Strange you should come up with that. Many moons past when I last saw school chaplain (Rev. Challis - great name for a Christ shaman, recently became 'late' I regret) he greeted me just like that "Ah, David. Still a heathen?".

My post however was prompted by the thought that calamity around a festival must be worse for those who 'owned' the festival. Rather than to poke fun of any particular superstition. I am jealous of the comfort they give. Just not the intellectual canon.

(I am procuring the birds for M'Lady, to whose table I am invited. They will not be coming from across the road!).
