Major Isewater Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Yep, as much as I miss a game on Saturday afternoon I'm happy that this particular afternoon there isn't one . A neighbour has turned their toes up and the Isewaters will be present at the funeral. Kick off 3'o clock . No need for sly glances at the old IPhone during the festivities. God bless her soul .

Erithacus Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Condolences, Major. But do they have screens in the churches and places yet? Or hold the ceremony in a pub, maybe? We are in the twenty-first century, after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 If we were playing at the same time as the funeral you could always tape it. And then watch it when you got back from the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted September 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Thank you for your kind thoughts on this sad day. It was a lovely service , the priest was in purple ( a sign I believe ) . Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family as they seek solace in the fortune left by their dearly beloved. I'm off to the wake now, can't beat a good wake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do in our local church up here in Swindle - a massive big screen - and the vicar is mad-keen on football too - and likes his beer (they hold an annual beer festival there every July). He (the vicar) was hoping to show the World Cup in his church and provide a bar, but it didn’t happen for some reason (not sure why - broadcasting rights or something I think).

Just like those who choose three pm on a Saturday afternoon between August and early May for weddings! Inconsiderate and the marriage doomed to failure.

I know the Rev there used to be Chaplin for the gas. We went there for an interview with him about getting married and I turned up in a city shirt. He introduced himself as Rev gas. He refused to marry us. Said we were outside his parish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to be at Keynsham. He is now the chaplain for STFC Really? That doesn’t sound like him - we enjoy a bit of banter about the football but it’s always good natured. He plays a bit too. I am surprised Bloody C of E - and they wonder why less and less people go to church these days........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
