The Fourth Week of Silly Time

 

Welcome to the Fourth Week of “Silly Time”, The six week period between when the gifts of the prophets were bestowed upon Britain and when the same gifts were poured out upon the colonies.  This is a time of solemn introspection and reflection on our lives and their direction. 

Please open your Hymnal to page 3 and join in our processional  “O Lord Please Don’t Burn Us” Verse 1

O LORD, please don’t burn us,   Don’t grill or toast your flock,

Don’t put us on the barbecue,  Or simmer us in stock,

Don’t braise or bake or boil us,  Or stir fry us in a wok. 

Thank you for that spiritual rendition I appreciated the drone as I contemplated the troubling news of this past week.  

Now please open The Holy Text volume 1 to episode19 page 254 where the prophets say …

Host: Excuse me a moment.

Man: Dung, sir.

Host: What?

Man: We've got your dung.

Host: What dung?

Man: Your dung. Three hundredweight of heavy droppings. Where do you want it? 

Host: I didn't order any dung.

Man: Yes you did, sir. You ordered it through the Book of the Month Club.

Host: Book of the Month Club?

Man: That's right, sir. You get 'Gone with the Wind', 'Les Miserables' by Victor Hugo, 'The French Lieutenant's Woman' and with every third book you get dung.

Host: I didn't know that when I signed the form.

Man: Well, no, no. It wasn't on the form - they found it wasn't good for business. Anyway, we've got three hundredweight of dung in the van. Where do you want it?

Host: Well, I don't think we do. We've no garden.

Man: Well, it'll all fit in here - it's top-class excrement.

Host: You can't put it in here, we've having a dinner party!

Man: 'Salright. I'll put it on the telly.

Please open your hymnal to page 8 and join us in singing “The Money Song verse 1”. 

I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas
I've got forty thousand French francs in my fridge
I've got lots of lovely lira
Now the deutschmark's getting dearer
And my dollar bills could buy the Brooklyn Bridge
There is ...  nothing quite as wonderful as money!
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash!
Some people say it's folly, but I'd rather have the lolly
With money you can make a splash!

Now please open The Holy Text volume 2 to episode 29 page 76 where the prophets say …

Idle: Good evening, and welcome to The Money Programme. Tonight on The Money Programme, we're going to look at money. Lots of it. On film, and in the studio. Some of it in nice piles, others in lovely clanky bits of loose change. Some of it neatly counted into fat little hundreds, delicate fivers stuffed into bulging wallets, nice crisp clean checks, pert pieces of copper coinage thrust deep into trouser pockets, romantic foreign money rolling against the thigh with rough familiarity, beautiful wayward curlicued banknotes, filigreed copper plating cheek by jowl with tumbly rubbing gently against the terse leather of beautifully balanced bank books!!

Idle: I'm sorry.

Idle: But I love money.

Homily Parishioners, recently a great deal of troubling news has come out, this is over and above the tragedy of the murder of Charlie Kirk.  Over in the German speaking areas of the Western World the descent into madness accelerates.  In Germany’s capital, Berlin, more than half of their police recruits have a migrant background and can NOT pass the basic German language test (https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/over-half-berlins-new-police-recruits-cant-speak-basic-german-officials-admit).  This news was released by the boss of the German Police Union, rather than working to changing their hiring practices, the German Authorities are working to silence the Union Boss!  Meanwhile in Austria, their court system has decided to officially recognize “Sharia Law” as binding in private contracts (https://brusselssignal.eu/2025/08/austrian-court-allows-use-of-islamic-sharia-law-in-private-contracts/).  Of course since arranged marriages for “child brides” count as a private contract in Sharia Law, there is no opportunity for this to be abused. 

Continuing in Austria it was recently admitted n government statistics that the “refugee” women are out birthing the native born women nearly 3:1 (https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/birth-rate-among-refugee-women-austria-nearly-triple-native-born-austrians).  Obviously there is no “Replacement” going on here.  As a good friend of mine remarked this week, “I do hope that Angela Merkel will enjoy the treatment she will receive at the hands of her Muslim dotage center attendants. 

Wrapping up in that once Germanic nation of Great Britain, a member of Parliament recently warned of the dangers of illegal in Britain (https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/mp-warns-uk-faces-invasion-our-culture-medieval-muslim-men).  I am surprised that Lord Starmer’s goon squad has not arrested the politician yet, but then this particular member of Parliament is a woman who has been attacked by illegals on the streets of London, so perhaps concerns of reawakening the public outrage over the illegals incessant attacks on women across the Western World is what has stayed Lord Starmer’s hand, rather than an awakening of his mind to the dangers his policies pose. 

Amen

Please join us in our recessional on page 3 of your hymnal “O Lord Please Don’t Burn Us” second verse. 

Oh Please don’t lightly poach us,  Or Baste us with hot fat,

Don’t fricassee or roast us,    Or boil us in a vat,

And please don’t stick thy servants, Lord,  In a Rotissomat.
