It's probably just that I've been here longer and these guys know me/what I'm like.

Sadly some people have/do come here to troll, especially in threads like this, and I guess it just takes a little while for some people to figure out who is genuinely interested in discussing topics, not just looking for an argument.

I wouldn't take it personally. :thumb:

As far as I know it's akin to 'in the name of the Almighty'. An expression of gratitude for the meat.

Chris is doing well now and has lost his newby status and is one of us after his defending of the chocolate 2.5 pistons :D


This meat carry on is getting massive now
Even headlines about This meat
Enough to make you want to be a veggie
I was brought on on a farm and remember helping cut a pigs throat a horrible painful death for it but i still like meat but only from my local quality butcher
I would imagine people are going TI really think about meat now and slaughter techniques

I'm still going to church, in fact the pastor is coming around for a coffee in an hour or so. Christians are not forbidden from eating pork - thank God! :)

A pork sausage with the pastor, call Yewtree :D

I totally agree. If parents are on drugs, can you blame the kid going on Halal???
IMO Daily Mail need to get some pictures with his parents "chonging on a bong and stuff and behaving strangely" to develop another cracker of a story.

We should credit right source though>>>>>

See what you've done, News Thump? :rolleyes: :mad:

It wouldn't surprise me TBH, everybody takes offense at every bloody thing nowadays...

Is a black ribbon attached to a car offensive to Westerners or is it purely a luck symbol.

Or is it a luck Symbol that has been hijacked in the manner the EDL hijacked the St George Cross?

It depends on how the ribbon is attached. And does it fit in with the rest of the mods ?
The last thing we want is a bad job to have been done and it look stupid. :D

That reminds me of the time, purely for my own amusement, when I was being deliberately vague towards my (spaced out) mate...

I 'asked' him, "Weyland, do you like hamsters?" To which he paused for a bit, before replying all annoyed but quite serious, "I don't like any animals with gnawy teeth!"

FPMSL :lol:


You'd've pissed, JT. :lol1:

Some 185 of the estimated 1,700 Subway stores in Great Britain and Ireland have eliminated ham and bacon from their menus in response to requests from Muslim consumers.

The world's largest sandwich chain said in a statement that after strong interest from its Muslim customers, these locations
have introduced "halal meat" as a replacement, which is prepared under strict Islamic rules.

As Subway has spread geographically across diverse populations, back in 2007 the chain put in place a program "to ensure that the population demographic is taken into account when new story openings are considered," the company said, in a statement.

There are currently no plans for stores serving halal meat in the U.S. market, a spokesperson says.

Muslims are forbidden from eating any non-halal food and meat from pigs, and Subway said customers can identify those stores selling halal food by the special "All meats are Halal" sign, displayed in the participating restaurants. The signs are on menu panels, nutritional information panels and front windows of the store.

Special meats made with non-pork products -- such as turkey ham -- are being sold instead.

Under Islamic law, pork is forbidden and while other meat can be eaten, it must be sourced, slaughtered and processed according to very strict rules.

Subway said all halal meat served in its branches has come from animals that were stunned before being slaughtered.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard...if hundreds of other retail outlets of various types can and do cater for all religious needs how hard was it for Subway to do that?

And the ones petitioning are a bunch of idiots as well trying to stir trouble as usual.

It's also not exactly 'breaking news', even NSR debated it back in Feb 2009:
