Going to the chapel and we're going to be an obstacle on the road to peace...

nah does'nt have the same ring to it does it, The Pope, in his annual message of peace, has called for the dismantling of nuclear weapons (am with ya on that one ropey popey) and environmental co-operation (right there with ya on that too, nice white frock by the way) and describes gay marriage as "an obstacle on the road to peace" or if ya want the whole shebang -

"This point merits special reflection: everything that serves to weaken the family based on the marriage of a man and a woman, everything that directly or indirectly stands in the way of its openness to the responsible acceptance of a new life, everything that obstructs its right to be primarily responsible for the education of its children, constitutes an objective obstacle on the road to peace."

Oh no,no,no, you were doing fine, you had been courteous and receptive to courtesy. You had established trust, with the embarassing truth about catholic priests and now this ham handed segue into gay marriage - it wont do.

For those of you who don't recognise this, its from "silence of the lambs", i have finally lost it and have now created a scene in my head where i am Hannibal Lecter and the Pope and Clarice Starling. I think it might be time to close the crazy box

Also in homo news - Scotland has just released the results of a survey carried out to explore people's attitudes to lesbian, gay and bisexual people, i think the results are shocking - 30% of people think that same sex relationships are always or mostly wrong, 21% think that gays should not be allowed to marry and 33% would be unhappy if a relative formed a long term relationship with someone of the same sex. Am i the only person living in 2007? It's just really sad that these attitudes are thriving.

Tomorrow it's my work xmas do and i expect severe carnage, it's also our very early pay day so i have to be very careful not to shout out "CHAMPAGNE!" as soon as we get started, Just to warn anyone - we will be in Soho probably doing the conga down Old Compton Street by 4pm. It's also Oliver's birthday tomorrow but i won't be seeing him which is probably for the best as i am sure he does not want to be projectile vomited on on his big day. I shall be out with bells on come saturday for much drinking and dancing.
