St Peter Socks
Description: The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Bath, commonly known as Bath Abbey, is an Anglican parish church and a former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, Bath Abbey was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country.
Description: Less meat consumption would mean less suffering for animals. I can imagine a future in which our grandchildren look back at our time and find it hard to believe that we today are living in a world in which we kill hundreds of millions of fish, 900,000 cows, 1.4 million goats, 1.7 million sheep, 3.8 million pigs, 11.8 million ducks, and more than 200 million chicken every day.
Description: High Spirits - Peter Plunkett, the owner of a dilapidated Irish castle, Castle Plunkett, which has been converted to a bed and breakfast supplying the only employment for the local villagers. Owing money to an Irish-American businessman, he has to find the money within three weeks time before facing foreclosure. Plunkett has the idea to turn the castle into "the most haunted castle in Europe" for the tourist trade, inspired by his mother's stories of the castle's history of ghosts. He and his wacky staff of Irish characters set about creating ghost costumes and effects for their first group of American lodgers.
Description: It celebrates ‘minced oaths’ — an offensive word or phrase is substituted by a polite phrase. Other examples include ‘For crying out loud!’ and ‘Sugar!’ Such euphemisms have been used for centuries whenever people have done something clumsy or when they simply need to vent. But why has ‘For Pete’s Sake’ been singled out for special attention? It is because Pete here is likely to refer to St. Peter. However, it is a euphemism used in replacement for God.
