And when you're stood at the pearly gates in a liverpool shirt with a life of immorality and sin behind you don't expect the gates to open up.

We are coming up to a religious festival here in Germany which is called Oktoberfest, held every year in Munich. I think it usually involves drinking as much beer as you possibly can over several days until you finish up on your hands and knees praying to the deity of your choice for help.

I agree, all these guys have got the morals of a snake oil salesman. I'd best shut up about it now before people might think I'm anti religious or something.

looks like this bloke in the wizards outfit pays no credence to the science of global warming. Four huge helicopters to fly him and his magic circle to Birmingham.
I guess he's got word off the supreme being that scientists have got it all wrong.
