Wow! I urge you to never get into a religious discussion at a dinner party it's clearly not your strong suit. ;)

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:

Context interpretation being what it is, i just assume anything i post here that's taken as an insult will - at most - result in the declaration of a fatwa against a PC somewhere. :rolleyes:

10 PRINT 'HELLO MAINTAINER: GOTO HELLGood grief, that must be a lot of lights! :omg: Where we used to live, people would have unofficial contests to see if they could make their house be the showiest on the block, and slathered lights all over their house and yard (eaves and on top of the roof, on the garage door, up and down the walls, around the windows, on trees, bushes, and fences, lighted 'statues', etc, all at once), and I don't think any of them had to put in a new line.

10 PRINT 'HELLO MAINTAINER: GOTO HELLThere is a street in town where they have the biggest house lighting displays that I've ever seen. One of the houses just has lights still in the boxes taped to the house, so you just get this intense glowing wall effect. They also stuff bottles full of lights and put them all over. The end of the tour is lights wrapped around the electric meter which is just spinning like crazy. Another house has lights setup on timers to do a 2 minute volcanic eruption. None of the houses have any Chrismas themes in any of the lights, it's lights for the sake of putting up lights.

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.

Defenitely not, been calling it that for the past few years. Everytime I heard the news talk about it all I could think of was the song from the end of Grease.

I've never heard anyone round here call it that either, matter of fact, I get weird looks when I say it.

True, I bought the boxed set for the Missus, haven't watch it yet even though I got it last Christmas.

Ramadan started on 23rd Sept. I am working in UAE at the moment and over here, you dont get any food between 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. All hotels closed, you cant eat anything in public. Your not allowed to eat stuff in the office, your not allowed to drink water also. Thankfully some hotels got permission to give parcels and we requested our office management to buy a rice cooker and thats been saving us. Kind of gets tough, but when your in Rome you need to be a Roman and religious sentiments is something that has to be respected.
