Mabeline enjoyed this morning's commemoration of the life of Winston Churchill - particularly as we replaced the Snog of Friendship with a free-form Fighting on the Beaches. alt.worship can be so creative.
But then she pointed out that Winnie's death, at the age of 90, would appear to support her assertion that "Nice things happen to Nice People". Especially since Caligula shares the deathly anniversary, and that notorious tyrant was a relatively young man when he was assassinated.
But Mabeline's in enough trouble as it is. The hospital people were really positive when she and the NTHNP group offered to carry out visiting - especially as she promised them that they wouldn't be going around offering to pray for people like some more pushy religious groups try to.
But of course what she hadn't mentioned was that they were planning on going from ward to ward, going up to people and asking them what they'd done to deserve such punishment. The line "You're not very well? I'm not surprised - you sinner!" never helps. I tell you, if you're in a hospital ward the last thing you want is some dreamy drip turning up, and telling you that you caused all your own problems. Apart from anything else, they could be accused of impersonating a doctor.
