BLACK IS THE NEW ORANGE


blacked
verb

refuse to handle (goods), undertake (work), or have dealings with (a person or business) as a way of taking industrial action.


*****************

Whatever happened to Father Orange?


There was a time when Robert banged on about him weekly or at least regularly, reposting his sermons and other things said from the pulpit (as per that particular week's Vatican propaganda instructions).

Recently Father Orange seems to have been 'blacked' with Robert skiving off to Feilding on the weekends instead of frequenting poor old Orange's Mass.

I wonder if Father Orange misses Robert?
Maybe not as he is a pretty good artist and has his painting to keep him occupied.



I'm sure that the person who has been able to snaffle Robert's favourite spot at Mass - up the back in the comfy chair next to the statue of the Virgin Mary - doesn't miss Robert either.

Who will run the Church shop though?

There's a Father White in the Wairarapa if that helps.
