SC: I think you'll find its the start of Ramadan, and everyone will be behaving in pious and propietous moderation. I was surprised that Sid's was so quiet, and it seems this forum is too. Are a lot of our regulars closet muslims, like our Imam? RIBB: There's nowtcloset aboutme, man SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'm agreeing that it is a wee bit quiet nowadays. Suppose it's like Cricket. Sometimes a bradman or a tendulkar will have a quite patch, a run of outs. Still, their record is intact ... if they fire up in the future. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brit1984 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I am surprised no far-right extremists have been alerted to the use of the word "muslims" in the OP to this thread. Normally by now there would be a few pages of hate speech, explaining how muslims are all evil rapscallions. Must be something wrong with their forum scanning software, or maybe the muslim-haters are also closet muslims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitabootdiggers,man? Changin' its name - that's madness! How'sembdy to findit noo? After the rugby finishes (I'm watching springboks - pumas just now) I might go down to the Reef; its a bit of a dive, though. SC Oh no - the Imam must be down in Sid's with his iPhone again; I can hear him from here Helloooo ahsed Hellooo Ingurland... I think he's lost it, to be honest, and I can hear a woman's voice in the background as well. Anyway, I'm guessing that he's seen the new moon, and that's the end of Ramadan now.

StreetCowboy Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Haweythair, Cowboy; Ramadan'sfinishedtwodays and Ahcannaebeleev itstillsae quiet, bytheway. Ahwizin theGashoos'n' therewiznebdythair. I guess they've all gone back to the kampongs. The Pie Eaters from Sid's will be saying at home to listen to tonight's game against Salford on the wireless; it's not on live That'sthedivvil'sgeim, bytheway. I don't think its actually proscribed in the Qoran, or they wouldn't play it in Saudi Arabia; and I don't think it any more promotes drinking and gambling than your very own Scottishly football. But I take your point that we shouldn't limit ourselves to a purely literal interpretation of the holy texts; my understanding is that your prophet's warnings and prohibitions were based on pragamatic common sense at the time: - don't get pissed up hammered drunk, don't borrow from loan sharks to fund your gambling,for fear of drawing yourself into conflict with your neighbour - don't come home skint from the bookies stinking of strong drink for fear of domestic strife - don't get so pissed that you make bad bets and forget your prayers In fact, probably best to stay out of the pub, the bookmakers and the loanshark altogether. Aye, ye've prettymuch got it dedoanthair, but henivverspecificallysed anything aboot pale ales or stouts, or peaty single malts. CanAhcadgeafagoffye, bytheway? Sorry, Imam, I don't smoke. But surely even though he ddn't mention specific brand names, you should stay away from anything that will evoke strong feeling and bring you into conflict with your fellow man, or anything that might prove addictingly distractive from the five pillars of Islam and your quindiurnal prayer commitments - whether that might be strong drink, addictive drugs, Thai soap operas or posting on internet forums Crivvens, man! Checkthetime! Ah'vegoattaebegaun - Ah'm latefirthe evenin'prayers,man. Well,Ah've lerntmalessonnow,justliketheboys at the Madrasah telt us. They warned you about soap operas and the internet?

StreetCowboy Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 ... ... Wuh.. mnmnm.. Hawa! Sorry, I was just concentrating for a moment there... I was in the Reef the other night there, it's a bit of a dive but the friendliest pub in these parts. It's the only place that sometimes puts a Reserved sign on the fish tank, for some of the regulars. Anyway, Nessie the barmaid persuaded Auld Jimmy to join the singer-musician on stage. He mumbled something, and to avoid losing face the musician nodded nervously. "Hhnrrn wahnoo hnaarr Hnaaarwhoo wahoonn Bauaurrrn frREEEEeeEEeEE" and suddenly the guitarist knew what it was and started playing slightly less non-committally. Anyway, then Jimmy sat down and the musician was all on is own. I suspect he'd enjoyed his break between sets a bit much SC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
