Sinister: It Takes Puffs to Be Gentle and Kind
I'm not going to say thank you to Honey. I think he does a terrible job. I'm all in favour of having advertisements at the end of every message. It would double the likelihood of finding anything interesting in them. Just look at this description of a humble place of worship, taken from a well-known ecclesiastical guidebook: "HONEYCHURCH St Mary * Norman farmers' chapel The sign on the door says simply, "This door is never locked". It should be the motto of the Church of England...The nave is filled with seats so worm-eaten that the rear ones would wear holes in all but the stoutest flannel. By the door is a small poor-box. The pulpit is primitive, as are the floorbords that substitute for flagstones or tiles...The only cuiosity in what passes for the chancel are some medieval cooking pots. These are stored, for some reason, under a table next to the altar. Pevsner suggests that these may have been acoustic pots, to be set in the walls of chancels allegedly to enhance the sound of singing." No further comment is required. I promise to reply to my e-chums tomorrow. Mike and Pam, tape tree chipmonks, sorry I didn't managed to send the tapes before last week's jingle jangle joyola. They might have turned it into a filthy festering funkathon. Glad to hear Hopkins hasn't changed during his absence.
