  1. Infect a Muslim and Christian can merry without anyone converting. People of the books can have no problem as long as they believe in one god and Muhammad as the last prophet. Teachings are the same for both religion. Anyone who has sinned is forgiven provided one repent on his or her sins.

    The Muslim I work with tells me a Muslim man can marry a Christian or Jew without her converting,

    Under Islamic law this could not happen regardless of payment of Jizyah.

  3. I did the MHS Loop clockwise over 3 days/2 nights a few years back on a Honda Bros, great bike. I stopped overnight at Mae Sarieng and Pai but if I did it again I'd do it over at least 4days/3nights as it wasn't enough time to stop off at the numerous sights along the way. I'd add in a overnight at Mae Hong Song. I'd go for a Ninja or even better a ER6, nice to have plenty of power to overtake trucks when going up mountain roads. Had a fantastic time doing the MHS Loop, hopefully it wont be too long before I do it again.

  4. If you're going to do your CBT in the UK then why not do the practical and theory tests and get a full license. Some training companies throw in the CBT for free if you do a training course for your test with them. May as well go for the direct access course/test and you can ride any bike from day one, otherwise you're restricted to a bike of 33 bhp or less for 2 years. It will probably cost you about £500 for everything. All the travel insurance companies I've spoken to about motorcycle cover whilst abroad have said if they cover you it's only for a bike you'd be legally entitled to ride in the UK.

    If you're looking for a first time 125 to cut your teeth on in the UK then a boring little CG125 would probably be your best all round bet.

  5. Incidently today the World Pasty Championships are being held:

    Eden Project holds first World Pasty Championships

    Cooks from around the world have arrived in Cornwall for the first World Pasty Championships.

    The event, at the Eden Project, near St Austell, is celebrating the popular local delicacy, which was given protected status under EU law in 2011.

    The pasty has been associated with tin miners in the county and was a part of many people's diets during the 18th Century.

    The Oxford English Dictionary suggests it was first identified around 1300.

    'Chunky and slow-baked'

    Families in Cornwall have passed down the recipe for a Cornish pasty through the generations.

    Judges will be looking for the best pasty made to the traditional recipe.

    The Cornish Pasty Association, which is backing the competition, came up with the "genuine" Cornish pasty recipe as part of its successful Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) application.

    It said an authentic pasty should have a distinctive "D" shape and be crimped on one side, never on top.

    It added that the filling should be "chunky, made up of uncooked mince or chunks of beef with swede, potato and onion and a light seasoning" before being slow-baked.

    Variations on the pasty taken around the world by expatriates can be found from Australia to California and Mexico.

    Separate competitions in the championships, being held on Saturday, will look at alternative recipes hailing from different parts of the world.
