Is anybody running a book on who the new boy will be? My money's on the Very Revd David Brindley, Dean of Portsmouth since 2002. Must be overdue for promotion, shurely.

Or should this be in Eccles? Or not be at all?

Posted by Robert Armin (# 182) on :

I knew Brindley years ago, and he's a very good bloke. But how old is he now?

Posted by The Rogue (# 2275) on :

Southwell is also looking.

How does one play this one ?

Is it like Mornington Crescent ?

Skegness!

Or does that answer only work in the Caption Competition?

David Brindley is 61.

Whoever is appointed, you can guarantee they'll go over their past with a very fine tooth-comb: to have one bishop questioned about possible past sexual offences is unfortunate, to have two...?

Posted by Albertus (# 13356) on :

Two out of the last three, actually. Not terribly good.

Posted by TonyK (# 35) on :

No idea who - and I'm a local lad!!

But I wouldn't be at all surprised if the new bishop was female...

Posted by leo (# 1458) on :

Only if the diocese is prepared to wait 6-87 months until the legislation is passed.

Posted by Verdant Green (# 18246) on :

The only Brindley I knew was Brian. I guess this one is less colourful?

Posted by leo (# 1458) on :

Brian Brindley was great fun.

Worth noting that all charges have been dropped

Would it be worth running a book on whether the mainstream media won't bother reporting it?

It was on breaking news on the BBC news website.
