OT..........It aint dull out there.....tickets please...!! ........Monks Suffer in Silence As Drunk Parties On LONDON (Reuters) - When a visitor to their island community got drunk and kept them awake all night with his singing, the monks of Caldey Island couldn't tell him to shut up because of their vow of silence. Unemployed Ray John, 58, had intended to spend an alcohol-free Christmas with 19 Cistercian monks at their sanctuary off the coast of west Wales. But he could not resist smuggling in his own supply of alcohol and, having enjoyed a festive drink or two, started a solo midnight performance of his favorite Christmas carols. Abbot Father Daniel Van Santvoort said on Thursday: ``He was up all night making a terrible racket. We observe a vow of silence but it wasn't a very silent night even if it was Christmas. ``We couldn't tell him to hush so I'm afraid some of us had very little peace that night. All we could do was lie in our beds and cover our ears.' The Roman Catholic monks observe a strict rule of silence for 12 hours every night. John was asked to leave the island the next day but he continued his binge on the mainland where police found him collapsed on a railway line. Magistrates fined him 50 pounds ($80) for being drunk and disorderly.
