Dateline Britian: All the fun is in Europe I'm convinced what with most of these stories of dancing, drinking nuns, Trappist breweries and nuns holding up film shoots making their way into the news from across the pond.
Here you'll find the latest - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1750867,00.html - an article from the Times Online in which a group of nuns from a religious college are opposing a neighboring watering hole, the Golden Ball Pub that wants to extend its daily hours from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. You know, normal pub hours. Apparently the nuns were recently serenaded in the wee hours by a "tipsy reveller" with a rendition of "Is This the Way to Amarillo?" Had the Brit nuns been a bit more "brilliant" shall we say, they would have responded with the Marty Robbins tune, "El Paso." What with all the singing a nun is required to do, a 'call and response' revelry could have taken place!
Will keep you posted on who wins this battle. My vote is to take a page from the Trappists ala 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.'
