RIP Frank Kelly, best known as Father Jack from "Father Ted"

As well playing Labour leader John Smith, Frank Kelly's Jeremy Corbyn was coming on as well

My aunt used to work at a catholic monastery, and apparently when Father Ted was first on, all the monks would gather in the TV room to watch it and piss themselves laughing.

And then the Abbot would come in, with a face like thunder, and say "now now lads, no more monk-y business".

Did you see what I did there?

A friend of one of my cousins was quite religious in a sort of hippy mystic way, and spent a long time in a monastery on an island off the Scottish coast.

There was another novice there who would have massive coughing fits whenever it was time for evening prayers. They sent him to several doctors, none of whom could find anything wrong with him.

So they concluded that it was psychosomatic, due to his heart not really being in it, and gave him his cards.

Sounds like Father Bigley, or possibly Father Fitzgibbon ("a very small bladder, about the size of a Terry's Chocolate Orange").

I genuinely met someone the other day with some hair on their knuckles, although only a stage 2 at most.

I just watched Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest, as it seemed fitting (and I hadn't watched it for at least three months).

"I haven't seen him this bad since that wedding when he went off with Sister Imelda."
"Ah yes, 'the blue nun'."

"Oh he's dead, Ted! And we'll never see him again!"
"Well, we'll see him in the next life..."
"Yeah, right."

There are loads of lovely girls in heaven...

i'm glad to read that Father Ted's humour goes beyond the Irish and the Brits!

It really does. I was a huge fan back in the day!

Do they all have lovely bottoms?
