Folks,
I was watching an interesting programme on the T.V. indicating the process of selection for the new Pope and the voting system used. This I thought was a little anticquated as each Cardinal had to deposit his suggestion onto a gold plate and then into a chalice etc etc.........I thought that this would be a good opertunity to sell / lease our redundant electronic voting system, which could reclaim some of the capital costs back and also reduce the cost of storage - any comments!!
 
Saw a programme this week which said that they have had to install equipment to stop them using mobile phones when they go into hiding to vote. They felt it would be too tempting for the poorer ones to resist the offer of possibly a new roof on the church or whatever!
 
What about a Big Brother style TV show? They could even call it Big Father.
 
pal who sort of 'knows' a bit about everything tells me that when the opened the doors on one occasion there was 13/14 cardinals murdered during the conclave. and there was no outsiders involved.
