The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

Father Ted -Escape from the Lingerie store
Father Ted ran for three series (plus a Christmas Special) and still rates as second only to Blackadder the best sitcom ever shown on British tv (screw crap like only fools and horses or the vicar of bloody dibley). Set on the godforsaken island Craggy Island, Father Ted Crilley (sent there for gross financial irregularities) shares a parochial house with a foul mouthed creature Fr Jack Hackett and the idiotic Father Dougal MacGuire and is tended by a tea mad housekeeper Mr Doyle.
Silly, surreal, absued but hilariously funny. Even my aged and decidedly religious parents thought it appointment television

Being a post for the benefit of Madames Nevin and Claudia, and Herr Jeating

Both Nevin and Sean have chosen to see in the New Year in the company of Father Ted, Father Dougal, Father Jack, Mrs Doyle and a host of supporting characters that made up one of the funniest comedies ever to grace to tv screen.
In response to requests from Nevin, Sean and from Claudia I present to the world a detail from my Father Jack mug, which features all of his favourite sayings. Not shown are pictures of Father Hackettt in all of his, err, pulchritude.

That would be an ecumenical matter
A bit of Father Ted, my second favourite sitcom of all time. Guess who our cat Ted is named after (clue it's not Teddy Kennedy or Ted Bundy)
