When our Swedish link Diocese were visiting on Friday someone was snapping photos whilst all the staff were coffee-ing together in the meeting room. I've just discovered this photo of me chatting with my opposite number from Växjö.
This is an important photo as it's the first media imprint of my new waistcoat!
For the last five years my jacket of choice has been one I picked up for £5 from Oxfam. I was very attached to this garment and wore it frequently, in 'fact' there is a 94% chance you've seen me in it (see previous guide to statistics). However I have been banned from wearing it as it has got a little on the scruffy side (actually a lot on the scruffy side) and was, I guess, potentially dangerous to wear approaching November 5th.
A trawl of the charity shops last week failed to elicit its spiritual successor, however for the princely sum of £3, this rather dapper waistcoat became mine.
It is most splendid!
Bit disappointed that your oppo has a dog collar and you don't !
Stu,
Seriously? How would you feel/react if I do get ordained?
very blessed !!!!! (Could you do confessions ?)
Stu,
confessions? no ..... that's trademarked to one of the other major High St brands
Shalom
very blessed ! (Could you do confessions ?)
Yes and that High Street brand is making a takeover bid for some of your managers ... I am seriously embarrassed as a share holder,I think I will write and complain.
Pat,
you made me laugh there

Moment of silence for the jacket - and a round of applause for the new waiscoat!
