What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Tales of the City – February 2020

    On the way home from the opera I step into a shop to get out of the rain, and buy something to eat against the cold – a late-night post-operatic chittery-bite.

    In front of me are two young men dressed in much less than I am. They are the worse for wear and arguing.

    Drunk Young Man #1: Well we’ll ask someone else then.

    Drunk Young Man #2:     Yes! Someone neutral.

    They turn to me.

    DYM#1: Here man. Settle an arugment for us will you. Is coronavirus real or is it propoganda

    Self: I think it is real.

    DYM#2: Aye man. Told you. It *is* real. He said so. Here, I bet you do a very responsible job

    DYM#1:     Aye very responsible. What are you man?

    I hesitate a moment and consider how to answer.

    DYM#2: I bet he’s a Supply Chain Manager. Are you a Supply Chain Manager, man?

    I smile a smile that I hope will look like the smile of a cold wet Supply Chain Manager.

    DYM#2: I knew it.

    DYM#1: Hey, do you have a lighter?

    I shake my head.

    We are all forlorn that I do not have a lighter.

    Excellent! Although this, surely, is still the gold-standard for Cathedral websites 😉 :

    Sorry! It should really come with a warning for pets and epileptics. This :http://www.warriorbrideinternational.org/

    is also striking, but I’m not sure if it’s in a good or a bad way 😉

    I’M sure….! the bruise on her left cheek was a little disturbing too… then the bizarre tackety boots. No sound is a good thing though – from the cat’s perspective at least.

    It’s nice to know the names of the Vestry and Lay Office Bearers in Who’s Who? Do the Cathedral clergy not have names?

      Yes, we do. I’ll be adding a clergy page and will soon begin the process of rounding up photographs. I’ve added the names of the clergy to the who’s who page, meantime.
