He wasn't "knocking back pints" he was having a pint.
Maybe it was his day off (most clergy have at least one day off during the week). I really don't see why a Vicar shouldn't be able to have a drink is he / she wishes. |

Being a vicar or priest is very much a part time job anyway they do a bit on a Sunday and the occasional wedding or funeral and that is very much it and can a job based on the existence of a fictional supernatural being be classed as a real job anyway.

Having a drink would be okay if they were attending a wedding or something, but you wouldn't expect a priest or vicar to be knocking back pints in his local in the middle of the day. It would be a bit like encountering him propping up the counter in a betting shop. Their life is supposed to be a vocation, not just a 9 to 5 job where they can do whatever they like when they're off duty.
It must only be in Ireland that priests don't spend a lot of time in their local. As far as I know they are on duty 24 hours a day. On their day off there has to be another priest available. I certainly have never seen one in the local holding up the bar! |

and talking of cars, who is minding maria's car whilst she's away, not to mention her flat and dog ![]() Don't know why Luke wouldn't seize the opportunity to flat sit while she's away, must be nicer than Fiz & Ty's box room. |

go read up on the roles of a priest in the community before you go judging Quote:
A parish priest celebrates daily Mass, hears confessions every week, gives marriage counseling, provides prenuptial counseling, gives spiritual direction, anoints and visits shut-ins and the sick in hospitals and nursing homes, teaches catechism (a book that contains the doctrines of Catholicism) to children and adults, baptizes, witnesses marriages, performs funerals and burials, attends numerous parish and diocesan meetings, prays privately every day, does spiritual and theological reading, and finds time to relax now and then with family and friends. And once a year, he’s expected to make a five-day retreat in addition to doing his regular spiritual direction and daily prayer. Yeah, busy job

Nothing to do with ignorance more to do with having no interest and non belief in any religious rubbish.

Apart from the odd jumble sale, Billy's time in spent in the sopa world which is Coronation Street. Therefore, he is seen in places in the street like the Rovers. Now what has Corrie got in store for us fans tonight? BTW Is there a collective noun for us folk? And no rude answers!

So Phelan sees some tools that he thinks might be worth something. Does he:
a) keep quiet about them so he can half inch them discreetly and sell them, or b) announce to Jason and Andy that they're worth something, use the office phone negotiating a deal, and then leave holding them openly so that even gormless Andy can see them . . . Hmm, tough one . . .

After all the jokes on here I thought it was hilarious when Phelan was singing along to "Phelan's, nothing more than Phelan's"

Our Catholic parish priest kept a bottle of sherry in the coal scuttle.

In EE or ED would they hold the same sort of meeting meeting in their local cafe? Sally and Norris were the only candidates that spoke. Of course we had to have a comedy duo there to heckle and today it was Beth and Sean. Completely amateur and laughable but not in a good way.

Can't believe Billy accepted what Julia and Marta said to him so readily. Didn't it cross his mind that while they were speaking Polish Julia could have been making threats?
