I think Pratchett said it best
"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy"
Pratchett? Good gods, no. It's considerably older than that, it's attributed to [url= http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Dorothy_Parker ]Dorothy Parker[/url] I believe.

Mrs iDave is Iranian, shia muslim by birth, thinks religion is bollox, and thankfully is quite keen on 'immodest' clothing....
She wouldn't dream of wearing a burka nor being in a beauty pageant.

Except, she's said she'll wear a one-piece bathing suit, so it's (again) a big fuss over sod all.

Lol 😆 Bless you iDave 8)
And just for the official record.
I would.
I'm sure she's delighted with that glowing endorsement Hora...
Aah read it now. So the story is, "there are religious idiots out there who don't like what some other people do".
Not really a new story is it.
IDave, a girl hasn't lived....until she's been ruined proper 😯
