The padre that did our remembrance service tonight has invited us to visit him in Oz next year, he lives 80k north of Sydney.
Nice bloke, bit too fire and brimstone for poor little CofE me though!

I am doing the remembrance service in Brum today - Sd all pressed and shoes bulled to the CSMs standard at the factory (just hope my RSM thinks so!).

A quick joke:

a farmer rings the Vet and asks him for more of the fertility pills he prescribed for his bull. The Vet asks what they were called so he can write another prescription to which the farmer replies, "I dunno, but if it helps, they taste of aniseed!"

A quick thought:
Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13).

A quick prayer (The Keifer Prayer):
"Lord, I shall be very busy this day. I may forget thee. But do not thou forget me. Amen."

We will remember them

Hope the day went well for you Vic
See you managed to get in a quick thought and a quick prayer though mate Bless you my son.

But do not thou forget me

How thoughtfull that is, `specially today

Hypes, we spent ages going round all the Anglican churches down here, trying to find an oldee stylee God botherer in order to give young Jack a sense of the Christian ideal. How disappointed were we then?
Happy clappy gone mad, the lot of`em Any church where the vic wears board shorts, carrys a guitar and introduces himself as "Hi, my name`s Willow" got thinned out Still haven`t found a decent one
All they want to talk about is empathy, how they understand how everyone feels, ffs Harry, how do you think Jesus felt as he was crucified?
Er, dunno mate, I`ve had better Fridays? I bet he wished he`d`ve gone on a long weekend instead
Er, went down like lead balloon

We`ll all now sing hymn number 643, "Has anybody seen J C?"

Five foot nine, from Palestine,
He turns water into wine,
Has anybody seen JC?

Virgin Mary, she`s the most,
She`s been kissed by the holy ghost,
Has anybody seen J C?

You missed the verse:

JC's a hoot, He's no fool,
Walked across my swimming pool,
Has anybody seen JC?

Used to sing about nine verses to this when we were on way to or from Church parade when I were a lad.

Often followed by Hey ho Sir Rowley or I have a girl in Albertuck!

Oh yes, happy daze.

Vic, those two are the only clean verses I know, and I cleaned up the second verse for a family audience
So, are you going to send us yer X-rays then or not? We do a nice line in lower leg injury consultation

How was Brum Padre? Can you post us some phots?
Was it
A)Cold or
B)Wet or
C)Both

Didn`t get to the Service meself as it was me both birfdee and we were celebrating being down here for five years, plus me laddo had cricket first thing. That`s about the third one I have missed in thirty odd years
DTS went well, moderate consumption, mixed party of RMs and local civpop, all thinned out by 21 00 when me child bride gave me what for in the pool.
Revelations 3, verse 11.1, refers

Take it easy Padre, make sure you get plenty of rest on that leg

Well, the weather started with rain and ended with rain but we had sun during the parade so all went well on the day!

Photos abound:

Well at least you had an honourable discharge! A belated happy birthday

Thanks mate
Nice phots and the weather wasn`t too inclement.

Are you the Bish on the left? Sorry I can`t nick any full sized phots from that site
Good spot on my Bible Code btw When you get out there keep your head down and remember the lads like a drink and they like a joke.
Anything else, they`ll come to you
Good luck Padre
