Re: Ramadan
 

The plural is definitely Lexi. Love Partridge. :lol:

And as we're on the topic, this has made me smile recently.

Apparently that was pretty much completely unscripted. One of my favourite scenes.

Re: Ramadan
 

Mike, I have just finished preparing a reply to the post you'd just removed. Part of my reply was a bit of a bash at that guy and the other part was the actual response to his allegations. So here is the reply I wrote, minus the bash:

In countries where day time extends beyond 18 hours, the faithful are allowed to follow Mecca timing with regards to fasting schedules. This opinion is backed up by a growing scientific indications that Mecca is indeed the center of the earth. Just before you start rubbishing this argument, I suggest you take a look at this BBC link. The BBC reported this theory claiming it to be from Muslim scientists, but without indicating weather there is any counter argument, which goes to show that there actually is no counter argument!!

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Muslim call to adopt Mecca time

Also see this interesting video (ignore the propaganda part):

Re: Ramadan
 

Just over a week into Ramadan and the fasting is obviously taking its toll.

You're more bonkers than usual, I hope someone has confiscated your car keys.

Re: Ramadan
 

we'll ignore the no up not down or east nor west of spacetime. ignore the oblate spheroid thats irregular at best and the numerous problems associated with differing projections. we'll put all that on hold and just suppose for a minute a "centre" is even likely. If it were, you are off by about 1500 -2000 km. but hey whats that between lunatics right?

Re: Ramadan
 

You're running on empty, as usual.

The argument is easy to rubbish (yet again you fail to understand what "scientific" means), but the whole premise--that the earth has a centre on its surface--is just nonsense to start with. I thought you'd taken my previous advice, about a year ago, to go away, learn and grow up before you start trying to interact with adults again. Clearly not.

And as to your logic that because the BBC didn't indicate whether or not there is a counter-argument therefore there isn't one...who ties your shoelaces for you in the morning?

Re: Ramadan
 

Not sure if its my imagination (could be, it's fairly fertile) but about half of our local female staff have taken to wearing a head scarf for the happy month, but the spray-on jeans and super-tight tops seem, across the board, to have got sprayier and tighter. Maybe god's testing me.

Re: Ramadan
 

He tests me all the time....I fail all the time and yet He still keeps on testing :)

Re: Ramadan
 

I think that's how it's meant to work. Hope you're having a good month :D

Re: Ramadan
 

Mother in law along with 2 sister in laws are visiting so yeah its all just peachy right now :rofl:
After the first 7 days everything and every day tend to start looking the same. You know I honestly do not know what day is it today and how many more to go!
There are moments of clarity but most of it is all a haze. Had to drive on the SZR last night and I caught myself zoning out, you know!
Despite my personal belief that fasting is good for the soul (also for the fat gut), these long 14 hour fasts cant definitely be good for the body.
But meh!

LOSER

Said the lunatic.

Re: Ramadan
 

Well I guess I won this time didn't I! ;)

Re: Ramadan
 

Have you considered a career with ISIS?

Re: Ramadan
 

Lovely sentiment from one so-called Muslim to another, especially when the other one has admitted his own imperfection. Just about sums you up, minnow.

Re: Ramadan
 

Naah, they don’t pay much. I’d be much better off working for their strings puller, the MI5

Re: Ramadan
 

You wish!.. Soon the divine credit crunch will catch up with you mate!

Re: Ramadan
 

well that's a lovely sentiment during the holy month. I thought that sort of thing was particularly haram during ramadan?

Re: Ramadan
 

Aren't there any buses you could be running under?

Re: Ramadan
 

But if you martyred yourself you'd finally have the chance of sex.

Re: Ramadan
 

Oh, the irony.

Shouldn't you be putting your time to good use during the Holy month instead of trolling message boards?

Re: Ramadan
 

As deluded and ignorant as ever.

Shame on you for your rudeness to another Muslim during this month. That negates your day of fasting doesn't it?

Re: Ramadan
 

Quote of the week (heard in the canteen today from one of my Lebanese colleagues): "I will fast tomorrow as we are going to the company Iftar"

Re: Ramadan
 

It is not me who suggest that he’s a loser, it’s what the Islamic faith formulas do, and that’s not just because he is disobeying the divine instructions, it’s more to do with him not showing any remorse about his sins. Just because there is no immediate retaliation from the creator to your wrong doings, certainly does not mean that you have managed to get away with it. It simply means that according to the system of Mercy that the creator has created, you are been given extra time to rethink and get back on the right path. And if you chose not to, then just wait and see how your story will unfold, your whole story that is, not just the minute part in this world

Re: Ramadan
 

Yet again you talk out of your sheer contempt of everyone who is not like you. Takes a whole of crazy to keep this sort of ignorance up at all times.
You assume (negatively) too much about everyone and your problem is, in your mind, that assumption somehow magically transforms into fact. Do not assume anything of anyone because then you start judging people and there's only one of those. What I do or do not do in my life is my problem and my grave. I think you should worry that your kids do not grow up to be as negative as you, although I doubt that.

O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite (or try to find faults) in each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear God ; indeed, God is accepting of repentance and is merciful.

Re: Ramadan
 

You wrote the word so that's you judging. As usual without knowing full facts

More than a little presumptive of you to speak on behalf of your god. I am fairly sure that's frowned upon.

Re: Ramadan
 

You're an excuse for a human being. So judgmental and arrogant to think you're holier than others. Terribly disgusting attitude.

Re: Ramadan
 

wow , this thread really went off the rails ....

Re: Ramadan
 

Anyway, Ramadan.

I heard today that we get one or two days off before Eid starts; anyone got any further information on this? I'm really hoping they're not just getting my hopes up as it's my first year here...

Re: Ramadan
 

The whole Eid hiatus will last only a week ...at best

Re: Ramadan
 

I knew we get that week off (I've booked my holiday to start then because of it). But people are telling me that we'll probably be getting the 15th & 16th off as well.

Fingers crossed they're not winding me up, anyway...

Re: Ramadan
 

Not officially but these days tend to "fall between the cracks" ;)

Re: Ramadan
 

The public sector could get up to 12 days off in Qatar all depending on when Eid falls.

The Private sector will get 3 days as per Qatari labour law.

Re: Ramadan
 

Public sector FTW!

:fingerscrossed:

Basically, I'm mentally already on the plane...

Re: Ramadan
 

Snap. I'm outta here on Thursday night and sat at my desk now I may as well be asleep.

Re: Ramadan
 

The Typhoon for Mindanao is on it's way ;)

Ticks another bit of weather off the list though eh...
