I have yet to find it beneficial to my cause, to have the law on my side reggie.


Erm...what "cause" would that be?


*awaits response with impatience*

I have just googled fatwa and found that they are rarely bad and are mostly clarifications of Islamic law made by an Islamic scholar.

I am confident that if a fatwa was issued to Sly and Reggie it would be....'turn it up'

Some music

I also read this in wikipedia


"In 2005, the Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued the Fatwa that the production, stockpiling and use of nuclear weapons are forbidden under Islam and that Iran shall never acquire these weapons."

You've just reminded me of that fabulous comedienne from Iran (sorry forgotten her name)...she commented once that "the British" always seemed to get Iraq and Iran confused...and then went on to say that she couldn't understand why...distinguishing between the two countries was easy...she said:


Iran is the country WITH the weapons of mass destruction!


(Well I found that funny).

Shappi Khorsandi - and yes I found that line hilarious too. She is totally brilliant, clever and funny.

I think criminalising the membership is wrong, its just giving them a false sense of importance and credence....having lived overseas, I really do value the freedom of speech in the UK!

It's OK...you are allowed to go "off topic" in the Lounge (the main reason why I didn't post this in the Drawing Room!!).

Sorry to interrupt you a minute reggie *cheeky grin*

Saudi, India, and yes it definitely has a different feel in the UK/West....we take soooo much for granted I think (not intentionally I just feel differently by my overseas experiences and appreciate more the fact we can peacefully protest, say what we think, dress how we like, do what we want) :)


*gives floor back to reggie again*

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
