NUNS, LET THEM out of their convent for the day and they’ll make a complete holy show of you.
That’s exactly what happened when this group of cloistered nuns left their nunnery in Naples to meet Pope Francis.
All hell (or perhaps heaven) broke loose.
First, the nuns were introduced by Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe and began waving frantically at the Pontiff.
Then, without warning, they were unleashed to shower gifts and adoration on the unsuspecting Pope. Poor Francis didn’t know what hit him.
The nuns had to be restrained by security but Cardinal Sepe thought it was only hilarious altogether, joking :
“And these are the cloistered ones. Just imagine the non-cloistered ones? They are going to eat him! Sisters . . sisters!”
Amen.

Is there any truth in the rumour that it picked up sharks as it crossed the Atlantic??!!!???
@Alan Leahy:
Yes. A basking shark just landed in my back garden. He’s a dote. I’m going to call him Blowy.
After reading this I’m so frightened I’m afraid my hands are trembling ever so slightly.
@Sarah Bullimer: You’ll be grand. Have a cup of tea and watch some telly
@John Curtin: by telly I guess you mean book and tea requires fire now without any power. Place will turn into the walking dead if we’re not careful
