The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Oh I know, old chap, but as one who experienced the lean times of the late 80s/early 90s, a time when England could be routed by unheard of Zimbabwean chicken-farmers, I feel I must crow while the sun shines...
