Transubstantiating Starman Booze


Cardinal Keith O'Brien has accused the government of redefining reality. I'm not sure what's got his goat now, but I guess what he means is something like the dogma of transubstantiation.


If it looks like a biscuit and tastes like a biscuit, chances are it is a biscuit and not a bit of bloke, no matter what ritual incantations one makes over it. To change one substance into another you have to actually do something physical to it - not merely utter magical words.

There were reports of a comet streaking across Britain's skies last night. There have already been sightings of a nude Jeff Bridges.


I see Cameron is protecting middle class alcoholics by only putting up the price of cheap booze. Thank God he's not putting the price of meths up!

Bloody militant Catholics, Cardinal Keith should look closer to home if he's interested in moral outrages.
