Typhoid Mary in Llandaff also had an excellent message this morning. Slippery Dick the Sherry has resigned. What was that, 16 months in total with six months swinging the lead? Not quite as shortlived as nine weeks Henderson, but as Shirley used to say, heigh ho! 🤣 🤣 🤣
Excellent news indeed. Did slippery Dick have time to sign this years accounts in time for the Easter Vestry meeting or did he refuse, also like Janet Henderson?
According to the Cathedral's schizophrenic website, they can't make their mind up whether Dick resigned or "retired". Obviously a rush job to publish a statement before Martin Shipton gets hold of the story.

Rumour has it that an intern from Citizen has been lined up to take over. They’re currently a barista on the coffee wagon and just need to give two months notice before they can begin. The Majestas will soon be housing strobe lighting and a rig, but the planned for smoke machine has had to be shelved because of the current incense policy in place. Meanwhile Canon Ian is trying to think of 10,000 reasons to remain. Cathedral to be renamed Holy Trinity Llandaff. HTL.
Overheard in the Lady Chapel this morning, the clinks of a few glasses of sherry raised in toasts to Dick's departure. Good riddance to another dead loss. Llandaff, the graveyard of careers and the joke Music Foundation that never was.

Further Update - Nicky Gumbel and wife Pippa seen on the green eyeing up the Deanery for the launch of two new foundations. CRF - the Cathedral Revitalisation Fund and PiP’s own personal campaign - PPP - Pippa’s Purge on Poofs, thought to signal HTB’s new transparency on the LLF process in England. Canon Jan now also seen turning her baseball cap the wrong way round in deference to Gumbel protocol. Things are moving fast @HTL. Next move - close those reredos!!.
Additional Update - following the hasty visit of the Gumbels this morning, it has been reported that in a bid to get her foundation - Pippa's Purge of Poofs - off to a good start, Pippa has put the Head Verger on immediate gardening leave. Apparently he was seen holding his processional wand in too suggestive a fashion and this raised suspicion in Pip's mind. Nothing confirmed, but the purge has begun. The Rosetti triptych has also now been very firmly shut. As a complete aside, the Gumbels were delighted to learn that there is an Arga in the Deanery - Pip loves a good bake. @HTL.
Am I the only one with insight into what's happening @HTL? I can't be. It would be interesting to hear of others with observations on this fast moving story from Llandaff. Any Questions? Any Answers?
Has the mystery of the missing Mincer of Bangor solved? The chocolate teapot Randy Pandy is having it translated into the Llandaff Deanery toute suite.
If indeed the gay cabal are about to be purged from Llandaff, it's about twenty years late. But better late than never. What about Offa's trench and her girlfriend in Newport?
Oh surely Menai S, Amoeba-brained Andrew John isn't that stupid as to inflict Longshanks the grass-hopper ap Rhys Evans onto Llandaff even though they are probably deserving of such a clown. And how might the half-pint Mary react. She tended to give him a wide berth when she was in Bangor. Curiously enough a clergy buddy from the outer areas informs that the wider diocese hasn't enjoyed such peace since it lost its Diocesan Secretary ... yes, the same person. Long may it last.
Yeah. Some unexplained irrational spirit of kindness came over me in reference to the buffoon Andrew.
I've raised it before on AB pages but I'd still love to know how many clergy have quit the Diocese of Bangor (mainly to England) or have been 'sacked' with huge payoffs and glowing references from the same +Andrew or who are still medically defined as suffering long-term mental traumas from their exposure to the Novichok effects of the Putin of Bangor.
As for previous comment of another contributor asking if Inspector Knacker's enquiries into the other disappeared senior cleric the former Venerable Lavatory Attendant ... delighted to say that he's resurfaced (quite close to Bangor actually), looking fit and healthy, jovial and just waiting for his Brutus day. Could be more costly than Rev Clifford Williams !!!!
Meanwhile my apologies to all for this brief lapse in clinical thinking vis the Nerd and his vanished underling.

One imagines you should be able to extract the data you seek by comparing information printed in successive Diocesan Clergy Yearbooks. Similarly damaging data used to be published here, concerning plummeting communicant numbers at Llandaff Cathedral, by blog contributors. During the plague of subversives, the Capon decided that the Cathedral's response to the embarrassing revelations would be to stop publishing their monthly communicant statistics in the Parish magazine. To this day, Llandaff Cathedral fails to meet the challenge of publishing the communicant statistics. Perhaps you can bring about an end to Diocesan Yearbooks too?
Quite so Episkopos. Except that what used to be known as the Diocesan Almanac or Yearbook was abandoned in Bangor too in the year when Andrew John arrived and for the same reasons you allude to ... the embarrassing admissions in the statistics depicting the early collapse of the C-in-W. Baptisms. communicants, weddings etc by parish. There was promise that this information would be available 'on line' but that never happened as of course the then newly appointed diocesan secretary Sion ap Rhys Evans would ensure it didn't.
And here we are still seemingly intrigued by theories of 'Vatican Secrets' yet not a single parish vicar in Wales nor archdeacon nor PCC Chairman willing to dare ask for an annual report into the state of our Church. And of course the RB/C-in-W Press Office hides behind some untested theory that the C-in-W is exempted from the Freedom of Information Act. Forget the Act; simple honesty would be OK. I assume the Church still believes in the 'Confession'? Pity it can't 'Fess Up' to its dreadful state of affairs.
