We'll await Kinboshi's analysis on the market. Title: Re: The Pope resigns Post by: kinboshi on February 11, 2013, 11:25:06 AM I think that makes him an ex-Benedict...
Title: Re: The Pope resigns Post by: TightEnd on February 11, 2013, 11:26:39 AM I think that makes him an ex-Benedict... Never in doubt, the pre 11.30am shot is an odds-on winner Title: Re: The Pope resigns Post by: kinboshi on February 11, 2013, 11:28:25 AM What are the odds on Richard Dawkins to be the next Pope? Probably an outsider.
Title: Re: The Pope resigns Post by: Graham C on February 11, 2013, 11:30:21 AM I was blessed by the Pope, me and about 5000 others but a blessing nevertheless. Was quite impressive, he gave the blessing in about 6 different languages. Here's my portait photograph of him, think I got his good side

Title: Re: The Pope resigns Post by: AndrewT on February 11, 2013, 11:48:04 AM I understand Julian Thew threw his hat in the ring for the job, but then withdrew when he heard the Vatican were looking for someone to report into God, rather than run like God.
Title: Re: The Pope resigns Post by: TightEnd on February 11, 2013, 11:52:58 AM Peter Odemwingie was just spotted pulling into the Vatican car Park....
Title: Re: The Pope resigns Post by: Tal on February 11, 2013, 11:53:07 AM I understand Julian Thew threw his hat in the ring for the job, but then withdrew when he heard the Vatican were looking for someone to report into God, rather than run like God. I heard he resigned because he felt unable to entertain the masses in St Peter's Square as well as Julian Thew, who announced himself yesterday of the master of quads. Title: Re: The Pope resigns Post by: outragous76 on February 11, 2013, 11:54:09 AM So what has he been caught doing?
Wonder if his name came up as part of Operation Yewtree Title: Re: The Pope resigns Post by: kinboshi on February 11, 2013, 11:54:09 AM Peter Odemwingie was just spotted pulling into the Vatican car Park....

Think they're about to reveal that communion wafers are 60% horsemeat. Fk me - was going to post that on Twitter but did a search first and about a million people have already done the joke. Title: Re: The Pope resigns Post by: redarmi on February 11, 2013, 06:24:07 PM The first line of his resignation letter is:
"Dear brothers, I have convoked you to this consistory, not only for the three canonisations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the church" Now I consider myself to be a fairly intelligent bloke but there are two, possibly three words in that sentence that I don't understand.
