*lays out stall*


All religions are complete and utter rubbish - Im sure we all agree on this - all sensible people do.(ha)


this Idolatry busines sis all cobblers


If there is a God & he is indeed Good,then Im sure he is agreeing with Snorky on this organsied relion farce


BUT


Anyone going to one of the places must, surely, be given a lesson in the culture and peculiarities that you must observe- whether you accept them or not, you have volunteered to work in the place. Ditto Brits who get lashed for brewing bathtub gin in Saudi Arabia - its not right, but what do you expect ?


I realise that this woman probabaly did this without thinking and no harm was meant by it, but this is a not too compliacted basic idea in the rules in these places - surely she should have been advised or given a refresher before taking on such a job ?


I may not agre with standing up for thr national anthem in the USA, but should I sit on my spotty arse and cat call sarcastic comments whislt otyhers are doping it , then I am laying myself wide opne to a reaction

Fair enough snorky, but this was done a little while back, with full cooperation of the teaching staff and headmaster, locals, none of whom raised a murmur.

Some demagogue has got hold of this further down the line and is kicking up a stink.


I'm sure she'll get found guilty, a slap on the wrist (hopefully not a couple on the back) and be booted out the country after pressure from foreign office.


It is all totally ridiculous though.

I think a worse story than this is the woman in Saudi Arabia who was out in a car with someone she wasn't related to. They were attacked by a gang of men who raped both of them. The woman is now in prison awaiting 200 lashes for breaking the law by going out with her boyfriend.

> I think what happened is that she named

> the Teddy Bear Mohammed after one of the boys in

> her class. Simple mistake to make.


Excuse my ignorance, but who was that boy Mohammed named after? I'm sure there's a "logical" reason why a boy can be called Mohammed without his parents being flogged, but a bear can't, somebody please explain. (I'm going to guess that the rule is that the teddy bear isn't a living creature. So if it had been the class hamster would that have been OK? I need to know the rules so I don't put my foot in it next time I'm in Sudan.)

    • https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/funeral-for-tony-slattery I never knew what happened to Ton Slattery after the brilliant improvisation comedy show Whose line is it anyway? For those old enough you'll remember it was a mix of American and British comedians hosted by Clive (forgotten surname)... just read he sadly developed mental health issues that impacted his ability to work but that he'd had much better last few years and been doing comedy tours again in the UK. His partner is fundraising for the funeral but as he remains special to many who grew up watching that show he's got far more than the original target amount. His partner and he had been together 40 years. Amazing and heartwarming love...
