Good luck checking this one for typos.

Blimey! How long did it take you to research this, SWL? I have to admit, I have not actually read it yet, but a quick skim confirms the need for a and good night's sleep before I attempt to come any where near it Forget the cup of tea!

I would suggest you include in the title somehow that this is the 'Vatican' cafflick version of events and occurences. We have a whole series of 'evil eye' removers in Lebanon that would make your eyes water - and priests are usually not invited


Typos?

Actually, I was tempted to include the Hindu, Islamic and Jewish versions

Did you know that Mother Theresa was exorcised?

Eh? No I didn't know that..

Gawd rest 'er soul </>

A lot of the exorcism type activity I have come across is not to do with evil demonic sprites taking possession, more the 'evil eye' eliminator type stuff so perhaps what i mentioned is irrelevant.

What you *could* do ... is do a series of entries on excorcism (do five and you get a Uni badge )... so: cafflick, jewish, muslim, hindu and... what?

For clarification, you should specify split-pea soup.

I believe that was what they used when making that movie, I assume that is what you are referencing.

Could you divide up some of those hideously long paragraphs?

I thought the long paragraphs added to the soporific effect?

Well, my goodness - where to start.

You missed a full stop somewhere up near the top of the page.

I didn't know what the SS stood for in the long list of saints.

How do All know what responses to give - are we given a script

This entry is addressed to the person possessed - surely it would be better addressed to a friend or close relative given that the possessee is unlikely to want to read this to become unpossessed.

Otherwise I liked it.

Hmm, maybe so, but is still kind of annoying.

A nitpick, you should use all Headers unless a Subheader is actually called for. And capitalise the words in the Headers.

Whoops, didn't see that post, Fizzy, I was just referring to the long paragraphs.

SS is the plural of St.

It's ok, just having one of my invisible days.

OK, first round of edits completed.

When I said capitalise the Headers, I meant the first letters of the words!

Re-reading one of my previous posts, I don't know why I wrote 'capitalise the words'.

Oh, , I thought it looked odd.

Right, I've not read it - yet.

But it *looks* horrible!

Sort out those damned into and split some of those paragraphs up a bit. You hearing me?

Good. When you're done, I'll force myself to take a cursory glance at it...

But, but... post 10

Hey, you are talking to a man who knows PR here - don't let any of these new-fangled new-comers* try to convince you differently...

Or I'll set Gnomon on you...

*No offence Wyatt - just 'joshin...
