james’ baptism
we were privaledged enough to attend nephew James’ baptism yesterday. It was a very jolly day and much fun was had.
james’ new godfather jumped straight in to action by reading him the Church Times.
and here are three clergy types. only one of them is a proper vicar. can you guess which one ?
i also got to meet the chap who took the photo of the fantastic scary hassock
blog problems
are you having any problems with reading funkypancake ? i’ve had a couple of emails over the last few days saying funkypancake was not displaying properly and/or not letting them leave comments.
if you are having trouble, or can think of a way of improving things, can you drop me an email pls:
blog@funkypancake.com and add the subject title ‘broken blog’ so it doesn’t get lost in all the spam.
thank you kindly
john cleese
on the eurostar to brussels last week i happened to be in the same nearly empty carriage as John Cleese. You can see his arm between the seats in the picture above !
bizarrely i spotted him seconds after i’d read a piece about Fawlty Towers videos on youtube. you can see his head reflected in the roof on the picture below.
i asked if i could take his photo but he said he’d rather not (he had a good excuse – and as i ask i have to accept people will say no!). instead he gave me his autograph and we had a chat for a quarter of an hour about all sorts of things (including my world of telecoms regulation !). I did give him a link to funkypancake so he may even be reading this.
he seemed a really lovely, geniune chap. i was delighted to meet one of my comedy heroes – especially the monty python stuff.
home of the parachutists
it’s a popular missconception that parachutists spend their entire life floating around in the sky.
In fact, only perhaps 84% of their time is spent falling, another 22% is spent in airplanes, whilst the remaing minus 6% is spent on the ground in homes such as this.
