So why even bother posting here if you couldn't give a fúck?

It is in After Hours - it seems to bring out the inner dickhead in some posters.

Obviously it's not too difficult to bypass security there.

Maybe not enough of them on the beat.

It's the Church of Ireland's cathedral, not sure how many Irish people have a grudge against a vicar.

I would doubt it very much, travellers are very superstitious about this type of stuff.

That's funny because around a year and a half ago there was expensive grave ornaments stolen from my Grandmother's grave and others, and guess where they were recovered from by AGS? That's right a traveller halting site!

There is a difference between grave ornaments and bits of a dead body.

Maybe someone felt that the heart deserved a Christian burial rather than being paraded in a church especially as it is certain to be a fake.

Relics belong in a travelling freak show & not in a modern religion.

Whoever said it is better to have loved and lost was a fool

Wizard of Oz would be my guess,he is always looking for hearts to give away.

Agreed, pretty creepy keeping a human heart like that...

He was good in Lawrence of Arabia.

Or should I just say 'He was good in Arabia'?

No more creepy than keeping it in a church for people to ogle at !

Today if anyone took out a human heart before burial to keep as a souvenir the church would condemn it.

What grade relic was it?

Ya, just like I said. Creepy creepy church.

Jason Mewes visited the crypt last week. The Gardaí might want to follow up on that.

Grade ?

Edit: Just Googled. If you believe that it's a bit of a Saint then it's a grade one. One would of thought that Saints, of all people, would deserve a decent funeral instead of being disembowelled.

I wonder how much it's worth.... and would i be taking the piss putting it in the buy and sell so soon.

So being a grade one, does it banish ghosts and cure cancer then yeah?

It was a reference to Father Ted............don'tworry about it Discodog.

My chief suspect in this crime is the Teflon Taoiseach himself, he's the only one slippery enough and badly in need of a heart to have been able to slip in n ou while no one noticed.

As long as you believe that it will - it's the same with my pig hearts

I guessed that but it did make me wonder how they "grade" the things

I remember reading that if all the bits of the "true" cross had been put together the thing would of been huge ! Oh & apparently one Saint has at least three heads !

Maybe I should have Google'd it too...............I actually thought the whole grade thing was a piss take. Evidently not.
