My mother is a massive Catholic
Shes been in a virtual good Friday mass all afternoon
But come 6 pm I have to go down the chippy and get her jumbo cod in batter and chips
Every Friday, as God says
She absolutely leathers it down
Its like watching a JCB
Why do they call it "good" Friday when it commemorates the alleged day of our alleged saviour's crucifixion?
Its cobblers isn't it
Last week my old dear was at mass for her normal Saturday
Then palm Sunday
Then yesterday for good Friday
And tomorrow for Easter Sunday
Her and her mates live their lives by this nonsense
I am all for faith giving people comfort but whats wrong with the odd day off for a joint , a few beers or a slayer gig
They are brainwashed
As she sits in front of the online mass she must have her book of responses , different every week to answer the priest
Its all nonsense as far as I am concerned but she was brought up a Catholic, brought her daughter up a Catholic, who brought her daughter up to be a Catholic
Me and the old man went fishing and down the city , much more fun
I used to be a catholic. Load of bollox.
Monday washing day, Tuesday soup, Wednesday roast beef, Thursday shepherds pie, Friday fish.....
Does anyone do the seven fish on Christmas Eve?
I bought some fresh cod today. It costs about £15 a Kilo. It is more expensive than trout or salmon, and don't even think about the price of hake.
But way back fish was much cheaper than meat and the catholic church made it a rule that people had to eat fish on a friday to give wives and mothers an d excuse not to have to give their family meat when they couldn't afford it. It may sound stupid today but it was true.
