Popped into ASDA on the way home for some scoff and a bottle or three of Vino Collapso
And there being fork lifted into place by the door were pallets of bloody Easter eggs
For the Atheists and other faiths. Easter Sunday this year falls on the 4th April.
That’s 64 Days or
9 weeks 1 day or
2 calendar months and 6 days away.
Bastards
I did also see some Christmas cards and assumed they were ‘Sale’ stock from last year, but now I’m not so sure.

Easter rocks! It's my second favourite pseudo religious festival after Xmas.
PC my Tesco has been prepped for a week now. If we exterpolate that means that every festival will be every day. Then there is nothing. A Soviet state. But without the charm.
Long before Christmas, mince pies were on sale with an expiry date in November.
I didn't buy any. I hope nobody did.
I won't buy Easter eggs yet either. I like them but they're much cheaper in the few days before and after Easter.
They started putting "easter" eggs on the shelves here on 26/12/09!
In fact out local shops were so premeture with christmas, that they had to move the chocolate Father christmases to make room for the holoween displays.
And I am NOT joking.
Nothing is 'special' anymore.
Any want or need must be instantly gratified
Forgetting that it was the delay, the anticipation, that made the thing 'special, be it Easter Eggs, mince pies, fireworks or any other holiday specific items.
All it does is make life increasingly more banal and humdrum with neither highs nor lows.
Perhaps that's the plan
Luckily here, they are only allowed to sell fireworks for a week before new year, and must stop at closing on the 31st.
Gorram?
@James
I realised I am swearing a bit too much, both personally and in the blog.
Whilst there are times when it is called for, sometimes it's not necessary, but you still really want to make the point.
So I am self censoring and using TV invented cuss words
"Gorram" is from the cancelled too soon Sci-Fi series 'Firefly' whose slang can be found here under 'Cussin'Firefly Slang
I'll probably also be using
Frak, Fraking - Battlestar Galactica
Frik, Frikking - Dr Elliot Reed - Scrubs
Feck, Fecking - Father Ted (Although that's not invented and is in common use in Ireland )
Nowt wrong with using the English language to its full. All those that object to "swearing" are stuck up fucking snobby twats.
Any way you are lucks. German does not have "swear" words.
When you say "Fick dich" (Fuck you), then look in the telephone book and find people are actualy called Fick, as a family name, it kind of takes the purpose away from the "insult".
