So according to the priest at mass tonight the greatest family to have lived was Joseph, Mary and Jesus.

The best family we can strive for today is Dad, Mum and Kids. Other families do exist but the most stable kind is Dad, Mum and Kids.
And they wonder why mass numbers are declining.

I'm no history academic but Mary was a "virgin", Joseph wasn't the father and Jesus never held down any kind of a job. Fair play to Joseph though for hanging around and not leaving Mary as a single parent.

In fairness it's a bit like going to a Billy Barry show and expecting anything other than obnoxious kids warbling show tunes.

Other families in the bible - incest/murder/child abandonment/attempted murder
Not a lot to choose from :pac:

During the same sex marriage campaign, I saw a poster God Is Against Surrogacy. :pac:

I wasn't there cause I find the priest an obnoxious snob, a bore and not very amicable.

I'll be at a different church tomorrow morning for kids mass...tradition now and a much more welcoming atmosphere.

Happy Christmas to the lot of you!!

I was at a wedding a few months back and (no word of a lie), the priest preached that marriage was for 'adam and eve, not adam and steve'. The stunned silence in the church summed up the feelings towards that particular line.

Funnily enough, I got a Munster hat for Christmas from my sisters in law. Also tickets to the match tomorrow. I’m switching allegiances, it’s bound to be less disappointing.

Pashun and standing up and fighting. mmmmmm, turnip....

Anyone have savings with KBC? I seem to recall them paying interest around the middle of December last year, but this year, thus far, not a dickie!

Saw this on the subreddit, for those that haven't though:
British & Irish Lions 2017 shirt - €12 plus a €10 postage. Not bad.

If any of you have kids aged between say 4 and 54 I urge you to take them to the cinema to see Paddington 2. Just back from it and it was absolutely brilliant. I've never watched a movie that got a round of applause at the end (kids and adults alike).

Seriously if you have kids take them. If you haven't got kids then borrow a relations or friends and take them.

Just doing the deed now, had to head in to Zürich to find English version. Swiss cinemas STILL do intermission. Kids excited cos the family in front “have an Irish accent Daddy”. Cinema is bloody expensive here though: not much shy of 50 franks for an adult and 2 kids. It’s not that dare in Ireland is it??

A good shout anyway, my kids old man is enjoying it too.

If that is 42 euro than it is a little pricey. Odeon point village is around 35 for adult and two kids. 3d is obviously more expensive.
