Religion – you either love it or you hate it
Francis Sedgemore, Tuesday 9 March 2010
Our Lord on a marmite jar lid…
“We’ve had a tough couple of months; my mum’s been really ill and it’s comforting to think that if he is there, he’s watching over us.”
Next, Our Lady in a toilet bowl.

Looks remarkably like you, Francis. is there something you want to admit to, some special status?

Francis, the astounding fact is that this was the second most shared “news” item on the BBC website, and the fourth most popular read as of 1:18pm GMT:-
Family see Jesus image in Marmite
What does this tell us?
Apart from some religious folk are bonkers of course….

Gareth – I hope you’re not accusing me of being the Antichrist, come to lead astray the good people of Y Rhondda.
Stuart – What does it tell us? Maybe that very many readers of the BBC News website are absolute cretins. And not just the Welsh ones. Sounds plausible to me.

Can you believe that I just found this same story reported in the Mail last May!

It’s a miracle!

The BBC story is also from last May, but for some reason it’s still considered news. That’s fair enough, I suppose, when the only thing happening in Britain right now is a battle of the egos between a dour, sociopathic Scot and a vacuous, Botoxed Old Etonian.

Looks more like a certain Dr.Thrifty if you ask me.

I don’t know. To me it looks like a picture of D’Artagnan – in Russian translation and cheap print.
Another image it causes my imagination to raise is not for this gentle forum. Marmite indeed…

Being true to his nickname, Dr Thrifty would have licked the lid dry.
