        If only, just think of the shoes you could order.
        Would not fancy dusting all that ornate stuff in the Vatican, but could cope with swinging the incense handbag !!;)

            Maybe it's a false alarm and somebody muddled up their piece of Brie and firelighter?

              So we may have another Pope before the year is out.

              What I want to know is what gets burnt to produce the different colours of smoke so reliably, and what the hell is wrong with simply posting an announcement on the net or the telly like any other election?

              I mean, surely someone hasn't already nicked the Twitter name #Vatican?

              Argentina lays claim to the Vatican City on the grounds "there is a temporary Argentine population".

                Argentina think they can lay claim to just about anywhere though?

                Selecting a younger Pope, Would be to the Cardinals the equivelent of Turkeys voting for Crimbo
                All the old codgers would be long gone before they had a chance, when they pick a new one

                Mowgley you are so right too true, That is all we needed :-(

                  You can't even use a credit or debit card in the Vatican state, the banks have blacklisted it due to money laundering.

                    I was just thinking about this. How do you elect a pope? What is the criteria?

                    Is it whoever knows the most bible references off the top of their heads? Maybe it whoever's known God the longest? Or, is it the one who can most convincingly claim to regularly speak to the big man?
