Ha ha! I recall the queen catching a Melbourne tram a couple of years ago. That’s setting a good example.
Love it!
On another note, I must say when I was pregnant, I rarely got offered a seat. Often the person sitting in the priority seat was either asleep (or pretending to be!) or engrossed in their phone. I always felt awkward asking for a seat but at the same time I was scared about falling or being squashed. I dreaded the train ride the whole 9 months!
Change ‘the pope’ to ‘ ancient seventy-six year old virgin in a dress who hates condoms and gays’ and you might have something
Since Pope Francis initially pursued a different career, and he didn’t become a priest until he was 33, what evidence do you have for the assertion that he is a virgin ?
That graphic is quite different to the one I am used to, in which the person on a stick looks like hominid ancestor, or crooked henchman.
Reminds me of riding the bus in Colombo a few years back and the signs over the front few seats in three languages ‘reserved for the elderly’, ‘reserved for pregnant women’ and … ‘reserved for clergy’!
