Really true! Cardboard cathedral!

[Bill Taylor]

As you know, we are earthquake city,
(formerly known as Christchurch, NZ, and in that order).

As you may or may not know, our cathedral fell down
more and more in the quakes, and they are going to
pull down what is left (amid huge controversy).

BUT.........!!.......

In the interim, or elsewhere, we are going to have
a cardboard cathedral! Yes, a genuine, non-folding,
non-falling-down non-flammable cardboard replica of
a cathedral! Even the goons (R.I.P.) didn't think of that.

As the architect is Nipponese, I suspect it may be
some kind of origami construction, in which case
it wouldn't be non-folding at all....

What if it gets left out in the rain? Won`t it go soggy?

Maybe they'll use the sort of cardboard used to make milk and fruit
juice cartons. Then, so long as it only rains milk or fruit juice,
everything will be ok. Meanwhile the bells will be repaired at the
Loughborough bell foundry, with silver paper, I suppose.

(Aptly, the foundry is called Taylor's; it would also be neat (for DLS
fans) if it were spelt Tailors.)

A better idea still! - we could just have a huge pile of
fruit juice and milk cartons (have they ever tried to carton
fruit juice and milk? - surely it would curdle!), all right,
perhaps just fruit juice cartons, carefully arranged into
cathedral shape! As a bonus, when anyone gets bored
with the service, they can just snick off the attached
befilmed drinking straw on one, and slurp away contented!

Bonzer plan! As long as their slurping isn't too audible.
And there would have to be a limit if one carton per
person per service. Even so, it would be a good way
to get the bish to keep the services short - too long
and his (actually her) cathedral would quickly disappear.

I'm sure Gritpype would be pleased to supply the cartons -
even the goons never thought of this...

DST is a bleeding pain in the arse - this far north it makes no bloody
difference except the golfing nuts get an extra hour of daylight in the
morning !

And the farmers don't like it, which Sakatchewan recognises.

The farmers don't like it because the cows don't like it.

It upsets their egg-laying rhythm!
