Brilliant! I’m getting some chalk in ready – hang the expense!

Terence – Why didn’t you just ask them to clean the place?

Milton – Good point. Saving is the name of the game these days.

Welcome James! The hose is fine, but it tends to make a bit of a mess of the place. A water pistol [filled with pee]?

Geri – I can’t apply that here, unfortunately. I could always ask if they had an Irish version and threaten to sue them under the discrimination act?

We get them here in the Neths. too and my usual reply when refusing to take their magazine was always a gleeful: “I can’t read Dutch..” until recently, when I got trounced by a couple of beaming soul savers who announced that they now imported the English version. Darn it….

You have reminded me of a couple of years ago when I was approached by a petite middle aged woman in a quiet Sainsbury’s in way up North. As she handed me a flyer with lots of bible quotes on it she asked me did I want to be saved – I told her that that was why I was there. Much more being saved these days so I guess her work is done.

I had the Mormons over once, back in 1995 it was, I remember it well. I’d met them outside my flat weeks earlier when hungover as a student and they turned up on my door one evening.

They spoke about some bloke called Joseph and a bush doing stuff and then they took out some sort of bible and then I read a bit of it but they clearly spotted I wasn’t for turning Mormon and eventually they fucked off, picking their way out through dishes, laundry, beer cans, other debris.

Maxi’s right. It’s a mistake I had to make once anyway.

Faith is what I have. Religion is what they had. There’s a difference, and I don’t want any of theirs, thanks.

Religion? What is this religion you speak of?

JD – I didn’t say so explicitly, but they were, in fact JWs. I was amazed that they quit so easily. Had they never seen dangly bits before?

Maxi – Never. Not even once.

A mistake everyone makes at least once!
