      Red shoes may be worn by anyone sitting in the nave. Those at the sharp end know the rules.

      An exemption may be made for serving popes.

    Popes may wear red shoes at the sharp end. Wannabe popes can’t.

    It is really that simple.

    Kelvin is not wearing a kilt.

    Kilts, however, may be worn.

    I’m sure I heard a rendition in Elvish. Perhaps it was Klingon, but it was very loud.

    I did not attempt the Doric.

      Elves, Klingons, Doric speakers.

      All are welcome in this place.

  • Predictions 2021 – How did I do?

    Time to see how I did with my predictions at the start of this year. Boris Johnson will achieve his longstanding ambition to become a former Prime Minister.

    One of the odd features of coronavirus time for me has been vivid dreams and disturbed sleep. I know that I’m not alone in this, I’ve heard others speak about it too.
