Your ordination has been mentioned in dispatches in St Mary Mag's blog as well, obviously! I was at mass in Lym with a C of E friend and have (hopefully successfully) explained the Ordinariate to her, and the gathering momentum. You were knee deep in well wishers on Sunday, so Congratulations! The spread for the Bishop was fantastic, although none of the dignified ladies I was sat with threw any food.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13592406521067190359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318946601530749054.post-45463728809563179332011-03-07T19:12:24.896+00:002011-03-07T19:12:24.896+00:00Ad multos annos, indded; many congratulations, Fah...Ad multos annos, indded; many congratulations, Fahter.

The ...Congratulations, Padre, on your ordination!! The chaps from the Mess wanted to celebrate your priesting, so we arranged a Mess trip to Portsmouth. The local Royal Naval Reserve kindly put us up Friday evening. That’s when the trouble started. They hadn’t heard of our signature tipple, the Rum Pansy. Our Bar Steward got cracking with the potion making, and soon afterwards bucketfuls of the stuff were flowing, with your good health being toasted, with increasingly bizarre incantations, at each round. Needless to say, by next morning we were still ‘seven sheets to the wind’. The RNR chaps had arranged for us to come aboard their minesweeper, from where they suggested we fire your twenty-one gun salute. As we were about to kick off the action the local coastguard cutter started to make a nuisance of himself. The RNR Captain explained that the coastguard is a nasty little puritanical low churchman who is always spoiling their fun. Bodger, my gunnery officer, had been allowed by the RNR chaps try out their gun. He claims that the live and blank rounds were labelled differently from the way we do it. For a bit of fun the RNR Captain suggested that we fire off your twenty-one gun salute as the coastguard cutter was passing close to us. Bodger obliged, but unfortunately sunk the coastguard! We had a bit of explaining to do when we reached shore and so missed your bun fight.Col.
