Shyrley

I'm off to England for a month so am going no-mail from tomorrow.
Fingers crossed I find a house in that time, what with Hesfes and drinking and freinds to see :-)

But I will have to come back to pack so I'll make the SC Conference (hopefully)

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey back to my normal accent, ee by gum

See ya there, I hope!!!
Then you can tell us stories about the wild and happy homeschoolers from a
better place, who camp on the beach and don't fight all the time about "cake
or death."

Holly has "KirkElla" on a list of possible future baby names. I asked if it
would be for a boy or a girl. <G> didn't matter to her. Wave toward Hull
and KirkElla for me if you remember.

I'll give Hull a wave even if it is on the Yorkshire side of the country. Some of my family are from Lancashire and are still sore about the War of the Roses :-)

Still not no-mail. Can't get web access till later.....

Eddie Izzard, on the Church of England, says it wasn't founded as part of the
Protestant movement, it was just Henry VIII being a psychotic bastard, but
that they couldn't call it "The Psychotic Bastard Church." He ties most
everything in the world into that, but after discussing Catholic confession
and original sin, says this:

The Anglican faith doesn’t have that. You’ll never go, “Vicar, I have done
many bad things.”

“Well, so have I.”

“What shall I do?”

“Well, drink five Bloody Mary’s and, uh, you won’t remember.”

And because we – the Anglican faith has a lack of – had a lack of
principles for a long time. You can’t get really headstrong about it.

[then there's some stuff about jihads]

You can’t do that in Church of England. You can’t say, “You must have tea
and cake with the Vicar, or you die!” You can’t have extreme points of view,
you know. The Spanish Inquisition wouldn’t have worked with Church of
England. “Talk! Will you talk!”

“But it hurts!”

“Well, loosen it up a bit, will you? Fine…”

Cause that’s what it would be. “Tea and cake or death? Tea and cake or
death? Tea and cake or death!”

Students would be, “Tea and cake or death! Tea and cake or death! Little Red
Cookbook! Little Red Cookbook!”

“Cake or death?” That’s a pretty easy question. Everybody – anyone could
answer that. “Cake or death?”

“Uhh, cake please.”

“Very well! Give him cake!”

“Oh, thanks very much. It’s very nice.”

“You! Cake or death?”

“Uh, cake for me, too, please.”

“Very well! Give him cake, too! We’re gonna run out of cake at this rate.
You! Cake or death?”
----------------------------------

SO...Have fun, Shyrley! Instead of being surrounded by the paranoid and
hostile homeschool-crazed American sects, you're off to the much safer
tea-and-cake-with-the-vicar land.

Very true about Henry VIII and the founding of the CoE. He wanted a divorce or an annulment - couldn't get one - so he broke w/ Rome and started his own church. The persecution of Catholics that followed were because Catholics had to swear to him (Henry) that he was the rep of Christ and not the pope in Rome.
Very spoiled man.
Very skewed view of the world.
