Re: Today I'm neither Angry nor Happy about....
Muslim call to prayer took place in Blackburn Cathedral.
Personally speaking I don't give a monkey's if it wasn't for the sheer hypocrisy.
The adhan (the traditional muslim call to prayer in Arabic which states "Allah is the greatest I bear witness that there is no other God but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah") was performed by an imam, not a musician!
And why is that important, why is that hypocrisy?
Because the adhan was the second movement of Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man (a mass for peace).
Meanwhile on British tv the Saudi funded Islam Channel gives this salient piece of advice to a headscarfed clad 12 year old who asked a 'Muslim Scholar' on the question and answer session, whether it was ok to go to a supervised disco:
"Music is forbidden (Haram)..." He then quotes a passage from the Koran in which Allah condemns those who engage in a musical environment." Later in the same program it is stated "We do not ask why Allah commanded it, we just obey"
So, let's sum up:
A 12 year old cannot go to a disco because Allah said music is bad.
An imam can take part in a musical performance by reciting the call to prayer in a Christian Cathedral because xxx (fill in your own answer here).

Does any of that include letting off fireworks and inhaling laughing gas Spots? Indian guy at the bottom of our road runs a mobile disco that he hires out, and all those young Asian guys driving round in B.M.Ws' and Audis' mustn't have got the music message. No need for any calls to prayer in any Christian churches here, there's already about 50 mosques locally. I don't waste time caring any more. God doesn't actually live in Farnworth; you can contact him from anywhere.

Way, way way back in the late 1970s I had a job (actually, apart from paper rounds and bin man/postman/steel worker/putting holes [literally] into Bachelors peas prior to industrial steaming/funeral director's assistant in the holidays while at university, my very first job) as a special advisor on religious affairs to schools in Liverpool. My employer, Vida Barnett, took five of us newly unemployed students in Thatcher's darkest iron grip, and decided democratically to hand out the various religions by lot. I ended up with Sikhs and Rastafarianism.Enoch wrote: ↑Sun Nov 18, 2018 3:57 pmDoes he do weddings at the Gurdwara?TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Sun Nov 18, 2018 1:41 pmIndian guy at the bottom of our road runs a mobile disco
Apropos of nothing, I had a far wilder time getting to know my subjects than any of the other four inductees...

Don't think we've got a lot of olive trees... but then if the Chinese keep pumping CO2 out at the rate they are, the UK will probably be the world's no.1 olive oil producer soon.Montreal Wanderer wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 3:26 pmBritish trees should be safe after Brexit.....Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 3:09 pmJust discovered why Sainsbury's is no longer offering Italian, extra virgin first cold pressed olive oil from independent geographical indication sources anymore.

Fxck. Due out on a flight now cancelled for possibly 48 hours. Do I go home, or bed down in a hotel, or wander the wonder filled duty free corridors: already seen a bottle of Chanel No5 in red, marketed as special edition...

Looking for nutcracker, discovered it in a bowl of walnuts. Must have been there for two/three years at least. Missus freaking out about them being inedible. I've cracked open two and they tasted ok. Missus still thinks I'm poisoning myself and tinternet agrees. Store them for three to four months AND THEN DIE, it screams.

And here's me thinking that we were under threat from insidious Big Brother Data Mining...
Vodafone have texted me to say I have twenty four hours to go and grab some free Gregg's shite [a free SAUSAGE ROLL, or cheese and onion pasty]. Note they have correctly not identified me as Vegan. Doubly note they have incorrectly identified me as not giving a fxcking shit about free crap from fxcking Greggs.!

Don't be taken in by their obvious double bluff.
They're just testing your resolve.

I can bring you back some if you like... It'll fxcking cost mind, even from over here, never mind tariffs.
Plus, just went over to Bellagio where each year I buy a flask of proper Traditionale aceto balsamico d'Modena.
Jesus H Christ... The price has shot up by more than 60% than last year!
