Tony - Im surprised that they havnt. The church can be very quick to notice trends which do not get a seal of approval - such as the playing of farewell songs at funerals and so forth. They are quick to highlight the true meaning of christmas and warn us away from the consumer driven money fest which it currently is.

I am surprised that they would allow this kind of consumerism to become part of a first communion.

QuoteMy friends daughter was very very disappointed that they couldnt get a helicopter to land at the chapel for her first communion. They had a hummer and a stretch limo to make up for it. I was disgusted, it was probably the first time the little bitch was in the chapel since she was baptised.

Did she have the head of John the Baptist on a platter at the reception?

You can always rely on the kna...Irish Travelling community to bring a bit of much needed class to proceedings. What the f**k does that priest think of goings on there?!

The rest of them weren't too bad actually and it seems that a lot of the schools are taking a common sense attitude.

The gypos take it serious alright. Did you see some of the rough b**tards and the flab hanging out of their belly-tops?

I get the feeling some of that congregation may have supped some of the devils buttermilk after the service. What odds would you get? If the f**kers gave the price of the communion to the church they could reroof the place every year!

Had to feel sorry for the wee Celt who had his outfit ruined by the Dons!

Christ Almighty. never seen the like of it. I'm in no way a prude or a traditionalish, but that was disgusting. Recession might be a bad thing after, teach a few parents the value of money. It's obscene!

Was that Miss Piggy on a large pony and trap on the Andytown Rd? Sweet Baby Jesus, have these people no taste.
How many of those kids would have been at mass the following Sunday?

It would be a brave priest that would stand up to some of those heifers of Mas and Aunts
