( white frock and veil), were heavily corseted and had not eaten for a few days in a vain attempt to disguise their interesting condition.

Let it all hang out, says I
As long as you don't say it to an intoxicated groom.
For much the same reason I can criticise Mein Kampf despite never having read it - I have a pretty good idea of the contents from the reporting of others and I know the utter knob jockey(s) responsible and the dangerous crap they say in other contexts.
Update on previous posting: EE has now spoken with his boss. Boss opines what I am doing with the EBOH is very old fashioned and nobody does it that way anymore and bit of the App I had problems with had been updated to make it compatable with new ways networking ... or something. He suggests I change how I do things and sign up with a modern Internet company at £19.99 per month.
Sigh... to the nether regions all of them. I can see it now: St Peter at the Pearly Gates, "They don't seem to be opening for you old son, your old Church of England Salvation App needs an update" ....
On the Christmas Songs we Hate thread in Hell, Spike pointed out that The First Nowell could have been written by McGonagall, and Enoch responded with the following gem:
The shepherds were out in the wind and snow.
When all of a sudden there was a great glow.
An angels appeared and said to them
That they must go at once to Bethlehem.
They went as fast as they were able
And found a wee bairn in a stable
With Mary, Joseph and an ox and ass
For a wondrous thing had come to pass.
Then three wise men did appear,
Bringing gold, frankincense and myrhh.
But despite the legends, there was no boy with a drum.
You wouldn't want that when a child had just come.
For God mankind’s salvation has wrought.
And all this happened in the year nought.
But Herod all the wee babbies slew
Which is not what our own dear Queen would do.
"All I want is a ring somewhere
Far away from the Elvish air...
Lots of coals making lots of heat
Lots of fisssssh for me to eat
O wouldn't it be loverly!"
A choir I used to sing in used to sing the Hallelujah Chorus as the Gospel Acclamation on Easter Sunday; we had a soprano who was so far up the candle she utterly refused to rehearse it because Lent, and would sit on her hands, looking grumpy, when we had a quick run through it at the last rehearsal before Easter.
If it was because she was that far up the candle I can only imagine said candle was a good way up her...
I don't think I even have a chequebook now, with online banking, debit cards etc., generally so safe and convenient. As with all such things, of course, all is well until it isn't...
... but I have a second account, with a different bank, which also has a debit card. Belt, Braces, and String, IYSWIM!
None of which are sufficient in our case...
I'm thinking I'll just tattoo my ass navy blue and be done with it.

Another reason to look forward to retirement!
Your friends gather round you and hold you.

"Unlike here where the sinking ship abandoned the rat."
The name "Anglican Mainstream" is a bit like the "People's Democratic" bit in the official names of places like North Korea.

You would never find a defence lawyer to take on that case.
So am I!
