I\'ll try and keep this short, but archaeologists digging about near stonehenge or avebury or the other one found pigs teeth left over from sacrifices (supposedly). They were found to be just under a year old at death according to their skills and science which means they would have been sacrificed/roasted/eaten at the Winter Solstice having been birthed about March (as wild pigs are wont to do). Therefore the researchers concluded that these places (henge, avebury, etc...) were only used at mid-winter and that there is a likelihood mid-summer never saw these places used. All in all, the hippies are wrong, as are the pagans and the new-agers and everyone else with them! Stick two fingers up at the great unwashed and tell them they\'re all being conned

Doesn\'t that assume people didn\'t domesticate pigs at that time?
Perhaps they know that as well.
Then all it shows is that they didn\'t sacrifice pigs in the summer.
anyway it was a bunch of wacky Englismen in the 1880s who started dressing in funny robes and pretending to be druids that started the whole mess. Don\'t blame the hippies and new-agers.

The weather was great last night. The long danish summer day (evenings get dark around 11 pm here around the solstice) was a great furum for the ritual burning of the witch...on the stretch of beach we were at, there must\'ve been 25-30 bonfires 20-30 meters from each other strung out along the beach, the flames rising 8 and 10 meters in the air...people stood and sang the traditional midsummer ballads and just hung around....
Saint Hans Eve is the best of the Danish holidays...
Ritual, those Swedish traditions...don\'t they have something to do with eating kraftor and drinking copious amounts of akvavit?

The whole point is they WERE wild pigs Vince
And quite right about the pagan types starting things back in the 19th century...it backs up exactly what I said about the hippies and all that jazz. The blind leading the blind lol

I didn\'t say they were pagan. In fact, I think they were Christians. They just liked to wear the white robes and fake ancient jewelry.
I used to have a good book on it but don\'t anymore. I think it was just called \"the Druids.\"
Truth is we hardly know anything about Druids, and most we think we know was made up by guys who didn\'t have anything better to do because TV wasn\'t invented yet.

What a load of tree hugging hippy crap! Yet again something else that we can all jump on to show everyone just how spiritual each and every one of us is! We all try and make out how alternative we are and how much we differ from the norm, but we all end up being exactly the same in doing so.

Oh wait...that\'s HIPS...
lollolI don\'t think you are tall enough to be running your hips into counters. Now if you had said Easy bake ovens then I might agree.

You, sir, are a right b@st@rd and I will kick you in the shins the next time I see you.

Don\'t you mean IF you can kick that high?

Oh NOW you\'re asking for it! I\'m very certain I can kick that high, having played soccer for several years. Now I\'ll have to wear my cleats the next time SAP meets up.
Also remember that my height (or lack thereof) means I can possibly punch some very sensitive areas on you tall ogre folks.
