USEFUL ADVICE *

* Never miss an opportunity to take a piss.

The other bloggers have been going off at tangents in their recent posts with Robert in his blog - now known as 

- continuing to regurgitate the contents of his sunday sermons which are invariably silly Bible stories - parables - that are supposed to have meaning for the great unwashed or, in the case of baptised Christians - the recently washed. These are generally stolen from ancient lore as most of Christianity's tenets are and often are obtuse maybe having something to do with poor translations or having been passed through too many hands like Chinese whispers. I prefer nursery rhymes, Grimm brothers fairy tales or Aesop's fables myself.

Robert's parables have set off his grim brother Richard to write his own fables, one being something about rotten fish and bass bags. Really, it made as much sense as Robert's 'bobadilish'. Here's an example from his post:

"Jesus stopped and asked one of the fishmongers what he was writing. The man replied, "Well mate, I have a pair of balls so I call my little stories 'pair of balls'. I suspect that, as history has its effect and languages change, the spelling of my little writing miracles might change too.""

        - Richard of Richard's Bass Bag (not to be confused with the superior Rich of Basschat - see: https://www.basschat.co.uk)

I think that these guys should take more care in their writing as readers will be confused and get the wrong idea.

Sometimes you have to be hard to be kind so, in the interests of tough love I should step in and critique what they write and offer some helpful advice.
