It used to be but I'm 63 now so it's more like estate management/security/staff supervision.

We're considering an offer from an American couple who have a 'holiday manor house' near Bath.

They can only be there 3 months a year so it could be a nice job at our time of life ;)

Tell the other bloke you'll do the one in the south of France only.

Provence is beautiful.

I seem to recall he enjoyed a nip. We had our reception at the Stella Maris Club (Ralphy Jobes presiding) & Fr. Haverty was invited. Priests often don't, or put in a cameo appearance, but he dipped his (sanctified) breed & I was well chuffed that he did.

He was a lovely, lovely man. I've told this before, but I had to have a meeting with him to satisfy him I wasn't a devil worshipper & agree that any offspring we might be lucky enough to have would be brought up as Catholics. The meeting was scheduled for 10 minutes. Over an hour later my wife & her family were ashen wondering what I'd been saying to him, only to find we'd put the basics to bed after 5 minutes & spent the next 55 discussing The Lads. Yes, a very nice man. True gentleman.

Class. Possibly explains why you took holy orders & rose to your exalted position as Prince Bishop.
 
Just think we nearly go George Reynolds.

There is a preview going on in the Newcastle thread with Fitzgerald when we get taken over and especially when we start to play well and move up the leagues it will increase 100x

I hope Samaritans put on staff on overtime when it happens.

I had the same conversation with Father Kennedy at St Annes. We had to get married early as SAFC were at home and he never turned up for the meal (he said he couldn't come but wifes folks insisted a place was set for him) as he said he liked to have a pint before the match with his mates.
