    No idea, can't see it from my place and I don't drive back to look at it.

    Probably not, but we don't get any of that round here anyway.

      What is this you're describing, some sort of air traffic control tower? :wtf:

      Josh, I'm disappointed, this has been discussed before, you seem kind of bright (in a weird deep fried cheese curd eating way) and still you have no idea what I am talking about. OK, here's a clue, lets merge a significant Muslim religious holiday and a classic musical from 1978, hence Ramadamadingdong (think Stockard Channing (I can't make it too easy can I)) and the tower is specific to the mosque at the end of my street, though may be at all mosques, I don't check. As for the lights, I have no idea and as a clour blind individual they could be red and purple for all I know.

      I was born in 1980, and don't much care for musicals... But i get the mosque bit at least. Maybe they're just late celebrating that Jewish newyear thing that Judah posted about the other day...?

        Oh well if you can't see it at night and the lights don't keep you up at night then there isn't much to complain about. I found a neighbors Santa on a roof all lit up all night to be annoying because of the light pollution it was causing :laugh:

          I'm assuming it's officially started, the Turkish Mosque at the end of my street has all the green vertical fluoro's around the balcony of the tower are lit up. A bit latter (I think when the FJ Holden flies off into the sky with Danny and Sandy) the blue light on top of the tower lights up.

            Well I was born in 1968 and absolutely hate musicals, but if you haven't watched and enjoyed Grease[^] and Stockard Channing then your just weird (which doesn't make much sense to someone who likes deep fried cheese curds does it?).

            I don't think you do, I'm mixing up this song[^] from the end of Grease with Ramadan. It's not funny, but it's just after 02:35, I've had a bit of a messed up day as mentioned in an earlier post and am enjoying Coopers Special Old Stout which is mush better than that MGD crap that is mentioned in the SoapBox.

                If that were the case I would climb the roof and destroy it. About 8 years ago I had an incosiderate neighbour (Kuwaiti they were), whose husband earnt the big untaxed dollar in Saudi Arabia while she, the 2 kids and siblings sucked on the teat of the Australian welfare system. They were ugly, smelly, ignorant and always in possession of a new car each every 18 months. They also didn't work so coming home at 01:30 - 02:00 in the morning and having choking fits (speaking arabic to each other) on their driveway 2 metres from my bedroom window was OK. Also the oldest kid was about 15 and always playing music loud when my new born son was trying to sleep. I couldn't punch shit out of the kid as he was under age, mum (fat ugly troll) laughed and I was pissed off. So one night while they were out with their camel rooting brethren and I was drinking beer I had a epiphany. The wife was asleep on the lounge, I found a tube of super glue and then managed to climb the fence. I then proceeded to glue up every lock in the place. Never had a problem from them again.

                    Well where the hell are you? It's already the 28th, I'm already drinkning beer and I've only 2 left. Not sure about the rules in your part of the world but down here the birthday boy had to provide the drinks. So come on, 10 more minutes and I'll be out.

                          No doubt. You should suggest to them that they take advantage of the "boycott" to market it in the States under the slogan "real beer from would-be immigrants who decided to stay where they were"... or something. Which reminds me... i haven't had a good stout since my wedding (when i had... a lot of good stout). I should try to find something local.

                              I'm pretty sure i've seen Grease, or at least part of it, on TV at one point. But i tend to keep a book or laptop with me when watching TV, so chances are i just didn't pay much attention.

About 8 years ago I had an incosiderate neighbour (Kuwaiti they were), whose husband earnt the big untaxed dollar in Saudi Arabia while she, the 2 kids and siblings sucked on the teat of the Australian welfare system. They were ugly, smelly, ignorant and always in possession of a new car each every 18 months. They also didn't work so coming home at 01:30 - 02:00 in the morning and having choking fits (speaking arabic to each other) on their driveway 2 metres from my bedroom window was OK. Also the oldest kid was about 15 and always playing music loud when my new born son was trying to sleep. I couldn't punch shit out of the kid as he was under age, mum (fat ugly troll) laughed and I was pissed off. So one night while they were out with their camel rooting brethren and I was drinking beer I had a epiphany. The wife was asleep on the lounge, I found a tube of super glue and then managed to climb the fence. I then proceeded to glue up every lock in the place. Never had a problem from them again.

                                  No doubt. You should suggest to them that they take advantage of the "boycott" to market it in the States under the slogan "real beer from would-be immigrants who decided to stay where they were"... or something. Which reminds me... i haven't had a good stout since my wedding (when i had... a lot of good stout). I should try to find something local.

                                  Don't. See if you can get Coopers there. I know I could get Coopers Sparkling Ale at the Sunset Grill and Tap in Boston (or Cambridge) Massachusetts back in 1999. If you can get the Special Old Stout as opposed to the Extra Stout. Much better and it ages in the bottle like a wine.

                                      Not really, but it was a great show (I used to watch it before you were born. I loved Horshack, though a few years ago I saw him on some Where Are They Now show and he had gotten a nose job. Bloody Poof.

                                        An associate of mine is paying £650 to the local power board to have a second mains electricity feed put in to his house in time for his Christmas lights. Apparently the 100amps available through his current supply won't be enough this year*. It might also explain why his power would often trip off when he turned on the television last Christmas. * 100_amps_... current supply... damn I'm good. You've got to have a very special place in this world when you can afford to have a second electricity supply just for your Christmas lights. :wtf:
