Tolerance I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another mosque being built in Sydney. I think it should be the goal of every Australian to be tolerant. Thus the Mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance. That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy ", and the other a topless bar called "You Mecca Me Hot." Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbeque pork restaurant, called "Iraq o' Ribs." Across the street there could be a lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret ", with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods. Next door to the lingerie shop there would be room for an adult sex toy shop, "Koranal Knowledge ", its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side a liquor store called "Morehammered." All of this would encourage the Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so the mosque problem would be solved. If you agree with promoting tolerance, and you think this is a good plan, please pass it on...

I don't think you should Merlin, in fact I think it's a compliment. I would be proud a job I did has become synonymous with hard work in the real world, so much so it is now a recognised phrase in the English vocabulary.

Hi there - I came across Bedlington.co.uk while trying to find a family who came from Bedlington. I have posted the reason why I am trying to find a contact for the family on History Hollow. I come from Woodstock, Oxfordshire! Further to my post on History Hollow I have found an address in Bedlington - 1 Vulcan Place which has the name of Stoker Building. The family I was looking for is Stoker - is this building anything to do with them? Father, Robert and son, Thomas were Stone Masons. Hope you don't mind a non-Bedlington person using your site! Lou

At the 'coal face' Malcolm? As an ex miner I take great offence at this! The whole bloody lot of them have never done, tried or been subjected to a hard days graft in their entire pathetic lives! Arrests, prosecutions,jail them,calls for resignations and the shut down of the newspaper! What a load of dogs danglies, these MP's have very very very and again very, short memories. They are calling for the full force of the LAW to be brought to bear for these sub human journalists! Remind me again how many of these MP's broke the LAW when they cheated the system with their expenses claims, and got away scot free :angry:

Brian a most educational Post :dribble: Are we related by any chance :jump: 3G even though the smiley man is there, why should this be construed as provocative? Why in Australia or any where in this country, is it all one way traffic?
