I like the 'Chimney-Cam' - far more interesting viewing than some of the rubbish found of the so called entertainment channels down in the 200's on my DSat box...

Yes,there are some very big decisions to made by the new Pontiff.
Does he go to Swiss Guard Tony for a trade-in with the old Popemobile or sell privately through Exchange and Mart.
I mean, you wouldn't want to see His Holiness stiffed by Guiseppe's Jalopies would you ?

LOL

I heartily approve this message

Quick timeline:

Sky and BBC at about the same time went to the Vatican (Sky dumping out of break), ITV NC followed about 20 seconds later.

Sky flashed first with the AFP & Reuters wires: "White smoke seems to indicate new Pope has been elected"

BBC & ITV waited for the bells
