Was give a pope Francis care sticker as a secret Santa present a few years ago. I loved it!! Have a new one to replace it with, but the old one is stuck fast. What can I remove it with?

Well, he made the bloke at the tip laugh. So he took my old cans of paint. Even though they had reached full capacity for paint. Result!

@Toddlerteaplease

I've got a dancing Pope Francis on my kitchen windowsill. (A Lourdes purchase) should I move him to the car?
Nah! You definitely need a Buddy Christ bobble head. It’s from the Kevin Smith film Dogma and might make your Archbishop friend squirm even more 😁

Ha ha he'd probably like that. His waving pope is not as good as my dancing one.

Yeah! Think it has to be the dancing Pope then.

Now theres a sentence I never thought I’d write 🤣

Nooooooo! I've just put the car through the car wash and he is damaged. Sad

You need a back up sticker in reserve. I can see fold lines on the sticker. Flatten the back up purchased asap. We have an old Atlas we use for this sort of thing. You need to use some water and a spot of fairy in a trigger bottle to apply Papa to the window and give a way to position perfectly and you then can push the solution and any air bubbles out using a credit card sized flexible bit of plastic with a piece of felt folded over the leading edge. This gives a firmer fix that water and air will find more difficult to creep under the sticker edges and loosen it.

[quote ElGuardiandenoche]@Poppins2016, the OP has sorted it with WD40 and now has a brand spanking new Pope Francis in its place 😀[/quote]

I thought of this thread as i was walking DC to school this morning and we went past a house with a Jesus helium balloon in the window.

CuthbertDibbleandGrubb · 22/03/2021 15:54

Perhaps you should have an open top car so that it is in sympathy with a Popemobile!!!

Sacreblue · 22/03/2021 18:26

Forgot all about this on my fridge

He’s a bit faded as he went through the washing machine, rather like yours in the carwash 😂

Can’t remember which comedian it was suggested putting holy water in the police water cannons & converting rioting loyalists in one fell swoop (Jake O’Kane or Neil Delamere maybe?

Filling the wiper reservoir with holy water, turning the wiperspray holes to the side and trucking along with Pope Frankie in the back seat would be the civilian version I guess Grin

@EchidnaKidney

Maybe lure him off with biscuits? Grin Or something scrapy and soap?
Apparently pizza works better
AndAPartridgeInABearTree · 22/03/2021 21:52

He has taken on almost a floating ethereal air @Toddlerteaplease! Perhaps the first miracle needed to canonize him? (I'm wishing him a long and happy life obviously but it's good to chalk up miracles whilst you're alive to get ahead of the competition)

Toddlerteaplease · 22/03/2021 22:02

GrinGrinGrinI wonder if the holy water dispenser in my church is available at the minute. The stoups at the doors are empty.

You can make your own. Just get some water and boil the hell out of it.

Better with Pizza you say ?

I bet he orders a Dalai Lama - it’s one with everything Grin

Alas, the new
pope does not appear to be as good quality as the old one, and is peeling off. Sad
