My eyebrows were sent briefly skyward when I read this tantalising little snippet..

"And it pays to know that Maurice Deebank now resides in a monastery in Birmingham!"

'now resides in a monastery' does not necessarily mean he has become a monk. If that were the case, wouldn't the writer have said 'has become a monk' rather than 'now resides in a monastery..'? Still, absolutely intriguing.

Hmmm. I wonder if Nigel could provide some clarity? Or perhaps it's best left as yet another little mystery?
