i like churches
i like the windows
and all that stuff
if people take solace in their darkest hour with the church then it has served a mighty purpose indeed

my favourite church moment was at my wedding. We had chosen some hymns, and i was ready.

The bride was late, i (the groom) was mildly anaesthatised by dutch courage and the service went well.

except out vicar looks like a cross between peter cook (in princess bride wedding scene) and harold shipman (in septagenarian killing spree). Most of my mates hadn't ever seen him before and did the usual sniggering until hymn 3, the closing number.

Now in my past i had been an avid clubber, a few times a week for a couple of years and was known for getting my belly out on top of speakers whilst dancing for every cent i was worth.

Hymn 3 kicks in, half the congregation (and my wife) could not keep a straight face as we sang Lord of the Dance into Harald Shipmans face. He was pleased we showed so much passion, i sang my little ass off.

I didn't turn round for fear of losing it completely, but the friends, groovers, clubbers and their associated crazy partners corpsed at this verse:

I danced on a Friday when the world turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body, they thought I was gone
But I am the dance, and the dance goes on

the vision was of me at 11am, dancing like a loon across some fields by acid andy's alottment in bristol. the rest of the world had subsided, but not i - with veg in hand i was ready to dance for the world.

..."with veg in hand i was ready to dance for the world."
That last line is utterly fantastic :D

I love a good hymn.
And give me enough drugs and I'd probably dance to the Lords prayer.




Disclaimer. Don't do drugs because they are bad for you. You'll end up like me with lots of crazy stuff happening in your past and not being able to remember any of it.

it still amuses me!
I love hymns too. sing hosanna, this little light of mine, and "Lord" - good times indeed.

BGB - Good advice on the drugs. Tis a bit late for me. we estimate (number of fridays, plus a few, times by the average number done etc) places me at circa 1500 pills plus. Its been a good while now, but here comes the summer and the groove machine is looking to strike a pose!

I don't partake any more and haven't done for a long time.
There is nothing sadder in the world than a middle-aged women off her tits.

And now I am Superhealthywomen.
