Why is he a shoe in? Going on best person for the job, I'd say Sentamu but he probably doesn't want it. James Jones currently has quite a high profile thanks to HIP so possibly worth a punt at 5-1

Go Dutch on Welby (75%) and Jones (25%) to win a guaranteed* £1.50 to the pound (up to £1.69 to the pound)

*unless one of the others gets it

Now i'm not a religious kind of feller but is this thread not a tad ironic?

How is it ironic? I've never been good at the definition of irony but I thought it covered stuff like firestations catching fire.

Back when I still had to go to church every week, I had a discussion with a priest over a pint. The upshot was basically that he drank, gambled, swore and smoked, in his view all he'd promised to give up was sh****ing.

It's the gambling on who's the next Archbishop of Canterbury which gets me

John Sentamu's not well and is elderly, as is Richard Sartres. They're out, although I think John Sentamu would be good of the CofE.

James Jones I've met outside of a church event and he seems an OK bloke.

As long as it's not a wishy-washy liberal I don't mind.

Ah you need a muscular Christian who can dish it out to the fuzz-wuzzies. They don't like it up 'em you know..

"And the winner in the category altar boy least likely to be shagged by a priest is"

Sound of envelope being opened

"Long Martin"

I can't decide if I should be pleased or offended

My money's on a rank outside; Abu Hamza.

Don't have a go at Sentamu - this is no time to start bashing the bishop.

Depends on the distance... anything over 5 furlongs and it's an open race.... though the hurdles and water splash should slow them down a bit.

What else can you do if you've got a hot tip?!

Would that be Holy Water?
