hah! thought it was creeping Moses.
Probably all that sneaking around, trying to catch folk at home and proselytising to the unconverted.

I've not heard that one for a long time. My mum used to say it when referring to a bloke in my dad's pool team.
He looked like Jesus but was older and had a limp.

No, it's 'Jesus Creepers'. Trust me. I'm a doctor.

But what kind of doctor are you, Talkemada???

Why, a Doctor of Luurve, of course....

from Google Images when i typed in creeping jesus:

and from Wiki

Creeping Jesus is a Hiberno-English term, originally used derogatively, to describe a Roman Catholic seeking to make a public display of religiosity in a manner which seems hypocritical and simply for show

I did not know that. It's also the name of a slightly bold climb at Pex Hill, traditionally soloed. In my mind it was some sort of profanity from the first ascensionist as his foot crept off a sloper 🙂
