One of lifes great mysteries...

Peyton Manning

Just watching the Father Ted Christmas Special (never gets old ) and it got me thinking. Does anyone watch mass on the telly? More importantly, do priests watch mass on the telly? I mean, I play football so naturally I watch football so naturally they should watch mass....

Oh, and just to quote the episode...

Dougal: ''Maybe he had a nickname, like Terry Wogan.."
Ted: "Really? Terry Wogan? What was his nickname?"
Dougal: "What? You mean..thats his real name?"

As I don't think that a plumber would be watching a programme about plumbing, I think that our celibate chums would be watching the opposite of Mass. I also think that they would be paying a considerable chunk of the Sunday collection to subscribe to this "opposite", whatever this "opposite" might be.

"It's me own stupid fault for messing with them bras!" :mad: I doubt they'd be watching mass on telly after doing a few masses each day.

I thought about that myself, I know my nanny watches mass on the tv because she's not able to go anymore. I'd say that's their target audience, old people.

"Really Dougal, where do you come up with them? I mean, what was it you thought it would be last time, Rudd Gullit sitting on a shed?"

Classic part where the audio system goes on full blast when your one is reading out terms such as "GLARING FINANCIAL IRREGULARITIES"

Bollix, cant believe I missed this last night, I was flicking between the sports awards and some yoke with Girls Aloud and that long haired nut from various C4 shows. ffs, Ive only seen it maybe 14 times before


As for tv mass, all the old people watch it.

Funny you should say that my dads a carpenter but he loves to watch shows about it or building, he especially liked that one with Duncan years ago.

I know a mongolian guy who had recently converted to Christianity, he worked late on saturday night and was having trouble getting to mass on sunday morning, when he discovered they showed mass on tv, he was over the moon, he didn't even have to get out of bed!!

He could be one of Duncan's consultants, unless he really isn't a carpenter. You should follow him, find out what he's really up to when he goes to "work".;)

Fr, Fitzpatrick: And this is the last known photo of Herr Hitler; he's signing a few death warrants there.
Ted: Funny how you get more right-wing as you get older!

Funny you should mention that, but I'd say no, not in a million f*cking years:D

I don't think it's in the christmas special, but this is one of my favourites:

Ted: Come on, Dougal, switch the television off. Chewing gum for the eyes!
Dougal: No thanks, Ted.
