YOU would be holey if you had a hole in the top. |

SSPX = ten pints of semi-skimmed. |

Yes Miss! I understood the difference, but chose to use it as a pun - the holey / holy dichotomy and the purity of the milk advertised on the picture of the cardboard milk bottle top. NO doubt the holey top accounts for the holy nature of SSPX. |

Shoving this topic to the top, new members might want to know what we mean by GREEN CARDIGANS Start at page one, all is revealed. Brief explanation: Ladies of the Guild of the Green Cardigan are middle aged and old women who are "indispensable." |

Cardboard milk bottle tops ....... Rose, you really must stop showing your age like that. I remember if you weren't careful when you tried to take out the middle you got an eyeful of milk. There is a Third Order of the Green Cardigan of which we have one member locally -- the Order of the Green Bodywarmer. But she definitely does have the obligatory grey suit for formal occasions. |

The order of the green bodywarmer is a sub division of the order of the green cardigan as is the order of the green or blue fisherman's smock that was more prevalent in the 1980s. Veritas Truth CARLO Edited by CARLO, Monday, 6. April 2009, 22:55.

No doubt this is a higher ranking in the order of the green cardigan. It takes precedence over the lesser green orders as the holder of this exalted rank has finally triumphed over Father (and everyone else) to ensure that the heating in church is only turned on 1 minute before Mass starts and is switched off 1 minute after communion finishes - thus easing parish finances! If the holder of the green bodywarmer manages to convince a Bishop to station a blind priest in her Parish (to save on electricity) she gets granted the supreme accolade of adding a green bobble-hat and wellies to the green body warmer - truely the mark of a parish manager to be respected and feared! |

Some mistake surely - a green cardigan wouldn't relax. She would sit up properly at all times - because relaxing creates extra wear and tear on the furniature! |
