Heretic! Burn him. (Outside. Or at least, somewhere with less than 3.0 walls
and a roof).

I notice that there will be no more heresy this year, but next year gets off
to a great start for heresy:

PS I'll stick to the "between the 1st and the 8th" definition because clearly
   the dedicated member of negotiable beliefs will attend the pub on *both*
   the 1st and the 8th if the calender presents the good fortune of both being
   Thursdays. I wonder if we can also redefine other days to be "honourary
   Thursdays" ?
