It became very tiresome.<br /><br />On the old seminary campus he'd be a total Tablet liberal but when he crossed the bridge to the lay campus for lectures there he sounded to the right of the SSPX.

Old Maw Carta always impressed upon her brood - “whatever you say, say nathin!”<br /><br />The old Carta place - Carta House up on Loon Hill - spooky old joint. “Strange goings on” (to coin a phrase of Diarmuid Martin) wouldn’t be in it!<br /><br />Strange lights visible, moving around the darkened rooms at all hours, and unearthly shrieking.<br /><br />One brave soul ventured up there one night. He had enough of the bawling and roaring. <br /><br />Banged on the Big Door he did. It eventually creaked open and this old geezer in a monkey suit peered out:<br /><br />“Ere mate, keep the racket down would ya?” said the fed up guy.<br /><br />“Awfully sorry sir”, said the ancient butler, “but we’re holding the Carta ball”. <br /><br />Says our guy, “well would you please let it go. My childer are trying to sleep!” <br /><br />(FYI - Mags has only got one ball, just like his uncle Adolf).<br /><br />Old Maw Carta - now she’s some bird. Sort of a cross between Dot Cotton and Mamamama Ma Baker (you know her? “She taught her own sons how to handle a gun”? Boney M? Yep. Her)<br /><br />Maw Carta is sort of a Queen Bee figure in the old Carta place - at the centre of the hive so to speak. <br /><br />The only one who can control Maggie Carta is his old Maw. Her word is law. If he crosses her, he’s locked under the stairs at her pleasure with no vodka and no chocolate! No internet and no porn.<br /><br />So if yizzer havin bother tell him yiz’ll tell his Maw!
