    Ha ha, very good!
    Mrs Dilo, on the other hand, would have been suitably impresed by her husband's frugality.

    Personally I played safe, cleared out her Amazon wishlist.

      Indeed, I have long thought that the firm guiding hand of a masterful husband would be a proper cure for your fancy and unladylike behaviour.

      Hmmm 🤔 clearly finding an appropriate and commanding husband for you, needs to be treated with urgency.

      This is what happens when the fair sex gets access to education beyond their needs.

      One is not averse to a firm and guiding hand... 😊

      I suppose our education should stop in the kitchen ... does Mrs. Clive know this? 🧐

    Cressida's French grandmother said that if you are a good French cook you will never be without a husband.

Who Wants a Pope Like This?

By

  It amazed Happy Jack how many Catholics commenting on this Youtube video clip expressed a yearning for a pope who would exercise his authority this way.  Really? Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger just before the conclave that elected him said: “How many winds of doctrine have we known in recent decades, how many ideological currents, how many ways of thinking.  Today, having a clear faith based on the Creed of the Church is often labelled  as fundamentalism.”   Well, 'Papa Lenny' is a Machiavellian reactionary fundamentalist.  Catholic Traditionalists are cheered by what 'Papa Lenny' has to say.  An  ultraconservative despot who decides to go back to the style of Medieval and Renaissance Papacies.  Pius is done with: evangelicalism, ecumenicalism, tolerance. He wants fanatics for God.  “ Fanaticism is love, everything else is strictly a surrogate.” This speech is presented in the same spirit with which Shakespeare wrote the oration of Polonius...

Crannoggy Island - The Future?

By

Crannogs are houses built on artificial islands over water, usually with a bridge or causeway joining them to the shore. When I set up this little blog it was envisaged as a place for friends who had formed relationships on the Archbishop Cranmer weblog to meet, keep in touch and exchange ideas, share what's happening in our respective lives, and even share the odd bit of 'gossip'. To me, this was what I enjoyed most on the site. It was 'friendly rivalry' and there was plenty of good humour among the disagreements. Not 'good disagreements' (heaven forfend!) but an underlying friendship despite our differences. Some 90 posts, 30,000 visits, and 3,000 comments later, it's time to reassess. Please let me know your thoughts and ideas on the following: Has it served its purpose and it is now time to move on?  Where do folk want to take the blog - if anywhere?  If we continue, what type of posts would you want to read?  Can others contribute guest posts (on an...

The Real Resignation Speech

By

  Thank you. Walking up this street two years ago was the proudest moment of my life. A new Labour government. The first in fourteen years. The chance to change this country for the better. That's what I came into politics for. Six years ago I inherited a party that was politically, financially, and morally bankrupt. I was told a majority was impossible. We proved them wrong. Unfortunately, having dragged the party back from the political graveyard, I discovered some colleagues had mistaken the victory party for the starting gun of the next leadership contest. Look at what we delivered. A stronger economy. Falling waiting lists. Rising wages. Every difficult decision was opposed by people who now explain, with remarkable confidence, that it was their idea all along. But I know the question being asked isn't who won the landslide. It's whether I'm the right person to lead us into the next one. Apparently the answer is no. I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party...
