THIS WEEKEND IS SACRED
It is All SOULS WEEKEND and the damned shops are closed.
We had already suffered ALL SAINTS DAY and now ALL SOULS DAY is upon us and the shops are closed.
But, as no doubt the Finns will testify, it is the weekend when candles are placed on the gravestones. It is the first time that Finns make their wonderful candle-light displays with the dead but still remembered.

Graveyards are not always this way.
The worst graveyard I saw was in Prague.
The best in Finland.
But the frigin shops are closed.

Are there no limits to this respect for the dead?

Ah well, here's some good news.

Mansfield 5 - 0 Macclesfield

Just when it was starting to look like we were dead and buried.

The Poles do a right good candle placing at this time of year.
Night becomes Daylight and the Wodka oils the grief.

God rest their souls but consumo ergo sum. Is that what you is saying Mister?

Jeez-O BWI, at least translate for those of us who don't do 'fancy words'
Ergo.

Ergo? It's the Liverpudlian term for baldness.

Or consumo? That's two overweight Japanese men, locked together in a wrestle.

Have you know the shops are open again.
You can relax now and become.
