and(sic) area designated for Islamic prayer, should ideally have an area for people to perform their ritual ablutions. Dunno if the space mentioned has such facilities.

Washing? what’s wrong with the facilities everybody else uses? Seriously, I’m still waiting for

a reasonable explanation, you know.

Not being a fan of division, and divide and rule policies, I find this somewhat contradictory to “my beliefs”.

So the Daily Mail isn’t a ‘reliable source’ sodafarls ?
LOL !

No really ………….. is this some sort of competition to make me laugh ?!!

Well, each to their own you know…but it wouldn’t be my first port of call. Just surprised that you felt the need to use it Gus, really just surprised, and dissapointed. Will you be doing so again when it suits, and accepting it’s editorial when it doesn’t?

Could be used for other purposes, where food is served. Or maybe alcohol.

It’s neither a canteen nor a bar. Stop supporting divisive social behavour!

“If the kids, are united, they will never, be divided!”

You don’t know the difference between a ‘news report’ and an ‘opinion writer’ sodafarls ?

I do understand the emphasis on a reliable source, and consistency Gus 🙄

I cannot believe the use of The Sun and Trevor Kavanagh to support an argument

I feel the same way about using the Daily mail, however,

isn’t life full of surprises ?

😆

Well, I suppose a bigger “multi-faith centre” would be in order then..but it’s the “multi” bit that seems to have been the problem from the above anecdote, size and aspect not being mentioned..

Why is a “multi-faith centre” unsuitable for Muslims?

Anybody got a “reasonable” explaination?

GG, i’m surprised to see you use the Daily Mail to support an argument. 😯

I think Epicyclo can only be referring to the reluctance of agencies to regularly burn off the build up of undergrowth that makes out of control fires so dangerous, as Aboriginals have done so for quite a long time. Arguments between some green groups and forestry agencies as to the impact of this have been going on for a while now. It’s got little to do with climate change though, and less to do with “God”.

Angles? Surely that would make it a different bike? Shorter top tube, yeah, well that makes sense (in theory). The skanky patronising pink paintjob nonsense…well, that is just depressing in so many ways. My lady still prefers her small 03 spesh enduro to her current 05 “lady” stumpy, and it’s not just the paintjob.

What’s the difference between female specific bikes and general “male” bikes anyway? 1cm off the top tube?

It’s always a good for laugh when someone turns up for a ride and it’s obvious that they are desperate to impress others, with whatever they happen to be wearing.

May I make it clear at this point, that I did not pay GG to illustrate nor support my initial observation.

– I want to, in fact I need to see you ‘head to toe Rapha, urban and sophisticated’.

Well considering our current financial crisis, I would feel rather gauche.

Head to toe Rapha, urban and sophisticated.

Now I’m even more disappointed…..

Don’t worry, i’ll dress up all mountainbikey, just for you…

I’m hugely unbothered about other people’s religious beliefs sodafarls.

I’m much more bothered with what the government is up to.

Yeah me too…but what? what was that? There’s a lurking undercurrent of rather pungent religious beliefing going on within several members of the current govt? Should I turn a blind eye and pretend it’s not true? after all, they’re just high ranking members of the Govt.

I think somebody’s got sand in their knickers over something!

My thoughts exactly. 😯

I was looking forward to seeing what you’d wearing

Head to toe Rapha, urban and sophisticated.

Fancy a game of STW Forum Scrabble, instead?

Yeah, cos last time innit, you gave up and went to bed 😉

Well it is for me.

Fair enough, but would you agree that the UK, esp it’s education system and some rather important policy makers have expressed publicly more interest in religious sects (eg Opus Dei)in recent years than you feel comfortable with? And let’s not go into the renewed vigour for “faith schools”.

Jesus f mohammad, you are some insecure bellends at times. Do they not have pisstaking in the “Greatest City on Earth”?

glad the penny has dropped [;)]

Bend over and pick it up son 😀

They don’t frighten me

Me neither to be honest, although I would feel concern when unsupported ideas of that nature gain some sort of respectability, in say our education system. And that is not too hard to imagine.

is it coz they’re not wearing tweed?

And some people have a humour bypass and are a little precious.

That twisted freak sfb nailed it, and kicked it’s back doors in all at once.

it’ll be fun!

Each to their own? eh? 😯

Just an observation from the pics, no need to take it personally.

Far more dangerous is the green dogma that passes for environmental science.

What part of it, and why? I’m interested, seriously.

Greater understanding leads to more tolerance and less prejudice.

Of what? an individuals personal creations or cultural delusions? I’m all for tolerating this sort of behaviour as long as it does not interfere with anybody else, but really…don’t suggest that I should respect what every individual may dredge up from their inner mind to explain the world around us.

ps, my apologies for the re-edit back up a bit.

Fear of the unknown is the bases of all prejudice.

No it’s not. I know a snake may bite me, a shark may devour me etc…it’s not a fear of the “unknown” it’s a learning process based on past experiences, and when someone expresses fear of religious fundamentalism being in a position of power over them (which you could extrapolate that this “academic” could be through the acceptance and teaching of his of his “beliefs” in schools, or the ostraciscation from positions of power of those who do not share the same delusions ) then that would be based on either personal recollections of a similar situation, or cultural “rememberings” of just that situation. Which is all too common.

Northern Ireland. What a **** waste.

To my mind, fossils are fascinating (and the subject of my daughter’s PhD), but they don’t provide any useful guidance on how to live our lives now.

Should they?

Hmmm, and we hear criticisms of stormtroopers who wear pads at a trail centres? A bit “overdressed” for a pootle around town and a pint perhaps? 😯

then you should also respect their right to their belief.

Yeah, that’s easy. I respect their right to holding silly notions, but I’m under no obligation to respect whatever fantasies they have created or have been given. Simple really.

His arrogance in assuming that it was only his specific “faith” that gave him a right to have an interest in how the world works, as “god” apparently wanted him to know so he could understand all around him,suggesting that those with a lack of “faith” don’t really have the right motivation, was annoying.
Anyway, there is no reason to respect others beliefs. Respect them as human beings yes, but their beliefs? nfw.

I had probs with an older version, but installed the most recent last week. Working fine now.

if someone does an excellent job then they will get more money out of the bonus at the end of the month

Not company policy when I worked for Evans last summer,the bonus was shared equally among staff. Perhaps it’s at the managers descretion? I know my manager tried to get me a better income, but was told “no”. He also explained that a high turnover of staff was not a concern for Evans senior management, when in his opinion it should be.

Bedtime for me, got a stag do tomorrow. stonemonkey I left a bag of 7’s behind the decks, grab’em when you are done.

Jungle vs d’n’b…evolution in reverse.

has there ever been a hotter lead singer than this

She gave me the horn as a youth and was beautiful. Unfortunately by the time I met her she was in seriously dire straits, and bears little resemblence to that video now. I hope somebody took the time to help her sort herself out.

“XC it, ride it to work, “

Aye…

what’s not to like?

bed time bad dreams, from the home of northshore.

I love it.
