Re: August Army Manoevres

You'd better get the troops organised Jacks for Saturday ? .......... including Ms A ?
I'll do swap in work for the Sunday .......

I'll kidnap her and stick her in me hand luggage.

I should have sent a warning to you over in the Emerald Isle..........a party of six young lady lawyers are on the lash over in Dublin.....actually you'll prolly hear them before you see them......one of them is the S&H's girlfriend.........warning signs to look for..........songs from Frozen, Lion King and Justin Beiber...........extremely high heels and ear splitting cackling laughter.

Watch the programme Starty - guarantee you'll LOVE it.
Was written yonks ago - and supposed to be far-fetched - where the men in the name of religion rule the world - women are for breeding - but I dunno - reminds me of Ireland not that long ago :egad:
If I hear the word POPE once more I'll SCREAMMMMMMMMM !! :rant:

Well here's a GREAT pope story - wait till you hear this one!!! We are so stretched and short staffed it's unreal - but we aren't an emergency service - hospitals and schools are in the same situation -- but new recruits can't be taken on until they are Garda vetted -- all Garda vetting has been suspended for this month because 1500 Ministers of the Eucharist (don't ask cos I don't really know but it's something to do with the church) have to be Garda vetted for the Pope's visit - I shit you not!

Never watched it.... but,

Bogia - Netflix... https://www.netflix.com/title/70208792

it's all about a...

Pope :haha:

Alexander VI no less. Comes across as a quite evil licentious soul. Lot's of sex - the pope's at with young mistresses, the cardinals are at it with each other :egad:, barbaric violence, drug taking, endless swilling of vino collapso.... If ever one thought the RC church was in any way puritan, they'll be shocked. Hedonism ruled. God was an excuse. Religion a front. Hmmm... actually not so far from some quarters of organised religion today.... Interestingly (or not) (it is for me, cos i used to live here...) Pope Alexander VI was influential in the creation of King's College, Aberdeen - now part of Aberdeen Uni. Pope Alexander VI - Wikipedia

Re: August Army Manoevres

Hello Molls and good to see you Whizzy - keep close.

Kids back tomorrow, but I've got an easy start - no needing to plan anything as I'll probably be assisting teachers with classes. Next week is when got to get to the grindstone.

Tonight I start directing the am dram theatre group - 9-5 - runs from Nov 6-10 if any of youse find yourself in Helensburgh!

It will mean that from a fortnight hence, I'll be out Wed and Thur evenings til late (for Arsey) and all Sun afternoon. the thought of it dreads me, as i'm often so bollixed by about 7pm, and rep's don't START until 7.30pm/8pm!! But it's only for 12 weeks. I can survive. Actually, it'll be good for me. Get out there and have my life be consumed with something other than teaching or running by myself. It's a good ting.

Right, better get some desert... ice-cream methinks.

Re: August Army Manoevres

LOVED the Borgia's -- love Jeremy Irons anyway - but the series was amazing!!!
You're right to fill up the evenings for a while Arsey if you're thinking of moving on the grog - the less time the better....
Now gonna get my grub -- starving marvin!!!

There the ones who give out communion at Mass - wimmin & all :egad: - 'cos they ran out of priests .....
Pity they didn't vet the priests years ago ?

Sounds like Ireland again !!

Re: August Army Manoevres

Brought up a catholic and family still praying for my return to the fold. Became an atheist at 18 loads of work for them then. Mr A has had his op postponed so feeling a bit fed up to say the least) All well on the booze front as just got an entry into London marathon next year. Focus my mind!!

Re: August Army Manoevres

Helloooooooooooo

[MENTION=18049]RunningCourage[/MENTION]......will it be luvvie or dahling from now on? Took me two goes to get into the Netflix version...........just couldn't get Borgia's broad American accent the couple of times.......did power through as its gruesome, raunchy and tbh highly entertaining if you put your tongue in cheek.

Molls, the Jeremy Iron's Borgia sounds like it was done properly. I'm just having a re-run of second series of Versaille (got a brain like a seive so need to get up to speed) so I can start season three. Just love the king and his brother.

Just how long have the powers that be known he was coming? Disorganised is the word that comes to mind.

You lucky lot the Pope in August and JC in October

[MENTION=22839]brit[/MENTION]..............we'll be tracking you all the way round. Mr JC nearly passed out withdelight when he saw you cross the finishing line. Bugger about the op. Honestly.
