The Knights Templar are back.
They’ve got an ad in The Daily Telegraph, demanding the formal restoration of the order. The last time anyone heard from them was in 1314, when their grand master was burned at the stake. Apparently they’re represented by a West London accountant who also does the books for the Wiggles. Patrick Barkham investigates. First the Ark of the Covenant is reportedly found, then the Templars—supposedly the keepers of the Holy Grail—allegedly resurface. Funny these news should emerge on the year of a new Indiana Jones movie.Â

As long as they come with the Knights who until recently said “Ni” and go around demanding shrubbery, by all means…

What’s next — an online petition to the Pope to revive The Crusades?

At least I think they could order shrubbery and coconuts through the internet now instead of having those things carried by swallows.
