However, my osteopath, who is <i>even more infallible</i> than the Pope, says that I have to get my weight down so I am giving up crisps. As to giving up the Pope, that is not necessary because I already develop a totally new Syndrome, ADHD-without-the-Hyperactivity, whenever I see the words "Pope" and "plane" and "journalists" in the same sentence.
