This blokes a legend. He baptised me in 1997 and we are still in touch. He saved my life in more ways than one. Anyway he is going over to Ireland to perform a marriage ceremony for a good friend. In an email he sent today he said he had to do a funeral tomorrow morning before he boarded the plane. Then went on to write the following - One of the recently retired priests here told me recently that some time ago when he went to the MCG and saw all the people in the crowd, he said to himself, "Oh no, they all have to be buried." I laughed out loud, but on the other hand those poor fellas must be feeling the strain of the ratios. They really do burn their lives out like the candles on the alter.
