Good Lord Has Man No Dignity?
I have just found out that weepingcross' bike has been stolen and you can't even see it from the road. I am absolutely outraged, not only has his bike been stolen, but he made it into the local press when his bag was stolen a couple of months ago - has society no mercy? OK I understand it is Christmas and people are out pinching presents for their loved ones, but p-l-ease, this man is a clergyman, a Gothic, and although there has been no official confirmation I am sure he is a chap. SURELY Christmas is about CHRIST and it really is in particularly bad taste to pinch a bike off a clergyman to give to someone to celebrate the birth of Christ 'here you are darling, a lovely present to help you go to hell' That really is festive isn't it.
What happened to respect?
Who is going to do the blessings, give us communion at the midnight service, usher blessings upon us and govern the great choirs of the parish as they sing festive songs full of Christmas cheer? How is a clergyman meant to get to all of his appointments and services at this time of year without his bicycle.

That said:
i) one of the funniest bits in 'Porridge' the film is when they pinch a vicar's bike
ii) maybe this is in fact a test sent from God. So said thief is merely God's instrument!
Don't like to think what WC's insurance premiums will be like!
The oddest thing is that you would think Fr Weepingcross lived in a very affluent, safe part of the country... surrey must be full of robbers, tinkers and assorted ne'erdowells
now if i had my 1910 bike, i would lend it to weeping cross in a fash!!, he has long legs so the fact it never had breaks wouldnt matter- he could have used his legs to come to a halt outside his parishoners houses, too bad!! and what is the world coming to that the thief will probally get a 50p fine if caught too!
condolences to weeping cross please

Bones, you got it wrong: It's not yet Christmas!
Maybe it's christmas for shoppers, but for a clergyman it's not Christmas until Monday night at the earliest.
So while the bike thief could rightly be scourged, he hasn't made any Christmas sin.
But christmas does seem to come earlier and earlier. As Les Dawson said, you can tell it's Christmas because the shops are full of Easter eggs.
I think if I tried to 'govern the great choirs of the parish' I'd have FAR more to worry about than a purloined pedalcycle ... As the Rector says, What's the difference between an organist and a terrorist? You can negotiate with a terrorist.
