I'm flying in

Post by Gob »



Lovely virtual tour of one of my favorite UK catherderals.

When we visited there last UK trip, we'd seen around the place, were about to leave, when some kids started singing in the main alter area. Bloody Nora, it was good. They were rehearsing for a performance of “Noye’s Fludde”, which was happening later that month. Took me back to the days when I used to skive off college in Exeter and go listen to the choir rehearsals there.

But, but, but, it's a *church,* a shrine to religion and specifically to Christianity. A building build to glorify and honor God (not to mention Jesus Christ and Saint Peter). How can you possibly endorse such a thing??

Damn, is it? I thought it was a bus shelter designed by a local council committee.

Don't be silly, Gob! Bus shelters would have six "traveler" camps, a mosque and a really grossly fat geezer living off the taxpayer all in residence with NHS-provided breast enhancements.
