Possibly more entertainment in Bosch, that's if you like bagpipes.<br /><br />Catholic guilt is fascinating. I always imagined that one good dose of confession absolved them of it, the priest lifting the burden of it from their shoulders for a small consideration, whereas the poor protestants had to go and face God by themselves in an all too brightly lit corner, without the support of a priest. Rembrandt is the best case in point, but there are others.<br /><br />Jewish guilt is essentially maternal, is it not? <br /><br />Sorry, mum. Didn't mean it.

Bosch was more serious on the subject, to my taste. Anyhow guilt is a subject open only to Jews and Norwegian Lutherans. I mean, consigning Italian team to hell is really a joke. What for - they couldn't even do crime on the field professionally...SnoopyTheGoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920565522498918323noreply@blogger.com
