| And the Friars Habit... I would like to propose the
following names for the new beer: Cheers! N. Andrew Wickham |
God the Avenger? "Zap" the Queen? Destroy the House of Commons? Are these the acts of some international terrorist? No Puckering, this is what a caring God should do, if you take your lead from Upper Puckering Parish Church vicar Nigel Banks. For myself, I prefer to spend my Sunday mornings with a kinder Creator, and my money elsewhere. Mrs. Nigel Morcombe |
A Heady Mix Dear Sirs: My suggestion for a name for the new brew to support the restoration of the church is in honor of the Reverend and the favorite sport of our Tuesday night gang at the Idiot. I recommend that the new name for the beer be TheFlatulent Friar. Thank you for your kind consideration of this suggestion. |
Hear, hear, Mrs. Cobham! It's about time someone took on the anti-animal media! How would the editors of the Gazette like to be hounded by rabid weasels or smashed up against the wall of a public loo by Mrs. Morcombe's handbag? To some of us that sounds like a wonderful suggestion. Where is the responsible pro-animal coverage that Puckering deserves? It is surely not from the Gazette! Three cheers for Louise Cobham!

Defaced but Chaste?
Through the grace of God, St. Christina survived being torched in a furnace for 5 days,
so if the patrons of your pub, through the grace of God, can survive 5 Flaming Monks,
perhaps a pint of St. Christina Ale could be their
"heavenly" reward. Or you could name it "The Burning Nun."
If this isn't quite what you were after, there are many nice,
gory stories associated with Sainthood that might assist you in finding a solid brew name
with a monastic bent. Antiquity seems to have been especially harsh on women who
refused to succumb to the pleasures of the flesh. Must be a good name in there
somewhere..."The Toasting Tease?" "Defaced but
Chaste?"
Best of luck.

A Spirit of Redemption?
I take this opportunity to offer my recommendation for a name for the new beer to be sold at the Village Idiot. In light of the restorative cause of the fundraiser, and the heady nature of Friary Ales' fine products, I believe a suitable name for the new products would be Redeeming Spirit. Image sitting down to a half-pint of Redeeming Spirit ... Now if only they could bottle it.
Thank you for your consideration.
Your most humble servant,
Fr. McGintus Hoole
