I forgot to mention - I'm going to church on Sunday.

pmsl What a good boy you are ..
Ummmmm im getting worried now lol

No, I mean it. I'm a reformed character altogether. I like the idea of the church bit - if I slip up through the week, like say a naughty word if I hit my thumb with a hammer, I can say sorry and ask to be forgiven on a Sunday morning and all will be well. Sounds like a good deal to me for the sake of 20p in the collection tray.

Oh dear Eldrick . it has been a long time since you last went to church ..
20p lmao more like a fiver lol .
Good on ya for the change though...
i think i would rather the old Eldrick back :o( im starting to feel all wooooo

lol
Eldrick,10p is enough for anybody

No, my mind is made up and I am resolute. When you think about it, you can sin all you want all week, get a clean slate on a Sunday then go to the pub. I don't know why more people don't do it.

Anyway, I like being pious. You can't get into bother when you are all saintly and good.

Afternoon Eldrick.
Not sure I'm going to like the 'new you'.
The old one was much more fun. and good enough for me.
You want to watch who you talk to at that church....... I hear there are some odd characters turn up there...

Tricia ,,still knitting... xxx
without the pearls and twinset and defo no net curtains.. If I'm watching I like to be seen..

Eldrick ,

That bought back memories...My mother told me she put half a crown in the collection box by mistake many years ago and had to ask the priest for it back ...she said it was supposed to have been a penny ..LOL

I think we would have starved had he not given it back .......!!

My mother used to put threepence in and but take change for a shilling. But she would have said sorry, so that would make it OK I presume.

Nothing like a bit of self flagellation to cleanse the soul, Eldrick:-) BCXX

If you tell us you are intending to partake of the communion wine and wafer as a snack I am going to faint!

Do they have wine there? Why didn't someone tell me before now! Is it free or is it pub prices?

Sue,

That was so funny.......

ROFL I believe it's rather pricey, although if you can perform some sleight of hand when the plate comes your way it will be free (but you don't get very much). You will have to run around and rejoin the back of the queue :-))

Edit: thank you M that was the one quip for the week.

No wine on offer at the moment-due to swine flu.

The wines Free Eldrick, but you have to listen to some stories from a really really old book told by a man ( usually) in a dress, sing some songs , bow your head and pretend to pray to some bloke called God, and then fling a donation to some passing women in twinsets and pearls first...
The pubs' less hassle :)

Sue ,
Now I am rolling....about the floor.

Eldrick is doing his best to became a Saint so we should all be pleased for him.

I go church as well Eldrick but the wine I have must come from (off the lorry)...its tasteless .

LWD he could take his own personal single use cup!

Well, it all sounds good to me. Get your sins forgiven, have a bit of a sing song and a bit free booze (once the swine flu's out of the way), get to meet lots of nice people and mingle with the tweeds and twinsets section of society. All for just a few pence.

Am I missing something here? Sounds too good to be true. Is there an annual subscription, like the golf club?

Saint Eldrick !
Now that has a nice ring to it
lol
