I'm just back from reading a very interesting post by The Curmudgeon.

Last night I got involved in a very interesting book about Saint John Chrysostom. St. John (his friends called him Sossy) was a Catholic priest who was famous for saying some very wise things.
Here are some of the best thoughts he came up with...
- Confession is better than eating an egg sandwich.
- Jesus never wanted to be deputy prime minister.
- If you finish up on a cross, make sure you went to the toilet beforehand.
- If you cross a road and want to go back, use a pedestrian crossing.
- Life is like a dog. Pat him but don't smell his bottom.
There are violins with five strings.
The extra string is a low C string. Viola players don't like 5 string violins because they could potentially put them out of business. Viola players are violinists who didn't really make it as violinists. They are a sad breed who pretend that they play the viola because they like low notes. A lot of violinists who have a five string instrument hardly ever use the C string. Maybe their dream is to really have a high B string?
These are names that have never been the names of saints...
- Saint Cock.
- Deputy Saint David Seymour.
- Saint Tan.
- Saint Tnias.
- Saint Longcock.
Ciao tutti.

Those are two interesting comments The Curmudgeon. If you read them through carefully, you'll probably see the floor in your logic. It's pretty obvious and anyone reading them will spot it. I suspect you will be embarrassed and probably delete both comments. That's up to you, if you make that choice. Looks like a win for RBB.
Flaw.
That's okay. You don't have to apologise.
Look, I was right and you were wrong. You got rid of the two 'offending' comments. All is well.
Anyway, talking about deleted comment number two, I'm sure Robert would be happy for you to visit the church shop when you're in Wellington and, yes, I'm sure they have pictures of Mary.
I wonder what ones he keeps under the counter?
Your last comment was very rude but don't delete it!

Shit! You did!

Sorry Robert but, judging from what he said in his last deleted post, I think that TC has an unhealthy crush on the Virgin Mary.

Yes, one would think that (see the viola - it's bigger). Michael Cleveland, an amazing Bluegrass violinist, plays one. I don't know how much he uses the C string. I tried one in a music shop once and it sounded alright. It's not something that I'm really interested in though.
Mariachi bands have great big guitars if that helps.
Nope.
