minstrlmummr: Line from Wonder Woman movie:  "What I do is not up to you." (Default)
 Dear Diary, today I learned about a church bell-ringing pattern (???) called changeringing, which by a BBC radio 4 listener, was recently described thus:

"If it's a Sunday, then just before the shipping forecast they announce something like this:

'And now it's time for Bells on Sunday. Come with us to the little country church of St. Cheesemite's in the peaceful village of Sodomy-under-Eaves, where the St. Cheesemite's Guild of Diocesian Bell Ringers will be ringing Spliced Jollity Major.'

And there follows two minutes of saucepans falling down a well shaft /  knights in armour headbutting dustbins."

Apparently changeringing, unlike handbell music, is supposed to sound like that    8)
