I`m guessing, but think it may be a toss up between York Minster and Salisbury. York certainly has the largest individual stained glass window.One Cathedral contains 60% of all remaining British Medieval glass. Which one?

Having grown up in a Catholic country, I recall that Friday traditional well. In the sixties, many people, including my folks, abandoned chruch going, but the tradition of eating fish on Friday (in combination with milk porridge instead of soup), lasted until the early eighties. In wintertime, mussels were also allowed in stead of fish. On Thursday evening, fish vendors went from door to door to take up orders from their regular clients. Other vendors drove around the streets, announcing their arrival with loudspeakers on their van. Nowadays, it is silent on Thursday evening, as that tradition has gone.I was born in the mid-50s. Both my parents were first generation American-born and both were Catholic. Its amazing how the Church did influence our diets back then. There was no meat on Fridays (all year!) and forget about it during Lent except on Sundays. I guess it was OK to sin on the Lord's day...
Wasn't there also some period that you had to fast before (and after?) receiving Mass?I was born in the mid-50s. Both my parents were first generation American-born and both were Catholic.

Well the article itself makes the connection that I'm sure everyone made.
I guess it lingers on a bit as a half-forgotten cultural memory. "Freitags gibt's Fisch "Having grown up in a Catholic country, I recall that Friday traditional well.

The aliens asked the phallus : "Bring us to your leader!"Well the article itself makes the connection that I'm sure everyone made.
This must have something to do with the monoliths in Utah and Romania.
Those aliens are at it again ...
Indeed, it is early (?) in my life but you couldn't eat and hour before communion or Mass. My parents played it safe and there was no eating an hour before Mass...Wasn't there also some period that you had to fast before (and after?) receiving Mass?
Nah, they thought that was the leader.The aliens asked the phallus : "Bring us to your leader!"
Since he did not react, they abducted him.
I was always under the impression that it was required for catholics to consume fish on fridays (insert pussy-eating joke here ) rather than a specific ban on other meat...I was born in the mid-50s.

Nah as far as I understand it's just no 'meat' which was considered anything warmblooded.I was always under the impression that it was required for catholics to consume fish on fridays (insert pussy-eating joke here ) rather than a specific ban on other meat...
Yes, I read that too. Beavers were allowed to be eaten because they had scaly tails. So beavers have to be fishes.Nah as far as I understand it's just no 'meat' which was considered anything warmblooded.
Veggie is OK, or you could eat cold-blooded things but reptiles weren't so popular ... frogs would do.
Though traditionally people could get pretty creative at what was considered a 'fish'
it was often taken as 'anything pulled from the water' and might according to some pragmatic rulings include beavers
Guess just a domina needed an add-on for her next client, you surely know buying the bigger dildos is more expensive than the small ones and some germans are like the Scots......Well the article itself makes the connection that I'm sure everyone made.

It is fashionable to sneer at Kipling these days, but he was a very astute observer of the human condition and a writer who was able to express its multi-layered facets, in what appeared, superficially, to be over simplified language, whether it be in prose or poetry.Five years ago, 70th Anniversary of the Victory over Japan Day - 15th August 2015. A poem written 125 years earlier, by Kippling brought tears to the eyes of the aging and fragile veterans.
