Dear Whazzits:

I have received your first check by registered international post. Thank you very much for your promptness. At your earliest possible convenience, please fax the pertinent pages from your ledger. It's not that I don't trust you, it's merely that I don't trust you.

By the way, you have the handwriting of a sociopath. Just thought you should know.

Also, next time please convert all amounts from Sterling to US$. I prefer not to deal with odd money.

And was Rev. Amby any more helpful to you? BTW, where has that charlatan gotten to? I guess fame has turned his head away from his poor deserted flock. Well, as Mae West would say, they come and they go, they go and they come, and always too soon. [Disappointed]

Ah, Blue. Dear little Blue. Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue.

No comment.

If you aren't execessively nice to be, Mr b, your next payment will be in that oh-so-credible currency, the Euro.

duchess - you learn quick.

Chorister, let me try and make this simple. As the Prophet said, "In the middle of the night, by the river of dreams, we didn't start the fire, but it's still rock and roll to me that I'm in love with an innocent man."

As for Shambulance, may his time at Canterbury be one of pestilence, plague and humorously shaped boils on his nether regions.

I really am surprised. It takes gin to tomb mellow, and now it seems, oodles of cash to make him polite.

My Lord Dyfrig, your Grace of Whatzzits, what would it take to make tomb smile or sing a happy tune?

Such blatant anti-mammalianism! May all your gin evaporate, and may all your money be fool's gold.

I think, bb, that you are finally understanding how the Anglican Communion works, particularly the Anglo-Catholic bit of it.

Quite simple - by pushing this thread to the top of the page with gratuitous attacks on fellow Christians.

Hey, you!

I've decided to nuke the entire world next weekend, just because. I'm taking a group of sycophants; witty, urbane types; and some people I laughingly call friends with me to the moon, to watch the firework display. We'll live up there for a bit, then come back to earth when the nuclear whassits have stopped being deadly.

  1. Do you want a seat on the rocket?
  2. Is there any good* reason why I shouldn't do this?
Viki

*Human life is sacred, or Killing everyone is a sin do not fall into the category of good reasons. Sez me.

Dear Sarkycow,

It's been tried before. You'll be thwarted at the eleventh hour by James Bond/Dr Who/Hong Kong Phooey.

Anyway, you're no rocket scientist. [Devil]

My dearingest, darlingest, Sarktoria,

There are many people on the Ship who consider you to be an interesting and knowledgeable contributor whose posts are always worth reading.

I suggest you go and talk to them instead.

Yours etc.

Most Esteemed Dyfrig,
Would it be within your Churchly powers to somehow enter the minds of all these "god-fearing" politicians around the world and set them straight?
Your Humble Servant,

A most interesting question (take note, everybody else).

There is a slight practical problem. The minds of the leaders to whom you refer already appear to be oocupied by 12-foot lizards and the Bildeberg Group (apart from Dweezil Bush, whose mind can only contain a small pretzel, and Tea-Towel Head in Ramallah, whose marbles have been away from home longer than the ones nicked by Lord Elgin).

I was speaking to my colleague, The Controller of World Affairs (Mr Arthur Ploxstead of 23 Snetterton Way, Smegma, Gloucestershire) the other day and he says the only way things are going to change is through the mass introduction of the Tetley's "pyramidical" teabag. But Arthur always was slightly odd, to say the least. He will never get the time machine to work - firstly his shed isn't big enough and anyway the Council will never let him install a plutonium reactor in conservation area.

Er, .... sorry, I don't think I should have told you that.

Anyway, my advice is clear - bathe every day and tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree. If in doubt, press # on your telephone keypad and help will be provided as soon as one of our operatives stops playing "Air on a G String" on the Bontempi organ.
