I grew up in Northern Ireland in the 80's....
while the troubles were not just as bad then (compared to the 70's) it was amazing I didn't grow up to be a sectarian twat, however it is the reason why I will never ever live there again and keep visits to a minimum. Hate the place.

Anyway, my point:

When I was young I used to be at my grandparents a lot after school. Watching TV with my grandad he would always flick through the stations and recite the phrase:

"Lot of aul' muck! This is what happens when you give them papishes a vote!'

-When he came across a program he didn't like.

Now I loved my grandfather, but it was years later before I even knew what a papist was....sometimes you wonder what happened to him to make him that bitter.

No use being so smug about it
Cameron's now proposing the Monarch can marry an RC. And be head of the Anglican Church at the same time. Because *that* won't end like Tony and Cherie, oh no.

"Oh go on Wills you twat, appoint Ratzinger Archbishop of Canterbury. What could possibly go wrong with Papa Nazi as ABC?" "Oh alright old girl, just get orf my back, Kate."

Oh, and need I say, fuck the Pope.
