Brompton sighting

Colin Blackburn

I was watching the first of C4's the "War on Terra" series about climate
change. In it Marcel Theroux interviewed the chairman of Shell. He, the
chairman, seemed like he was just about to suggest the we all use a
little less fuel when his PR person curtailed the interview. Anyway, the
interesting shot at the end of the interview was him stood next to his
neatly folded Brompton.

Tonight's programme, about US car culture, is asking what car Jesus
would drive. It sounds like he'll not be a cyclist.

That's a bit like asking what handgun Jesus would carry.

Which country would Jesus invade? And whose house would he smart-bomb?

Having the "Jesus was a lefty" argument with the American Christian
Right is terribly amusing. I recommend it heartily.

Is it possible to power a still off its own output with some left over?
If so, once started, turning water into wine could run an alcohol powered
car for free.

And the answer is a Honda Accord:

"For I did not speak of my own Accord..." - John 12:49
"The Apostles were in one Accord." - Acts 5:12

*One* Accord? How big is an Accord?

Twelve Apostles in an Accord should be easy;

"The greatest number of people to fit in a Mini was achieved on July 3,
2000, when a total of 18 women crammed into a Mini Cooper outside the
National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, West Midlands, UK. This team beat
the previous record, set by the Reading Ladies’ Rugby Club (UK), by one
person."

"I bring not a Peacemaker but a sword", IIRC.

Mark, UK.
Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.

Ah. You were erroneously thinking of Jesus of Nazareth, when they were
thinking of Supply-Side Jesus:

How about a VW Camper owned by John apparently? You could get loads of
apsotles in that.

Mt 11:7 - When John's disciples left to report, Jesus started talking to
the crowd about John. "What did you expect when you went out to see him
in the wild? A weekend camper?

Would that be the astrologically guided jew who took over the role from
John the baptist?
