Now over to kirsty for the cake cutting...


God loves us all?, originally uploaded by bltphoto.

I was at a wedding at the weekend so congrats to the lovely couple W & T , good luck on your adventure together.

It was an excellent affair. One notable thing for a wider audience was that the priest went under the excellent title of Father Tony Parsons.

Which is an excellent name on a number of counts firstly as it reminds me that a friend had clerical acquaintance called the Rev Ivor Parish , we love nominative determinism we do.

The other surprising thing was that the celebrant Tony Parson was much less preachy and sanctimonious than the more famous writerly one, who as is the way popped up on "Newsnight review " the evening before. "TP off the telly" seemed to be wearing a fetish top similar to Daffd the only gay in the village.

Quite how Tony P still gets away with the salt earth champion of the working man schtick after 30 years is a mystery. May be Father TP could ask the man up stairs to shed some light?

You could ask the same question of Tony Parsons' infamous ex Julie Burchill. I really don't understand class in this country. How can you claim to be yes, 'salt of the earth' working class when you're clearly loaded and have behavioural patterns closer to the chattering classes?

Anyhow, glad your Tony Parsons was a nice chap.

Does anyone actually like her?!

I think she's a force of nature it would be liking the rain or the erosion of rocks I don't think it matters either way. You can't get use to agreeing with her because she's stopped believing what she's written the moment she presses send on the email. I bet professess to have loads of friends but they will be different set from one's she had last week.

On a separate, but hopefully related, tack, I was reminded today about an episode of Father Ted featuring another music-related personality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ_0nPkcb6I
