More proof that Chris Morris is now writing the news for real:

"...he was seen sitting in the back of a Mercedes chucking children's toys out of the window and announcing: "I'm the Bishop of Southwark. It's what I do."

Best laugh of the week so far. Good for him.

In reply to KeithW: It always surprises me how unforgiving churchmen are, considering how much time they spend talking about forgiveness. There are calls for the bishop to be sacked, and he has apparently sacked several priests for drunkenness himself.

saw a quote from a church spokesperson in the weekend papers that they thought he may have had some sort of mini stroke leading to such out of character behaviour.

Yeah whatever !

In my eyes the standing of the C of E has gone through the roof. Good effort Bish.

I suspect myself that the real credit lies with the Irish ambassador.

Who else, when hearing that 'Thought For The Day' is by The Bishop of Bath and Wells, feels compelled to shout "The baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells!!"?

Oh. Just me then.

Sounds like an average level of alco-amnesia to me, complete with the normal amount of 'sh*t, did I do that?' bruises etc afterwards.

Hair of the dog now?
