Why do I get the feeling the main thought - possibly the only one - going through his brain is "look at me! look at me!"? | |

Funny as it is there is an argument for both sides. The sensible thing is for him to not have the colander on his head and he obviously knows that deep down but is making a point. He's being an awkward bollocks basically. | |

Worse than that - the whole "look at our jokey religion" stuff was funny at first. Now on the other hand...
So he's not just an awkward bollocks desparate to get in the paper for being an awkward bollocks but he's also revealed himself as someone so terminally unfunny he's had to climb on a joke bandwagon that jumped the shark years ago.
I bet he's the type who applies for manager jobs citing Football Manager experience believing himself to be the greatest comedian ever whilst failing to grasp it's a tired meme done far better many millions of times. | |

He must be finding it all a hell of a strain.
I'll get my coat  | |

Maybe he's just feeling strained.

Underlying the 'ooh, aren't I hilarious' crap, he's spouting, is a fairly horrible streak of racism I suspect.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to find he's a UKIP councillor or similar. | | | |

LOL...I'm actually a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster myself. In fact, I'm an ordained minister in the church and am registered to perform wedding ceremonies.
Yes, the whole thing is a bit of a "joke" and more about making a point than anything, or just showing how ridiculous religion is. However, it's not the first time someone has "earned" the right to wear the colander, so I'm pretty sure he's just trying to have his 15 mins. of fame. | | | |
| Man fights with DVLA to wear colander on his head on 17:30 - Apr 9 with 11723 views | londonlisa2001 |
when you say you are registered to perform wedding ceremonies, does that mean you can legally marry two people?
Is this in the US? | | | |
| Man fights with DVLA to wear colander on his head on 17:44 - Apr 9 with 11705 views | UltraAmericanJack |
Yes, I'm legally able to marry two people, and yes, in the United States. I did it more as an alternative for people (usually atheists) who wanted something different in their ceremony. I'm an atheist myself, but have a lot of respect for the charitable work many religious institutions conduct, but where I live we are bombarded with it so I do get a little tired of the hyper-religious holier than thou types. I guess it's just my small way of counteracting those types, even if it's just a small minority. | | | |
| Man fights with DVLA to wear colander on his head on 18:01 - Apr 9 with 11687 views | londonlisa2001 |
The reason I ask, is that I cannot believe that in a country where marriage is supposedly so sacrosanct that half of the population believe that 2 men or 2 women shouldn't be able to get married as it 'damages the institution' and, indeed, in many States, 2 men or 2 women still cannot legally get married for the same reason, someone from a 'church of the flying spaghetti monster' which has some sort of 'religious' attire involving wearing a colander on their head is LEGALLY able to marry two people !
Wow - just wow !
Not a dig at you by the way - you are obviously not a supporter of the religious right ! | | | |

Hehe, good for you. If this movement was set up originally to oppose the teaching of creationism as an alternative to evolutionary theory then you have my support. | | | |

He should apply to manage your shower of shite, they'd jump at the chance to have him on board with the rest of the not-rights. | |

Yeah, I hear you! Why individuals, regardless of sex or gender, can't share in the same benefits as the rest of humanity is beyond my reasoning. In my state (Kansas, by the way) two people of the same sex cannot be legally married, but our state just passed a law that people now don't even need permits to carry and conceal firearms. There are a lot of really good things about America, but this type of drivel drives me insane. | | | |

Yep, that's pretty much the low down on it. Here is the "official" site:

Might help show the reasoning behind the creation of the "church". | | | |
| Man fights with DVLA to wear colander on his head on 18:39 - Apr 9 with 11625 views | yescomeon |
Was it created or did it just kind of evolve naturally?  | |

That 'Campus Ministers' article is superb! The looks on everyone's faces tells you all you need to know about not taking stuff so seriously. | | | |

oh the irony of the Friends of Dorothy being unable to marry in Kansas !
Have been to the US on many, many occasions both East and West but have never travelled through the Plains States - always wanted to not least because of the Wichita Lineman - a song I've always loved. Would love to do the drive right across one day.
Do you have a connection with Swansea / Wales or did you stumble across the Swans for a different reason? | | | |

The whole concept is draining. [Post edited 9 Apr 2015 18:53]

Funny you say that, I live in a suburb of Wichita actually...lol. I'm planning to move to Colorado at some point for several reasons, one being the religious thing and the other being the mountains.
I used to spend summers in Wales, as my grandfather is from the Swansea area and a good amount of the rest of my family are Welsh. Some of my family actually founded a small village in Kansas called Bala Powys many years ago. As for Wales, unfortunately, I was last there in 2001, but remember being around Pontarddulais, FForestfach and pretty much all over West Glamorgan and Carmarthenshire. I don't post much on here, but I was actually with this board back when it was on the old rivals site and my username was AmericanSwanseaFan. | | | |

He's such a drain on resources.. | |

Now that was funny...just nearly spit all over my monitor!
It was created, but the name was naturally selected by the founders...we are a strictly non-prophet group. | | | |
| Man fights with DVLA to wear colander on his head on 19:12 - Apr 9 with 11564 views | londonlisa2001 |
that's brilliant!
I have a lot of family that moved to Montana (one of their kids became the film actress Myrna Loy - she was born Myrna Williams) and also to New York and to Pennsylvania as well, although these days they're spread around the States.
I hope you get to visit again and can see a Premier League match in the flesh !
I loved the scenery in Colorado - drove up over the mountains from Taos - absolutely beautiful. | | | |

Matter of principle really and I'm fully in support of the guy.
If others are allowed to wear headgear and cover their faces for 'religious reasons' then why can't this guy? I'm sick of the double standards shown in this country! | |

| Man fights with DVLA to wear colander on his head on 19:28 - Apr 9 with 11530 views | UltraAmericanJack |
Yeah, I can't wait to move there. I run ultramarathons (usually 50 to 100 mile races) and Colorado is great for trail running and outdoor activities, and considering most ultras are mountain races it's a perfect fit.
I'd love to see a match in the Premier League. I've been on our American tours, but my last actual match in the UK was a 2-1 loss against Lincoln City...boy how times have changed. LOL | | | |
