When Ronnie Reagan was president, he and the Mrs were at some religious ceremony where they were offered communion in bread and wine form. Ronnie hadn't a clue what the drill was but the priest/minister came to Nancy first and gave her the bread. When she was taking it, she fumbled it and it fell into the chalice, so he gave her another one and then a drink from the chalice. Then he moves on to Ronnie, who knows the score now, so he takes the piece of bread and fecks it into the chalice.

Lads I had the need to do a good bit of driving today and I kept encountering people doing 25/30 mph on roads with little safe opportunities to overtake ( oh and the limit was 60 mph). On one road the car was worse than a tractor and was causing a queue of about 15 cars. Can drivers like this be reported or something? I've no problem with people being safe but this was ridiculous

Whats worse is the pricks in powerful cars who do 40-50kph on bends then accelerate to 100-110kph on stretches and you are in a less powerful car and you cannot pass but you get stuck behind the p***k on the next bend.

Slightly off a tangent, and it didn't grind my gears at all, but semi related to Treas' post. My English cousin (RC) was over one time when we were about 12 or so. She went up to receive communion, and when the priest says 'Body of Christ', she answers 'Thanks' :D I nearly split myself.

On a similar vein my mad friend (everyone has one mad friend, you know the lad who says stuff he shouldn't, knows everyone he passes on the street and always has a completely unbelievable story to tell) was playing a game of pool in New Jersey years ago against some Yank. Myself & another fella were sitting nearby filling in a couple of young ones some of his exploits over the years. Then at the end of the game as was custom over there he walks over to the yank to offer his congratulations at winning the pool game and comes out with "How are you doing?". My pint went everywhere...
