			<description>&#60;p&#62;Don't listen to what LB tells you. Otherwise you'd believe all wheelchair users can actually walk and that Dennis Waterman is the size of a 50 pence piece.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I thought that was the point of LB - there are no gays in Wales - I am pretty sure that was what I was told

			<description>&#60;p&#62;A group of Welsh vicars have reacted petulantly to news the Government may permit same-sex couples to &#34;marry&#34; in Church. It comes as Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone plans to scrap the ban on civil partnerships taking place in religious settings in England and Wales. The four ministers, who sing in a close harmony quartet known as Boblogi chan 'r bentref, or People of the Village, are said to be mildly hysterical at the proposals. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Talking to reporters from South Wales Today, vicar Marc Williams, who presides over St David's, rubbished the plans, saying, &#34;Not on my watch, sister! OMG! I mean can you believe it! As soon as I heard the news I texted Andi Evans from St Margaret's. He said you could have knocked him over with a feather duster.” &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;“I nearly choked on my raspberry daiquiri,” added Andi, the group’s counter tenor. “I daren’t think what they’ll come up with next.”&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The other members of the group, All Souls vicar Julian Roberts and Toni Griffiths from St Benet’s, took their outrage further when they joined forces to lead their parishioners on a march along Port Talbot High Street. Under banners emblazoned with the words &#34;Church Pride&#34;, their 200-strong congregation paraded into the night accompanied by the music of Gloria Gaynor. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#34;I crocheted some of the pennants myself,” said Julian. “It was the least I could do and I had a load of wool spare after last year's protest against the ordination of female clergy.” &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Toni continued, “We had to make do with last spring's colours, but we still looked gorgeous didn’t we girls!&#34;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The men, who are all happily married, are expected to take their case to the courts. &#34;We're representing ourselves, and what we lack in legal knowledge we'll more than make up for with our singing. It'll be quite the show, darling&#34; assured Marc, conductor and alto for the four-piece choir. “And great preparation for Britain’s Got Talent.”
