A new religion?
Posted by PaddyH on 25 December 2009 - 5:31pm.
At mass this morning, just as the gospel started with the words: 'In the beginning there was the Word,' I noticed a stranger to our congregation sitting opposite us in a Fairport Convention rugby shirt.
Was he sent to walk among us by Hepworth and Ellen?
He didn't have a beard though...

lack of beard
says "Non!"
but that's just me
A rugby shirt?
Not an Aran jumper, Afghan and loons?
No,
deffo a two panel rugby shirt (well washed) with FC logo across left side of chest, he looked well Cropredy...
Nah, I think you're spot on..
..but we should get to work on cataloguing the definitive Word Reader Stereotypes. Balding man, shaved head, manbag containing MacBook, Paul Smith frames, high end anorak made by a Scandinavian outdoor clothing company you've never heard of, iPhone and limited edition Addidas trainers. Probably works in Soho. That's another.
Hmm..
Fully-haired man, North Face rucksack containing cheapo Novatech notebook, Prada frames, very high-end Mountain Hardwear shell, bog-standard Nokia, Timberland deck-shoes. Works in Portchester.
There's a few boxes ticked, I must admit.
I tend to think more of these archetypes...
On the left - a typical FPO. On the right - the poor sod upon whom her spiked heel twists; a man who dreams of listening to Dr Strangely Strange but has to settle for Harry Belafonte.
The answer to everything
is to be found somewhere in a British 70's sitcom.
Heed The Word
Fairport is Very rugby shirt. Bet he likes Real ale.A geography teacher maybe ? Let's see if Retropath2 bites.
Me, I'm Bursting with pride...
Why? asks no-one. I'll tell ya why. My sister is part of a gospel choir in a county in western Ireland. Me missus is a piano genius who is but classical in training. Last night, she accompanied my little sister's fledgling gospel choir in the children's mass in Sixmilebridge. There had been just one 2hour long rehearsal and they were so good that I nearly reconsidered my agnosticism! Love to all the masssive and a very merry Christmas to every single one of you.
New Religion...
