When I was younger everyone kept asking me "Have you found Jesus?"
When I was on the street, when I was walking through shopping centres, when I was in the Student Union.
"Have you found Jesus?"
Eventually I got sick of it, and one day I snapped.
Someone asked me "Have you found Jesus?" and I turned to them I said "You've lost him? Again? What is it with you people losing Jesus? You know what you should do? You should do what they did in the olden days and nail him to a cross -- that way you'll always know where he is!!"
Which turned out to be the wrong thing to say to the Arch Bishop, but hey -- you live and learn.
Well -- not to put a damper on things, but this year, on the 2nd of June, nearly 300 people died and over 1,200 people were injured in one of the most horrific train crashes in recent memory.
So that might be one reason why they didn't want to mark it this year in particular.
It's also the anniversary of the formation of the PLO and the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Whether either of these matter to any given person I suppose depends on the person.
