thought I'd be in the deep doo doo with you all!


you can all dish it out .................


but you can't take it, can you?

........care to elaborate? You seem disappointed that no one has argued? I will carry on posting as a paying member as I see fit and within the t and c's of the site...not entering into an argument or a discussion...or making any justification for my sense of humour or posts because i don't need to !!!! lol..

Anyhow.back to the subject in hand..don't want to be going off topic......

Oooh yes blancmange and I will referee :-D

As an atheist I am entitled to exercise my right to express an opinion exactly the same as you are on the Christian thread.

There has to be a mastermind game too. First round on papal decrees and the second on their specialist subject, awaits suggestions :-D

Can I play the John Simpson role on the mastermind round?.

I've always wanted to say *i've started so i'll finish* :-D

To whom are you referring Hayley, Sylvia or myself?


I do believe you suggested that one of questions in the pope contest could be.......Can you name Mary's son.......Kevin....wrong ...CABBAGE.


I'm hardly splitting my sides at that quip to be honest.


Maybe I'm forgetting that it's absolutely hilarious to make fun of the situation surrounding a sick old man and who will take over his immensely responsible job.


Blancmange?

Goodness me, why didn't I think of that myself. sheeeeesh must be losing my touch.


Oh yes, I can think of some selection ideas I can share with the group....but they include words like

Respect
Tolerance
Compassion
Patience
Goodwill




On the news it has just said that one of the very few people the Pope confided in was his brother. I do wonder if he has been told some bad health news and has turned to family for support, advice and comfort. Even a Pope needs comfort at times.

You may Muffy :-D

I shall make the appropriate noises for sounds effects ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

BTW In no way are we mocking the current Pope FGS.

My daughter told me today that she thought that Bono could be in line to take over.
Bono?
Realising her mistake, she immediately corrected herself by saying.
"Oh, he can't be Pope, he hasn't been canonized yet, has he"?

My RC upbringing did not rub off on my offspring!

I have amended the OP in the vain hope that it will make the latter tone of this thread i.e. funnyish absolutely clear to anyone who chooses to click on it.

What a waste of 10 minutes of my life!

Muffyxx Report 11 Feb 2013 22:29

Good luck with that :-D

AnnCardiff Report 11 Feb 2013 22:33

no one - but no one - has made fun of the outgoing pope, or any other pope come to that, and I'm quite sure none of us would - and as for my vicar Cynthia, he is never disappointed in me and quite honestly he has a brilliant sense of humour and would just love the thought of a Pope Idol contest - I'll ask him when I see him next, and I will truthfully relay his response to you

Muffyxx

Muffyxx Report 11 Feb 2013 22:35

Do you think he would be up for judging the rapping round Ann? ;-)

you definitely were not the only person - both programmes had a large following - they were funny

supercrutch

supercrutch Report 11 Feb 2013 22:45

Please do not watch any TV programmes or read any media as you may be offended by remarks made by the great and good. The current Pope has just been referred to as 'the ostrich Pope' on newsnight. Whilst on HTV he was shown nodding off in his chair.

Boy are you gonna be bored until the 28th Feb :-D

AnnCardiff

AnnCardiff Report 11 Feb 2013 22:46

now to me, nodding off under any circumstances, is a normal human trait

Silly Sausage

Silly Sausage Report 11 Feb 2013 22:49

I am not as green as I am cabbage looking Sue the remarks made at some have absoloutely nothing to do with disrespecting the Pope or religion ;-) ;-) ;-)

and on that note my pc is driving me bonkers I kept getting booted off this site and its taken an age to load and I have to be up early in the morning :-(
