William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 30/08/2026Listening to my wife complain to the elder daughter about our common work-imposed software suite. It’s clear enough that Copilot is the new Clippy. The world is not better off for this. Me? I’ve managed to put some research in and detach myself once more from Microsoft as far as possible. 120

William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 08/08/2026I’ve been taken to a well known American craft store (which I won’t name because apparently they worship the Bad Jesus), and here is a rack of tribble carcasses. 020
William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 03/08/2026I have a little ritual that evolved a while back, before I even realized it. Every time I land in the States, first thing I do, without fail, is go to the airport lounge and get me a nice big glass of unsweetened iced tea. Because I am a southern man. I don’t even drink iced tea at home. And yet … 010

William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 29/07/2026Thing is: I don’t ask for much. So when I cook some fancy farm-fresh bacon that my wife bought for me last week at the Royal Welsh and it fries up and tastes just like american bacon does, I can’t help but think the Bouncing Baby Jesus was smiling on me tonight. 000

Ella nos cuenta que ese primer indicio es el hallazgo de un hueso roto y curado. Los congéneres del pobre que se rompió ese fémur le alimentaron y cuidaron hasta que sanó. 315060

William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 22/07/2026I know it’s going on 5 or 6 years, now, but every once in a while I think to myself myself that there’s no justice in a world where John Prine dies of covid and Donald Trump doesn’t.

William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 06/07/2026I’ve figured something out. Penny drop. Brits: y’all know how confused and upset y’all feel when some American mentions a peanut butter & jam sandwich? I feel exactly the same way about tuna, baked beans, and/or sweetcorn in any combination on a baked potato. 110
William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 13/06/2026Listening to news, and thinking to myself that Trump has actually missed a trick with this UFC cage fight business on the White House lawn. I mean ... where's the love for Monster Trucks? 030
William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 07/06/2026Broke the cardinal rule of preaching. Preached on the meaning of the original Hebrew word hesed/heseth. Described it off the cuff as "bloody-minded love". I personally think that was a moment of the Holy Spirit's inspiration. ⚓️ 390

William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 08/05/2026Why does every single Reform UK guy that they trot out on television always look exactly like that jerk who tailgates me in his Audi because he wants to go 100 mph on the A449? 121
William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 06/05/2026As I was clearing away the sacrament at the end of mass today, for no obvious reason it occurred to me that Donald Trump is the kind of guy who would celebrate communion with pork rinds and Old Milwaukee. No idea why the Holy Spirit gave me that. But I just put this out there. 010

William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 11/04/2026Once every quarter, I play host at an open community church event to which our local high-profile Reform UK candidate invariably turns up.

William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 09/04/2026I’m in the little book shop of the Catholic cathedral in Birmingham. Lovely little shop. Packs a good punch with its book selection. But there is not a single glow-in-the-dark item to be found anywhere. There should be glow-in-the-dark stuff. ⚓️ 170
William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 07/04/2026I wonder what Reform UK think they have to gain by sending one of their vile, fascist campaign leaflets to my dead son?

William Ingle-Gillis @padrewill.wales · 06/04/2026I’ve had the best Holy Week that I’ve had in years. Engaged congregations.
