Family thing
My Mum got very religious in the months before I was born, apparently, even though it turned out that she was carrying on behind my Dad’s back (well, obviously not my Dad, if you see what I mean).

I guess the religion thing must be hereditary, because I always felt a bit of a vocation myself (and once, when I was little, I even did a vanishing act on my parents, who found me in church behaving as though it was the most natural thing in the world).

Once I got into my 30s, I felt a stronger and stronger pull towards the spiritual side of things. I had a nice job – I’d followed Dad, well, the one who brought me up, that is – into the family business, which was going well, but I just felt there was more to life than this.

Anyway, after a month and a bit of some really serious soul-searching, not to mention temptation, I gave in to the inevitable and now I’m following the spiritual life, and you know what, I love it. It’s almost as though this is what I was put on earth to do.

I’m doing a lot of work with the sick and the mentally ill – you honestly wouldn’t believe some of the stuff I’ve got up to.

But it’s not all doom, gloom and ill people – I’ve got to make some great friends who come from all walks of life, and we know how to party. I mean, the other week we were at a wedding where the wine flowed like water.

Actually, we’re all off on a trip to the big city in a couple of weeks’ time, which I’m really looking forward to.

Mind you, being the superstitious sort, I’m a bit apprehensive that we’ve booked a table for 13 for dinner on the Thursday, although my mate Judas says I’ve got nothing to worry about.

He reckons we're going to have a really good Friday, too.

I doubt this...
Hi My name's Thomas, may I come to your dinner party?

Of course you can, but...
... keep your hands to yourself this time.

I don't want you sticking your fingers into my bodily orifices again just because your brain can't cope with what your eyes are telling you.

You don't need a ticket
But if you could bring some bread and wine - red, preferably - I have this really neat trick I'm working on...
