Yeh, here we go again.
As the news broke of the shooting of an eleven year old kid, the florists of Merseyside were excitedly on the phones and importing everything they can get their hands on in preparation for the riches ahead.
They may have lost the Beatles, and Anfield hasn't seen a title in twenty years, but when it comes to displays of self-pity, the people of Liverpool still cannot be beaten.

A few months ago some local high school girls were killed in a car accident where I live, and not a week goes by that there isn't some new "vigil", "remembrance", etc. etc. ad nauseum and endless references to the "angels".
It's all pretty sickmaking. Of course it's very sad, but dying in a car crash isn't really an achievement. When someone dies after a lifetime of enriching others' lives, they get one funeral. Sayonara.
I guess I'm just saying my town might rival Liverpool for deathcultishness.
