POP SINGER George Michael is being severely punished in Pentonville Prison for crashing his 4x4 into a Snappy Snaps photo-shop at 3am while stone out of his brains on cannabis. His third offence.The newspapers have had a field day. Best of the feast of headlines being "LOCK ME UP BEFORE YOU GO GO"!
HIS "HOLINESS" the Pope is on a State Visit to the UK. I watched the ceremonials on TV with fascination, including boring platitude-ridden speeches, thinking, "If I hear 'hallelujah' sung out in such gormless tones once more I'm gonna punch a hole in the TV set!" Thankfully my knuckles and its screen were saved when the old charlatan, who is as holy as he is young, jumped in his Pope-Mobile and wizzed off.
(Or did something like that.)
I don't know, because I fell unconscious through sheer boredom. I hope any Roman Catholics aren't too offended by my opinions. And I hope the Pope doesn't read this: perhaps he will call fire down from heaven to punish me!
ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE, I've nearly finished my little story ~ 5000 words done. That's not as much as it might sound to a non-writer. Only about 13 pages in properly set book type. Or about 17 pages in ridiculously blown-up 300-words-a-page modern typeface.
Now I've only nine or so other tales to knock out until I've completed an entire book!
I wish George would just do the time and stop whingeing! God knows he's had enough chances.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the writing m'dear.
I live in a catholic country. Belgium is catholic or should be. I am protestant of course and therefore and outsider. But I can tell you that certainly 80 % of the population is against this Poppy Ratzi and his old fashioned thoughts. He is completely out of time and shoud go to hell or heaven. Now we have over 500 by catholic priests abused ex children, and he doesn't even find a word for that !
ReplyDeleteHe preaches we should live in modesty look where he lives and how he is dressed and now you should even pay for attending his mass ?? That's crazy !!
Glad that you are nearly back and apparently in good shape.
AKELAMALU: the papers say he's been whingeing (and crying) but he did drop the appeal that would have got him out early on bail. Possibly because the chances of overall success were slim, meaning even if he'd got out after three days, he'd have been back in in just a few weeks, so he might as well do the time now. Depressing, though, doncha think?...
ReplyDeleteGATTINA: paying £5 for going to a mass Mass in Hyde Park is outrageous. They'd have got far more people there if it were free...
I liked John Paul better than this fellow. I am not Catholic. Glad that your story is done.
ReplyDeleteI've always like GM's music, but his personal issues seemed to be taking their toll.
ReplyDeleteI was baptized Catholic but never given formal instruction after that so it's not my religion. I consider myself to be spiritual but not currently practicing anything specific.
Even though I know very little about him, I'm not fond of this Pope for some reason.
Glad to hear you're story is almost completed!
I actually know one of the coppers that "nicked" Mr Micheal :-0
