Oi, Bish... 'Er Indoors at Buck House wants a word/November 23rd 2010.

Richie - I was lying in bed reading the latest instalment of the Coulsen fiasco when Mrs Bob No 3 started giving the feisty Bishop a right good bashing. As a Thai national she has a mystical, divine reverence for royalty and can't understand the Briish attitude towards the Windsors. "Why this man say bad things about Big Willie and Waity Katie ?" she asked. I tried to explain that the fruity God-botherer of Willesden occupied the liberal wing of the C of E but of course this only confused her further and I spent the next hour or so giving a potted history of our religion from the building of Stonehenge onwards. Needless to say my ramblings sent her into a deep slumber so the next day I invited happy clappy Rev Crisp of this parish round for tea and cake to help Mrs Bob grasp the finer points. "In a nutshell" he sighed "we Brits are agnostic towards our church and somewhat catholic towards our monarchy" before smiling meekly and helping himself to a third slice of Battenburg! Mad innit!
