Married Priests?
Apparently a group Anglican priests think the Church of England has become too liberal, what with allowing female clergy and openly gay bishops. This practice of tolerance and equality in the church is a bit too much so the pope has offered them, along with their parishioners, the opportunity to become Catholic.
It seems to me that this could have groundbreaking consequences the likes of which the Catholic church hasn't seen since the Reformation. First of all, Anglican priests can marry. If they're allowed to stay married wouldn't that change the Catholic church drastically? What about all those priests who left the church to marry nuns? Will they be allowed back?
Catholic priests weren't always expected to be celibate. Before the Middle Ages, they regularly married. I'm not really sure why they were required to take vows of chastity in the first place, but changing the rules could go a long way towards alleviating some of the problems the Catholic church has had in recent years.
Understanbably, the Church of England is not amused. Dire warnings about cafeteria-style religions abound. Here's an article on the subject.

Every Bodie Dance and Sing
Every time I go to Seven Sisters I see this sign and wonder: How many people did this pass through before it ended up as a sign?

R is for Reindeer
Christmas comes early to Covent Garden. The decorations are simpler this year than they were last year, but I really like them, especially this giant topiaryesque reindeer.

Milk, Bread, Bog Roll and an Outfit?
Buying clothes at the supermarket alongside your weekly groceries may seem strange, or at least a bit tacky. However, most major grocery stores in England sell clothes now. I'm not talking about Asda (Walmart). These are ordinary grocery stores like Sainsbury's and Tesco.
