Back to the stupid puns. Sorry – it appears to be all I’ve got.
We were musing, the way you do, about what the schedule of a religious TV channel might look like. (I understand they actually have these in the US, but this would be a very UK version.) So far we’ve come up with:
Big Bretheren
Vocation, Vocation, Vocation
Top of the Popes
One Man and His Dogcollar
Manicheans Behaving Badly
Wish You Were Here(tic)
Now look, I’m not going to take all the blame for this - I was partly inspired by Le Poulet Noir, so you can register your complaints over there.

Are you by any chance a fan of “I’m sorry I haven’t a clue”? If you are sitting there thinking WTF then you should give it a listen.

Who’s right? Jeremy Paxman interviews the pope, the chief rabbi, the archbishop of canterbury and osama bin laden
and the companion show,
Whose God is it anyway?
The Original Glastonbury Festival. Starring Joseph of Arimethea and a tree…

I have nothing to offer except my loud guffaws. To be honest, they’re actually quite ladylike laughs, but I love the word guffaw.

Oh my god, how on earth did you find me????
How totally and wonderfully funny. I accused at least four people of being you before realising it was, er, you.
Guffaws here too….I love ecumenical jokes best of all. We’re about to move next to a vicar….
