Is this something to do with Brexit as everything else seems to be about it? Surely the great steaming pile of something or other sums up Brexit like nothing else does!
A friend at Llandaff told me of a funny incident after the 9am eucharist last Palm Sunday. As usual the Dean brought along two donkeys for the procession.
After the service, Mr Toad and the other vergers were confronted by a huge steaming pile of manure outside the West Door. The sight of all these unncessary verging staff (inc Toad) just looking uselessly at the pile of crap was a very apt metaphor for Llandaff!
In the good old days, Colonel Horley would have been round there with his bucket quicker than you could say "Mr Toad". He regularly has the best roses in Llandaff.
At least the west door provided a breath of freash air and a change of scenery Simon. A steaming pile of crap is regularly to be found left in the pulpit and the donkeys sat, wearing red capes, in stalls reserved for the Dean, Archdeaconesse of Llandaff and Canon Precentor.
Indeed AB, congratulations are in order. Your weekly viewing figures probably exceed the number of Welsh Anglicans who attend church on a regular basis.
No matter what PR puffery the Bench puts out via Anna Morrell, they should be deeply worried that your numbers are going up and up whilst theirs slide ever downward.
They have all the resources of Callaghan Square at their displosal and you're just "one man and his blog". Yet the blog is winning!
Yes indeed, AB, well done. Rum pansies all round yet again. Long may you and your blog continue to be a sharp long thorn in the backsides of the arses running the Church in Wales. It's such a pity the Llandaffchester Chronicles are no longer with us.
Absolutely! I am not a great contributor but I do read the blog everyday and have not disagreed with very many comments so far. Thanks for all your hard work. David.

ReplyDeleteClean up needed because of the elephant in the room.
ReplyDeleteThe words "shovel" and "s**t" spring to mind AB but restraint prevails.
ReplyDeleteYou’re in a hole. Stop digging.
ReplyDeleteThis sign is sexist and demeans males to manual labour. Come now Joanna you know better than this!

ReplyDeleteThe Provincial Secretary hated Bench of Bishops meetings. He never knew what he'd have to clean up afterwards.

ReplyDeleteAs soon as they have finished the job in St. Davids please send them over to Llandaff with their swamp draining and dunhill removal equipment.
DeleteFollowing St. Davids and Llandaff, Callaghan Square next.

Colonel Horley would've turfed Mr Toad into the manure!
DeleteMany congratulations on reaching the landmark of 2 million views Ancient Briton.
ReplyDeleteNo mean feat!
Thank you Episkopos and to the Church in Wales bench of bishops who unwittingly provide much of the material AB's readers find so interesting.
ReplyDeleteIndeed AB, congratulations are in order. Your weekly viewing figures probably exceed the number of Welsh Anglicans who attend church on a regular basis.

DeleteI learn about what is happening from AB. I had no idea about 'Monmouth' etc until seen on here, and all the Llandaff stuff etc
