I have just seen on the news that the Cardinals in the Enclave of the Vatican have released black smoke to confirm that the first ballot has failed to establish one of their number as the new Pope.

When I was viewing that I had this mad thought about how the late and great Dave Allen would have interrupted the proceedings in his irrelevant way.  Would he have set a scene of groups of Cardinals playing cards, smoking and drinking, whilst telling one of their number to chuck coal on the fire to create smoke "to keep the masses happy"?

Sorry if I offend anyone by this thought, by as Dave always said, "May your God go with you"

I was just thinking about this too 
Dave Allen was great, and Dermot Morgan liked to have his own interpretation

I think, at that time, he was very relevant.

Or in a circle after some of the recent revelations.

Father Jack Hackett can't remember how he voted, but had plenty  DRINK

I still find the Catholic Church rather disturbing , a circle of Cardinals doesn't bare thinking about

It all depends on your point of view about the Catholic faith and religion in general.  To some Dave was terribly insulting and irrelevant of their deep held faith, to others like me he so often hit the nail on the head and gave very true relevant statement in the form of wonderful sketches and jokes.  So Steve the answer is Dave can be both irrelevant and relevant.

OK Lizzie.........In your original post you said 'irrelevant' when you meant 'irreverent'. I tried to be clever....but I'm obviously wasting my time.

This sounds a bit like an EU referendum. Keep voting until you get the right answer.

Oh dear, you caught me out!

Do you know it just didn't click, but it has now!

I did mean irreverent!

Dave Allen was a legend

As a  kid I always wondered what happened to his finger.

I still do. How sad is that?
