When Jesus came to Chelsea: Simon J blog

Hi and thanks for landing here. It might seem a bit backward, but I decided to start blogging only because I've been enjoying Twitter so much. While I love the 140 character limit of tweets, I realised that a blog would give me a place where I could have the luxury of saying a bit more. I've also set up here because I have a blogging project in mind... but more on that later.

Right now my face is stuck in the following books...

When Jesus came to Chelsea

Posted on 22 May 2012, 7:54

Oh dear… there’s trouble in Chelsea. Or to be more precise, in Made in Chelsea, E4’s fake reality TV show. Jamie has been betrayed by his best mate Spencer, who knocked off his girl while they were both in Dubai. Jamie’s in a state of emotional collapse when his other mate, Francis, calls round with 12 cans of beer and an oven-ready sermon.

Here’s the dialogue (see it on the 4OD website, starting at 15:55)...



	Francis: You know, look… when I’m, you know, trying to deal with betrayal, I think of what Jesus would do. Jamie looks incredulous. Francis: Jesus was kind of like a superhero, you know. He just… got shit done. Jamie: OK. Francis: Judas betrayed Jesus. Jamie: Mm-mm. Francis: What did Jesus do? Jamie: Forgave him? Francis: Exactly. What should you do? Jamie: Forgive Spencer. Francis: And Louise. Jamie looks baffled. Francis: You don’t want to forgive Louise? Jamie: No!!! Francis thinks for a bit. Francis: I don’t know if Jesus would only forgive Spencer, though.

Thanks to Tali Garan (my daughter), who pointed me to this. ‘Best religious chat I’ve heard in a while,’ she said. Must run in the family, spotting religious comedy as good as this.
