They kept quiet because of the retribution from the loonies.<br /><br />The tricks of the Righteous in corralling minorities rather than letting them integrate has made this problem worse. It's easy for a few loonies to control a ghetto where few speak English. They can't get out - the Righteous won't let them - and they can't call anyone.<br /><br />Even so, you're right that the lunatic fringe of religion won't ignore us. <br /><br />But it's not just the Muslims.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-9654837157292677772010-10-26T01:55:19.054+01:002010-10-26T01:55:19.054+01:00hangemall - if you get the chance, try Monkey Shou...hangemall - if you get the chance, try Monkey Shoulder. It's a blend of three Speyside malts and very nice. <br /><br />The only problem is recycling. It has three brass monkeys stuck to the bottle (it's from Scotland so no, they don't have any). So does it go in metal or glass?<br /><br />Fortunately it's easy to get them off (NOT immediately after finishing the bottle) with a sharp thin blade. <br /><br />But now I don't know what to do with three brass monkeys. Still, we have the weather for them.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-59525577319043785262010-10-25T21:40:02.110+01:002010-10-25T21:40:02.110+01:00PPS The following words:

The Law as it stands prevents the rest of us doing so. Muslims want respect, then show us some respect and do what needs done to show you want to be part of this British society. Where are the Muslim protesters with placards standing outside mosques where hatred is being preached? <br /><br />Your comment about ignoring religion is all well and good, my friend, but unfortunately the religious lot won't ignore us.

He used to run a cafe in a portacabin on an industrial estate. He loved the smell of bacon but didn't eat it. Also, my ex entertains the wife one day a week and would sometimes serve sausages from the local market. Unfortunately they turned out to be pork and not beef until the butcher's mistake was corrected. The wife didn't have to say the equivalent of a thousand hail Marys or behead anyone (not even herself.)<br /><br />It was an honest mistake. No harm done. Get on with your life.<br /><br />Also in a former workplace the security officer told me he had never smoked but smoking never bothered him. "You can smoke in my car. You can smoke in my house. I've got ashtrays for visitors."<br /><br />On the other hand at the same place two people in my office became ex-smokers and suddenly beacame the most intolerant people I had known, concerning smoking. I suspect they were over-compensating for their still- extant urges. "Bad temper is the vice of the virtuous." (Jung quoting Henry Drummond, I think.)<br /><br />Well that's that off my chest. I've finished off the Isle of Jura and now I'm off to bed. Morrison's becons tomorrow and we'll see what delights they have on offer.hangemallnoreply@blogger.com
