Having managed to keep my Lenten resolution to stay away from booze, I treated myself to a wheelbarrow and two pots of taramarsalata.

@Gda1238 He preached at Henry VIII's grandmother's funeral but that counted for nothing to that psychopath

St. John Fisher.
A kind and peaceable man.
A true shepherd to his flock at Rochester.
A true hero and martyr.

@michael_merrick Shall we tell him that Christianity came to Britain before the Saxons and their gods?

Like when the lanyardist, with a knowing sigh, kindly deigns to patronise you and patiently explain things in simple terms... before launching into utter nonsense.

*Weary, non-Cretin voice* Easter eggs usually don't have the word Easter on them precisely because they have nothing to do with Christianity. Eggs are an ancient, traditional symbol of Eostre, the pagan spring festival which existed 1000s of years before that Jesus lad rocked up.

@KayStoneArt That a fabulous painting. Do you still have oil seed rape in your neck of the woods?

@DonnaWarburton1 It's ok, not to worry, intermittent energy can't power ddata centres so it isn't happening as long as the push for solar and wind continue

@holysmoke Is it possible that they just don't take anything particularly seriously?

This is *good* representation? Fewer than half the C of E bishops eligible to debate infanticide can be arsed to do so. I wonder what bad representation would look like.
Richard Bastable@rmbastable
Of 22 eligible bishops, my sources tell me to expect 10 to be present. This is remarkably good representation. If you write a letter, it worked!

@DeiniolJones69 I parse 'colourways' as meaning 'we make lots of useless stuff in this shade we will try to sell you, with paint as a gateway drug.'
English
And the word ‘colourways.’ Why is this used instead of colours? There is no reason.
DeiniolJones@DeiniolJones69
And Jim Carrey. Just don’t get it.

@michael_merrick In other words, from what we call y gwir gogledd, the true north. Which then would have been part of Welsh speaking Britain

POLL: St Patrick was a Romano-Britain! He was from an unknown Bannavem Taburniae according to his own writings (his Confession). Which country do you think he was born in? England, Scotland or Wales?! #StPatricksDay #LáFhéilePádraig #FairyTaleTuesday 😇☘️🔥🐍🏴🏴🏴

@Joe___Allen The Powys situation is a particular crisis because, with so many of us self-employed, many people pay themselves less than minimum wage to keep their businesses going
English
Incredible table.
6 of the bottom 10 local authority areas in the UK for first time buyer affordability are in Wales.
Why? Because our wages are crap. Bizarre lack of political interest in private sector housing, too.

@history_alice @ArchbishopSarah @StPaulsLondon @Southwarkcathed Some of us never gave up the tradition. Holywell in North Wales is an unbroken pre-Reformation pilgrimage site.

This afternoon the Archbishop of Canterbury set off on a pilgrimage! @ArchbishopSarah @StPaulsLondon @Southwarkcathed

They that wash on Monday have all the week to dry. They that wash on Tuesday are not so much awry. They that wash on Wednesday wash in a hurry, they that wash on Thursday wash for worry. The that wash on Friday wash for need, but they that wash on Saturday, they are sluts indeed.

Woken up even more baffled by the film 'I Swear.' Why did the makers portray Galashiels as a highrise urban hellscape? I lived near Gala & returned on a visit a couple of weeks ago. If you feel the story needs urban grit, just move the location. If you say it's Gala, show Gala.

How many people are being received into the Anglican church as adults? 800 this Easter in Westminster alone are becoming Catholics. I hope there will be lots joining the C of E as well but I can't remember anything like this before
English
@lodeslan @EvanAG1999 They are run in Catholic countries where the population can sustain them. There aren’t enough Catholics in the UK to take on one ancient cathedral!
English
Watching 'I Swear.' Great portrait of a young man living with a condition few understand. Not so great a portrait of Galashiels. One long shot had a row of tower blocks. And thus far, no sign of the Common Riding. Gala's not a part of Glascow, chaps

This is a very interesting, counter-cultural listen. I am busy asking politicians in Wales at the moment about their support for all parents, not just 2 income households and getting a lot of crickets in reply. Mothers staying at home with babies should be a supported choice.

'Parents don't realise that nurseries are day orphanages and warehouses for their children' Child psychotherapist Erica Komisar says parents are being bullied and misled into believing that daycare is good for their children, aruging that nurseries are effectively 'day orphanages' that cannot provides babies with the same safety and security provided by their parents. @EricaKomisarCSW @NatashaFeroze

@siobhanworld My mother used to say: 'Don't marry for money but look for love where money is.' Advice I didn't follow, but neither did she.
English
After a rubbish morning at work, I’ve decided that if I marry again, it will be for money not love. So if there’s any millionaires out there looking for a slightly shop-soiled old bird for constant nagging, no sex and post menopausal mood swings, please form an orderly queue.

@KeruboSk I am afraid not but then, living in a house with five other siblings, they were probably quite resilient. Also, when my sister was killed when I was ten, I still remember the relief of getting back to normal routine after a period or mourning

@JennMGreenberg This reads to me a bit like saying: 'So great for you that your parents had a horrible divorce because it made you concentrate more at school.' There is no benefit whatsoever to the Reformation from a Catholic viewpoint.
English
Catholics actually benefited a great deal from the Reformation. For example, you can now read the Bible in English. I think we can all agree, that’s an incredible blessing.
