Would that do?<br /><br />Thanks for clearing up the identity of the Cure of Arse.

I might be able to inspire them to help get him into office. He sounds like a natural! Of course, I'll be writing a book all about it, to be published a few years after the fact, and I'll expect a cut. But I DO NOT want to be put up at the Casa Santa Marta!Mary Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15177771196355631149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-11124767190574084692015-10-20T00:20:20.811+01:002015-10-20T00:20:20.811+01:00Sadly, I'm not one of Eccles' readers who ...Sadly, I'm not one of Eccles' readers who will become pope unless, of course, Francis changes that too.Susan Matthiesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03507964871759902557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-56222244408914225892015-10-19T21:04:02.459+01:002015-10-19T21:04:02.459+01:00I know a bloke who runs a small coffee shop.

Anyway his family name is I think Medici, or something like that.<br /><br />We'll pop in tomorrow and have a word with him?Jacobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743062941733814176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-20294701306428639162015-10-19T18:53:12.371+01:002015-10-19T18:53:12.371+01:00OK. I am considering whether or not I am called. W...OK. I am considering whether or not I am called. What are the pay, pension, overtime and holiday arrangements? Do I get share options in the German subsidiary? If I get to call vice virtue, do I get to choose the vices? Is there a limit on the number of vices I can reverse? I insist on having Sundays, Christmas and Easter off. Is the 'baby kissing, looking sad and smiley at poor people and holding lambs (ugh)' thing mandatory, couldn't I just photo-shop? I don't want a beaten up Fiat (though, again we could photo-shop a bike or a Segway). Can I have a Silver Ghost with a young attractive female driver? I look forward to meeting you at interview (I have always seen you as Cardinal material).
