... tomorrow I will breach Leviticus 19:28b but all in the interests of medical treatment!

"You shall not make... any tattoo marks upon you."

Ach weel.

I'm sure the NHS tattooist will be very spiritual!!! Rather that than they nuke the wrong bit.

(Actually if I wanted to be very literal I'm not breaching the command as I won't be self-tattooing...)

Just please tell me no one refuses radiotherapy on these grounds (cf those who refuse blood transfusions).

I shouldn't get too worried - I suspect you have already ignored v19 and worn a poly-cotton shirt at some point in your life! And maybe eaten shellfish too [Lev 11] -
I shall avoid making bad puns about prawn-again

Seriously, I hope the whole experience is not too painful for you

LOL I wasn't/am not. Indeed yes - I've often enough commented inchurches that we'd probably all be embarrassed if our mixed fibre clothes vanished. I have eaten shellfish though they don't like me much. I'm glad you avoided the prawn-again joke.

Ah.
Today (Sunday) I breached both 19b by wearing a poly-cotton (clerical) shirt and 27.
Better not let on...
