    I really must get my eyes tested. When I first read the subject of your post I read it as Harry Ramsdens[^] and I suddenly got images of all that succulent fish and chips. With the aromatic steam slowly wafting upwards filling the room with the mouth watering smell. Still, never mind. :-D Happy Ramadan to you and yours too Mustafa.

    I think it's your synapses, not your eyes, that need testing. Regulary brain checkups - they should be mandatory!

        Believe it or not, I have some of Rick Stein's recipes waiting for me to tackle them. He's paint drying but he can certainly cook fish. I wouldn't mind a proper Fish & Chips these days but at the moment, I'll happily kill for a glass of ice cold water. And a happy one to you as well :)

              So it's a transitive version of to live? I like it. I life my canary in a big cage. NASA lifes some astronauts in the ISS English has been missing such a verb for a long time I second the usage of this word!

                Ramadan is a month of fasting from sunup till sundown, where one abstains from food, bad deeds and bad thoughts. It is supposed to remind us of the hardships of others and therefore remind us of humility. Its also there to teach us patience, a lesson that is always good. Though quite a bit on this forum might find it strange, different or even downright hostile, I still wish everyone of you a Happy Ramadan and I hope that the lessons are not lost on anyone.

                Happy Ramadhan Mustafa. We have a fast of around 13 hours here in Pakistan and I don't think it is much of a problem for the majority. ;P

                  How many kilos you lose generally in one month of Ramdan fasting?

                  Usually, you gain. Feasting at night is not good for you. But if you eat properly you'll lose 1-3 in the month.

                          Well, they would fast with the timing of the nearest location that did have a tangible dawn and dusk. IIRC, when we were in Edmonton, Muslims in Yellowknife and Whitehorse would fast according to our local times. I could find out more if you're really that interested.

                          That might mean a 20hr+ fast without drinking! :omg: While I can admire the other aspects of ramadan, dehydrating for so long sound's downright unhealthy (in the "self-destructive" sense, not the "that is totally unhealthy! What if I'm allergic to germs?" unhealthy thing).

                                    That shows that he's basically a boy when it comes to partying. It takes an experienced connoisseur to "manage" a multi-day feast, but it's certainly possible.

                                      There I was planning to visit Jordan and take you out on a lunch party to the restaurant which served the best Mansaf. Mansaf, Mansaf, Mansaf, Mansaf! Happy Ramadan BTW.

                                      A very Happy Ramadan to you my friend! Luckily, I got more Mansaf yesterday from my Wife's Grandmother. She makes the best!)
