This Just In!




Thursday’s Guardian carries two stories which may appeal to those of you with an English sense of humor. One is an account of examples of outrageously rude behavior by clergy and communicants of the Church of England recorded by the Church Times.

The other is about a rather wacky proposal by the British government in 1975 to raise civilian morale in Northern Ireland. So what’s new? Aren’t governments always coming up with wacky proposals. Well, yes, but they’re not always as wacky as this one. Nor, one might add, as harmless.
