Cheers Dave,

As suspected certain individuals came out all guns blazing without having a clue about the anagram. No surprise at all, and yet these are the same people who accuse others of being a "mob"

Yes it has been very funny, Guest:28 May 15 - 04:13 AM (Raggy I presume?) People have had no idea what you were on about and still accuse you of creating false issues and stirring things up because it is 'what you do' and because you are 'taking the piss'! Nice to see people concentrating on issues rather than personalities and having a good grasp of what you meant :-)

Cheers

Dave

Googling "chair isn't repaired for believer" (not "a believer") leads me to this:

But don't ask me how to solve it; I never understood these things.

You're correct Dave a chair isn't a rich saint.

I am amused by various comments though, and not just the funny ha ha ones.

I wonder if it would make a good tone wood for a guitar? A couple of lads turned up at a folk club I was at recently and sang a Neil Young song but with squirmingly awful rehashed lyrics to turn it into a Jesus song. Half way through it, my chair became empty as I decided a piss in the name of artistic commentary was in order. Mind you, it did give me an opportunity to sing Chris Smither's Train Home. Not to mention "The vicar and the frog."



Oh, whilst I'm here. I wasn't making a fuss over a post not taking, I made a fuss over two missing from different people Keith, and everyone saying it was one. I wasn't making a fuss over your over eager shouting Liar! at me though. It's the sort of sub human slime comment expected from you. You really shouldn't be let out on the Internet without a carer you know....

Musket, there is a chair designed to enable a designated cardinal to check that a newly elected pope has the appropriate genitalia but it is is not the one in which he is carried. It is only used at the commencement of each pope's term of office. (So I have been told).

I have a chair, very nice mahogany carved job. I have always called it a choir chair because it has a box seat which I assumed was for holding music. Obviously a Christian chair. Recently I was told that it is an upmarket commode chair from which the receptacle has been removed. I now see it in a different light and can no longer be sure of its religious affiliation. Life gets no easier.

PFR. I did hear the Pope's chair he is carried in has a commode fixture so the bishops carrying him can see whether he has a pair of balls.

Or have been eating too much cheese and dreaming? I'm sure I read it somewhere.

No Terribulus. Nobody takes the piss out of religion, it does it on its own without help. Congratulations by the way on your brevity. Possibly the shortest post you have given us and not a right wing website cut n paste in sight for once. I'm impressed.

Nice one Keith, calling me a liar. Are you in the chair? Not very Christian all the same. I said what had happened and I was addressing it to the organ grinders, not their monkey.

There must be millions and millions of chairs, but only a few hundred thousand Christian ones, and they are only at the table to get their stools into decent schools...

We have a very Christian chair - a hybrid Victorian Classical-Gothic thing which once would have resided in a church. Interestingly, there's a one just like it on exhibition in the Manchester Art Gallery in the Gallery of Craft and Design. Click on that link, scroll to the bottom image - that chair in the middle there is our Christian Chair.

Otherwise...

Been exploring some other Very Christian Chairs lately in the form of the Misericords of St. Botolph's in Boston, Lincolnshire; AKA The Boson Stump. The carving on this one depicts a parody on The Lincolnshire Bagpipes in the form of two fools playing cats by biting on their tails:

St. Botolph's Misericord Number 55. Pic by me.

Does it, I wonder, ever get more Christian?
