alexsarllEvery now and then, when I'm reading the news, I come across something which sets off my internal loop of 'Land of Hope and Glory'.
Apparently Britons "go to more concerts, films, plays, galleries and libraries than almost anyone in Europe. They even manage to visit more ruins and monuments than the Italians."
What really seals the beauty of this, though - "the one area where they lag behind the other major nations of Europe is sport. More French, Italians and Spanish than British go to a course or stadium."

Most of my anti-monotheist ire seems to end up directed at Catholicism or Islam, but just so we're clear on the ecumenicality of my hatred, here's a brilliant article about the Greek Orthodox church featuring "a 91-year-old bishop naked in bed with a nubile young woman", nightclub drug dealing by Metropolitan Theoklitos of Thessaly, and a cleric who had a gay affair with a bishop before "leaving the church to embark on a career as a fashion designer in Paris".
