So now you can be lectured to by a fully deluded woman.

And here I was thinking the British women knew better than to 'get in bed' with a bunch of CofE idiots.

Well intentioned idiots, but still idiots.

Most of the senior CofE clergy have admitted that they don't belive in god!

One up on the RCC though who will be centuries behind on the promotion of women to the clergy as they are shit-scared of them taking all the best dresses.

Ha, ha, ha.

A female Pope, hmmm? Sinead O'Connor after she has finished being a Sinn Fein politician?

Just a thought :-)

@7 ChrisR,
Oh you are awful, but l do like you.
@8 Briton,
Yes, Dick Emery. l liked his humour. RIP Dick.
Loved Ronnie Barker also(with his fork handles).
Never used to like American humour but its getting better.
Especially George Carlin. He's passed on too.
Just my opinion.
