    Marula is what the provost nearly threw at the person who said he was living in fairy-land?

    …it is (in fermented form) what we will be offered next year at Synod dinner instead of wine to show our solidarity with the poor?

    …it is the African fruit of which we should not eat if we want to reclaim eden?

    do tell.

    Marula is one of the flavours of jam that John Riches imports from Swaziland and had for sale at the synod. (And which KB helped him rearrange in the boot of his car for the trip to Glasgow).

    Time for the full answers, I think:

    1 – A laxative
    2 – Duncan McCosh
    3 – Martin Robson
    4 – Mario (and he was a dish)
    5 – Sheena (and so was she)
    6 – Episcopalians, Methodists and United Reformeds
    7 – Suffer the little children
    8 – Jam from Swaziland
    9 – +Idris
    10 – Pink (to make the boys wink)

    Hate to be pedantic but I think you’ll find that the answer to No 5 is in fact Vicki Paterson – Sheena was Sub Deacon at Corpus Christi NOT MC

    Ohh, I stand corrected. And I checked that one with Mother Ruth before posting the answer too.
