Is it an ecumenical matter or the type of nudey thing?
Organised events and Craggy Island really don’t mix well. Who can forget Father Billy O’Dwyer stealing all that raffle money to pay off his gambling debts or Father Ted’s rampant cheating during the All-Priests five-a-side Over-75s Indoor Challenge Football Match?
To be honest, this is just the tip of the corruption that Ireland’s most beloved clerics have been around. The names of Fargo Boyle, Hudd Hastings and Giant Reed are still tainted from the ‘King of the Sheep’ fiasco and then there’s all that unscrupulous business from everyone’s favourite nudey film, The Passion of Saint Tibulus.
Here’s hoping that the Dublin Roller Derby will keep things holy though when they host their Father Ted themed table quiz on Tuesday 26th April, to raise funds for the Charter team’s travel to the Beach Brawl in Florida.
Teams are limited to four people and it’s €10 per person. Check out more details here but we think Dougal and Ted have the right idea about what’s in store :
Dougal : Father Stone’s been in there a long time hasn’t he? Do you think he’s dead?
Father Ted: Probably doing tests.
Father Dougal McGuire: What sort of tests? General knowledge?
