White smoke over
Worcester when Brian ‘Basher’ Bishop woke up this morning to discover he had
been elected the new leader of the Catholic Church, writes Scot Atticus.
Brian 59, of Strawberry Way, Dines Green, who recently retired after seven years as a plasterer revealed that he only entered the
competition after encouragement from his wife Janis, 53; ‘I thought
I had no chance but she kept on at me saying – ‘you’ve got to be in it to win
it!’ Brian claims his new job won’t change him one bit and he plans to continue
coaching Dines Green F.C Under 13’s in their Sunday League campaign where they
are through to the Quarter Finals of the North East Worcestershire Junior Cup.
They face second place Batchley Colts this Sunday, kick off 2pm at Mount
Pleasant Leisure Centre.

| Before Brian |
When asked about some
of the broader issues facing the church today Brian, who admitted he’s
never
travelled abroad and only goes to church every other Christmas said he couldn’t
see a problem with condom machines in Africa providing they could build enough
public toilets to house them. The papal prophylactic wondered if too many different
currencies might be at the heart of the problem, making it impossible to
manufacture a generic machine at their Beijing plant. In his first address the
profiteering Pontiff urged African nations to consider adopting a common
currency similar to the Euro suggesting that ‘if they all had an Afro then
they’d probably get on a bit better’.
