At least this Pope has a simple enough name to remember. Us terminally bemused had problems remembering all the Roman Numerals of the last one!

White smoke from Sistine Chapel means a new Pope has been elected.

Black smoke from Sistine Chapel means they are still burning the laptops and hard drives.

Philpott gets life. . . .let's hope that means life so he can have no further kids!
Wife and his friend get 17 years each.
They each deserve every day of their jail sentence! In fact, they could have given that sentence for each child and then we would never need to hear about them again!
Preferred cinemas: Best: Glasgow Quay, Glasgow Braehead, Glasgow Renfield Street, Glasgow Fort & Paisley
Others I'd go to: Glasgow Showcase Baillieston

Films already booked for:

Hope to get tickets for: Every film if they come to my preferred cinemas
