Just browsing the local news. And to my surprise, I find that my home town is the most 'Godless' city at Christmas time.

I miss St Vinny's Midnight Mass. Lots of pissed people stood at the back. Gave it the celebratory atmosphere Masses should have.

Oh well, it was a lot livelier than Exmouth, anyway.

It should be the only to have mass.

So youre number one for most godlessness, whatever that means. I would be more upset that on Christmas Day youll be 4th in the EPL standings. How far have you fallen Everton is third. EVERTON. We can not lose or tie another game all season, and then with the grace of all things holy and the power of RUUUUD there is hope and faith. Get yur priorities straight.
LONG LIVE THE RED ARMY.

I wouldn't call our city "Godless" purely because the Christians are in bad form. As I understand it, the Mosque's get a great turnout for Jumma and the Synagogues don't do too badly either. And then you have the other religions...

The statistics in the article are based solely on the C of E so it's hardly representative of all forms of Christianity either.

No. I'm sitting some of my A-level modulars in January. Apparently on their little scoring system, I got 20/20 for potential, but about 5/10 for everything else. Neway, I've applied to biochemistry at manchester, so everything may still be OK!

I'm a science-y person. I don't get these 'new-fangled' high-fives. Now leave me to my test tubes, I'm trying to brew glory!

Or heroin. Whichever gets me more money :D

I was wondering if anyone would pick on that.

A gap year is always an option to retry ;)
