We are not the only people on holiday, apparently. The pope has got his feet up too. This is great news, since it means I don't have to read anything about the moral abyss that the modern world is staring into, and nor do I have to listen to any poorly reasoned, halfarted apologies.
A couple of things occurred to me while I was reading about his much-hyped visit to Australia recently. One is (and only slightly tongue-in-cheek) that I felt comfortable with him being in Sydney since I consider that to be minimum safe distance from the mini-Somnambulists. Secondly, that there is no other modern institution that could survive the revelation, denial and then final admission of globally endemic physical and psychological abuse of minors by its practitioners responsible for their well-being. The last act of the last head of such an institution would be an unequivocal apology to the world before it was dissolved...

Religion and politics!!!! - what's wrong with talking about the weather?
You forgot that North Rheinland Westphalia is a very catholic state.As the (never)mind police will be tracking this blog despite your absence, its likely that, upon your return, you're going to be buggered.
One liners aside, its actually nice to read some other salient observations about the wretched state of affairs with this mob (and mob is about the right word for the Catholic Church imho), and I concur wholeheartedly.
@DP - normal meteoroligical-style rubbisheee service will be renewed as soon as possible...
@UDH - Mob is right. Stands for 'Mayor of Bridgwater'. We stayed in Bridgwater on Wednesday, and they taught me a song about the Mayor's daughter. Had something to do with fairy lights and a miner I think...
