It might not be a relief - you don't know who has been elected yet!! Having done a bit of digging on the favourite, Angelo Scola, one of his publications (The Nuptial Mystery) implies that feminism is to blame for men turning homosexual ... Oh well, who it is will be revealed in about 45 mins.

Gay 1: "My mother made me a homosexual".

Thropples!!

Have you been in conclave???

Who is it then? The Ghanaian dude??

Thanks, Ams. I got stuck in one of JS Bach's canon perpetuus - those things are bloody lethal!

Lots of hacked-off hacks who'd been looking forward to a weekend in Rome.... Gutted

My toast-burning days are over, as the change of smoke indicates. The cardinals are a fickle bunch. They wanted a younger model! (Toaster, that is.)

Throppers, can I say how much I have missed your pithy remarks? Lovely to see you.
Edit: Actually I could have made a bad taste joke about Redux and Acid Reflux. Luckily I decided not to go for cheap laughs.
