Status record

Sylvester Stallone Actor

ECHO WITH AGENCY

Action hero status poses persistent noise hazard to morning services.

Currently
Bell ringer of St Augustine's, though the ropes keep bouncing back.
Last confirmed sighting
Tuesday, pulling the rope for compline whilst humming the Rocky theme.
Observations
Has memorised all 47 bell-ringing sequences and retaught them to himself 14 times.

Sylvester Stallone has been operational as head bell ringer at St Augustine's Cathedral since 14 November. His official duties are straightforward: ring the bells for matins, evensong and special services. However, his working method remains problematic.

Monday 18th at 06:47, the dawn bell pull caused unexplained reverb throughout the nave. By Wednesday 20th at 14:15, a single rope had been pulled 88 times in succession. Thursday evening's compline was rescheduled twice—at 19:30 due to heavy breathing from the bell chamber, and at 21:10 due to Stallone insisting on rewinding the ropes and starting again.

Stallone released a statement through the Cathedral's head verger on Friday morning: 'I'll be back. To ring them again. Yo, Adrian—I mean, the bells hear me now.' He has requested the bell chamber be soundproofed and has already submitted architectural notes suggesting adding a second rope system for 'proper motivation sequences'.

Guidance for the public

Avoid the cathedral during bell-ringing hours. Earplugs are insufficient.
