Slightly OT again, sorry.

Herr Berbunch, you could have got them to do an open air christening in Galway, just dip the baby in the river jordan.
Might be a bit cold yet though.

That couldn't be any worse that the service we received.
To start with the vicar was having a fag outside the main door when the guests were arriving. He said it'd last 25 minutes, but there'd be some humerous parts in there - it lasted just over 10, fortunately, and there was absolutely nothing funny. He started by saying it wasn't a Christening, as the parents didn't come to church, but a thanksgiving for the birth of the baby, and promptly forgot the child's name each and every time (maybe this was what he thought passed for humour?). He said that in previous times the women weren't allowed to go home from the hospital, but had to go to church first as they were 'unclean' - so mother's are inherently unclean? Did all mothers throughout time give birth in a hospital? (We had a home-birth, much better)
Part of the service was a passage about 'bringing the children to me, so I can lay my hands on them' - afterwards everyone said they were thinking about Jimmy Savile at this point.
Just dire. :nope:
