Turn, turn, turn


Is a song recorded by Pete Seeger in the 50's and later, recorded by a favorite band of mine, The Bryds. The song is a direct quote from the Old Testament.

Its the old bear tonight btw. She's out and busy.

The words from Ecclesiastes are these.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
  1. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
  2. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
  3. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
  4. A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
  5. A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
  6. A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
  7. A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace
I'm tempted to say "wise words mate" but truth to tell, the song struck a chord within me after reading over the back pages of this weekend's games.

In one lengthy blog, I learnt that by 2012 at the latest, Uefa, have said Football Clubs have to stand on their own two feet. No more sugar daddies, or carpetbaggers.

Yesterday then, David Conn in the Guardian set out the position of the Premiership beautifully.

All things must pass ?

Georgie, does this mean they will ban diving?
