Scottish Pop Stars Fined For Attempting Non-Essential Journey

Breaking Sporran & Kilt News Just In… Local singing duo The Proclaimers have been apprehended by Police on the hard-shoulder of the M1 for attempting to walk 500 miles (and probably 500 more) to visit their family in Leith in Scotland, stopping off at “closed” ale houses on route. The identical twins, Reg and Rory McReid tried to claim it was a sponsored walk and therefore essential, but the boys (and girls) in blue were having none of it and fined the singers £65 each. Luckily they had enough cash in their sporrans to pay up. The twins are now hitching a lift home… Remember: PLEASE STAY HOME. Christine Batley. Deputy Chief Tartan Correspondent.

Today’s Easter Service

Hello my locked flock. This is a reminder that today’s Easter Sunday service will start at around 2.30pm so I have time to first have a slap-up lunch. My “house mate” Nigel Havers has promised to cook it and I can’t wait (there is no end to this man’s talents!). I would still like to receive Easter eggs and treats from you for my sterling community service, so please leave them in the vicarage porch and Nigel will bring them inside for me. Please remember my favourites are Flake Eggs and those very large expensive Belgian ones, as the saying goes a “religious army marches on it’s stomach!” and i’m it’s captain. Or general. …. Nigel and I plan to have an egg hunt this evening, so need a lot of eggs! He’s very good at finding things so I need to get better at hiding!!!!! By the way, as with all the recent services I will be performing online only via the internet. I must admit i’d like to continue this way of giving religious solace post-Lock down. I takes far less time and I’m relishing not having to deal with people in person. Have wonderful lockdown and look forward to “seeing” you this afternoon afternoon.

May your God be online with you, Cyril Knutsford. Vicar. Beckworth St Faiths

Lockdown Solution For Monday’s Old Beckworthian’s Easter Bike Race

Posted on by

I trust you are all enjoying the wonderful lockdown Easter weather and despite keeping two feet apart are in fine fettle, taking in the vapours of spring through slightly opened windows and awaiting the partaking of chocolate comestibles…

As you will no doubt have marked clearly on your calendars Easter Monday is Beckworth School’s annual cycle race meeting of the institution’s alumni. But due to lockdown we can’t have the race at the 17th century velodrome so we are going to somehow race online. I’ll admit I have no idea what that means, my Grandson Victor (who’s typing this) says it involves computers, which I don’t possess. He also says all entrants will be filmed riding around the grounds of their stately piles and their times compared to find a winner… As I don’t own a film crew I will have to be absent from all racing, which will give other riders a sporting chance. But due to this inhumane lockdown the winner’s cups and medals will stay in my possession for another year. Or longer.

Yours Sir T.T. “Wonky” Windsor. President. Beckworth School Old Boys

What’s So Good About Good Friday Prof Cox?

Posted on by

Hello to my Coxettes, it’s your gorgeous fine-boned mentor Prof Brian Cox here, and for the second or third time this week i am attempting to answer a religious question (in future let’s stick to science)… Today i’ve been asked “why is Good Friday so good?” Once again I tried ringing the vicar to get his insight, but I fear he may be screening his calls, so i’ve relied on the internet to answer this. That did throw up some total rubbish, such as it was originally God’s Friday (with no explanation why God thought to take this Friday for himself). But I wasn’t put off and the answer I thought most likely is that it’s actually a misspelling and shortening of Leftover Food Friday. If you saw my post about Maundy Thursday you’ll know that the Thursday before Easter the Christian leader Jesus had a few friends over to his house for dinner, wine and a knees-up… Then, the next morning he rustled up a rather splendid brunch using the leftovers, and the original “leftovers” name was born. It is also believed one of the dishes he cooked was a rather good omelette, which is why we give eggs… God knows when it became Good Friday (although it is a rather good day), and why are the eggs now chocolate? With in my mind i’m going to go online to order some large Belgian eggs, yum. Keep well, Prof Brian Cox.
