3. Break into applause after Father's sermon
4. At the
5. Wear a Hawaian shirt and shorts to Mass, preferably accompanied by socks and sandals
6. Give your parish Welcomer a Maori greeting in response (it's only polite)
7. Admire Father's new rainbow polyester chasuble and refrain from asking if he has a matching maniple (what's a maniple?)
8. Read the complete works of Clifford Longley
9. Sing 'Shine, Jesus shine' as you stroll into your local pub or golf club
10. Agree with the parish council that they should organise a pilgrimage but refrain from suggesting Pyongyang as a destination
