Just wanting to say a great happy Easter to the people who provide the beneficial entertainment I need to see me through the day! Even if you don't believe in that stuff I hope that you all have a decent break of some sort to spend time with relatives or loved ones over this period.

Just brace yourselves for the onslaught of Glasto news over the next months!

Can't bloody stand them. Was just offered a choice of a hot cross bun or my brother's girlfriend's banana bread. Was like being asked if I wanted to throw up on myself or have someone else throw up on me.

This may (or possibly may not) help;

The only other explanation is that Herod was a Time Lord.

Happy Easter all.

If half the characters in the bible were time lords not only would it make more sence but it would be a better story.

Well, that and the belief of billions that Jesus Christ was ressurected from the dead this day many years ago.

If I'm not mistaken, the legend of Jesus being crucified on the cross and rising from the dead three days later was actually a folk story that has been told on the annual celebration of the hot cross bun since Roman times. In the intervening centuries, for various social and political reasons, the legend of this man "Jesus Christ" became the main focus of hot cross bun day, the Christian faith has sort of snowballed from there. It's very similar to how the winter solstice/new year pagan festivals were neatly rolled up into Christmas day so that the Romans could keep the locals in check with the threat of an all powerful and vengeful God. The Romans saw the love and devotion that the early Anglo Saxons had towards the hot cross bun as a thread to their superiority, so they knocked that one on the head as well.

I'll have to take your word for it as I've never read the bible in it's entirety. I did start reading the Old Testament once (when I was about 13) but lost the plot with it. Essentially too many people were begating other people and those that weren't being begat were being smited. After a while I stopped reading it and decided to just colour in the pictures with crayons. Yes, at that age. I haven't developed much further since.

Oh, don't get me wrong - I know full well it's Hot Cross Bun Day. It's the others and their 'belief' that I was referring to.
