"What the pope did for us"

Nothing. He effected none of our lives in any way. Only those damp-cheeked Vatican-dwellers who have probably never even been to a real city can claim to have been touched by the pope, literally. The pro-child-molesting jitterer has finally sodded off to realise that heaven doesn't exist and he's wasted his life preaching lies. Now our media can go back to printing picture of the horse-faced prince William and telling us how much we care he's nobbing some posh lass.

I hate you guys.

I couldn't give a monkeys about the pope. Being anti-religion, I'm not so hollow as to wish him dead, but I certainly won't be losing any sleep.

It's a cold, lonely place we live in. The only people who deserve my empathy are those close to me, or those that have a fat wallet come last orders.

Nothing wrong with prodding a chimp with a stick.

Oh dear, I have got my wires crossed.
I was thinking one was an underwater tea party for sad clowns who've all been touched emotionally by the decline of lawn croquet and the other a international celebration of the sport of prodding great apes with reams of fine crimson silk.

C'mon, there's going to be huge public apathy to the wedding. It's not a consitutional issue at all. She'll be Princess Consort, and most of the country wouldn't care less if she was called Queen.

All they're there for is to attract tourism. Any talk about the Queen being a constitutional safeguard is rubbish, really.

ha ha your a rotten piece of s***

If you can't see how they'll be major events for very different reasons, you're an idiot. One celebrates the passing of a man who spiritually lead hundereds of millions of people; the other is the opperative section of a tricky constitutional issue for the UK.

That may mean nothing to you, but it doesn't make it a "nonevent". Unless you're hugely self-centred and ignorant, of course.

I almost wet myself watching the news yesterday.
Something along these lines:

"He shouted a firm 'no' to contraception, homosexuality, abortion, and female priests - but it was a dedicated 'yes' to human rights."

I mean, wtf!1?
I left the room after that.

What a load of balls.

I don't see why they moved the royal wedding back either. Why not get 2 utterly pointless, meaningless and pitiful nonevents out the way in one day?

No, I was agreeing with you, far less eloquently.

You know he is. Especially when I wear my nipple tassles.

Was that in reply to me? He didn't do a lot... which seemed quite obvious from my post...
