Of course Biggins, I think I know some of your quirky ways by now

You still see a reasonable number of these around. Often accompanied by a small icon of Mary (I mean, Our Lady...) or perhaps rosary beads wrapped around the mirror.

Anything is better than those wooden beaded car seats, though. I think they must have come free with the Toyota Corolla or something, hardly ever got in to a Toyota Corolla in my youth which did not one of those in the driver's seat.

I heard the man used carbonic acid to make the holes in his hands

Reminds me I must top up the car battery with sulphuric.

When I bought the car off one of my friends from college there was a Padre Pio Relic in the glove box and a virgin Mary medal on the visor over the wheel. Also loads of palm fronds in the glove box too. Had no idea the man was so religious.

I was in a cab in London a couple of weeks ago and along with the usual pics of grand kids etc. the driver had a picture of Margaret Thatcher up on one of the sun visors :eek:

I'd say that'd do more to protect the car than Padre Pio, who would want to hit a car displaying a picture of Pure Evil (tm)

thewing · 07-07-2011 05:23PM

I've have one in the back window and one in the front window. Was there when I got the car. Not religious, but I couldn't give a sh*t about them.....

Both the parents have holy Medal things in their cars.

Me Ma has a pair of rosary beads blessed by the man himself too.

that's odd alright.

what's even stranger I keep seeing Liverpool FC and Manchester United stickers on cars of people who don't even live in Liverpool/Manchester.

I also saw a guy with a sticker that said "My other car's a Batmobile" when I know for a fact that his other car is a Toyota.

You see so many of them in the States. It never occured to me when driving behind some piece of sh1t PRNDLer "Jaysus lad I wonder what this fellas other car is like?" never. In fact I never wonder if the person infront of me owns any more cars

I actually have a Padre Pio sticker on my car
It was the first thing put up on the inside of the windscreen when i got it and it will be the first thing that will go up on the windscreen of any new car I get in the future
I have personal family related reasons for believing in the power & protection of this particular saint and there is NOTHING any AH'ers can do to change my mind!

He was accused of it because he bought some once and asked the pharmacist not to say anything. I don't believe that he was a fraud.

It was actually to sterilize needles, the monks were giving out shots against the Spanish flu.

Whatever get's y'off! What does AH stand for, btw?

I have a poster of Comrade Prachanda (aka Pushpa Kamal Dahal) stuck up on the wall of my study. He's no saint by any stretch of the imagination, and doesn't claim to be, but I bet he'll give me as much protection as any dead Italian charlatan. In other words: none. But he looks like a guy who can get things done here on earth - and his track record proves it.

I often wonder why the RCC church doesn't send all those bleeding stigmatists (I think that's what they're called) to a good specialist for proper treatment - or failing that to Lourdes, where they say all kinds of cures are effected.

Because we've always been a bit pagan before anything else.

My Brothers girlfriend got him rosary beads/a holy sticker and a

it's a bit of hope they have lost family/friends in car crashes

Maybe if they focused more on practical road safety, careful driving, appropriate speeds, wearing seatbelts, anticipating other drivers actions, being aware of tiredness/alcohol intake, etc. instead of believing in a stupid f**king sticker - they might still be alive today.

Jaysus thats a bit presumptuous and insensitive to be saying, you don't know if the accident was their fault or if they were leaving the 'work' up to the sticker

This is timed very well.
Ahh we bought a car about a week ago and the f*cking thing was loaded with pictures of him. Y'know where the tax and insurance are on the windscreen? Well that whole edging of the windscreen was littered with pictures of him top to bottom.

I thought it was very odd...

"one crazy owner" lol

If you're a roight on atheist then you could get a ruari quinn sticker instead, looks the same at a horses gallop

anyway the guy was a con artist

Absolutely he was. Mick Mulcahy of 96FM got very irate one day when he was filling in for Mr Prenderville's morning show and announced that no one would speak ill of the con artist, PIO, as long as he [Mulcahy] was in the seat ~ that was pretty much the last time he was on 96FM too [surprisingly].

I've a problem with people believing in religion in general anyway, but Pio believers, I'd cross the road to avoid!

Thanks! Sometimes you just can't see the wood for the trees (or at least I can't).

(Trying my best to kick myself on the arse for not getting it).

BTW, has anyone wondered what "saatana" might mean?

medical practitioners were asked by the Vatican to examine his hands to see if the stigmata was genuine but Padre Pio refused to be examined....but why refuse if you got nothing to hide:cool: hmmmm
