    Muslim / Gypsy burial conflict - The facts

    Yes, that's my point exactly - just for people to note it as injustice / disparity in our society, discuss it, and move on. But it seems too many people have to see everything either as a 'message for' or and 'attack on' whatever the subject matter is. And these people are SCARED to let any...

    Muslim / Gypsy burial conflict - The facts

    Er, The Muslims DID complain. It appears that the council were never considering exhumation, that bit was added on, but the "representations" were received and confirmed by the council. It is not clarified if the Muslims wanted exhumation or not.

    Muslim / Gypsy burial conflict - The facts

    The facts are in the thread, done to a death a thousand times, posted above etc. My conclusion is just common sense and based on anyone's experience of muslim + the verified facts of this particular case. But of course that's not good enough for the left wing internet warrior, who, on...

    Muslim / Gypsy burial conflict - The facts

    What utter drivel. 1. I'm not a bigot - I take a fair minded view of issues regardless of the race / colour etc of the participants. 2. To say my conclusion above is a "second guess" is ridiculous.

    Muslim / Gypsy burial conflict - The facts

    This post is being thrust under people's noses like it's the lost enigma piece. As far as I can tell, the only issue the council are objecting to is the claim they were considering exhumation. That's it. It's still a fact that the muslim family complained to the council. It's still most...

    Car crash - claiming for expenses

    The woman tried to make off after denting your car. There is no way in hell she's going to wear 'a bit extra' for 'compensation for time off work' etc. If you try that she'll tell you to claim the insurance. She's motivated solely by self interest. I would suggest you'd be able to get her to...

    Muslim Tolerance - Not Even in Death

    Skillful exploration of the issues. But the fact remains, that this is racial/religious intolerance. It doesn't suddenly become palatable just because it's under the banner of religious beliefs.

    Muslim Tolerance - Not Even in Death

    3 is not conjecture, they (the cemetery) have called up a very recently bereaved family and asked them to move plots, and then go on to ask them sell them a plot back so they can install a hedge. It's pretty clear they're taking it seriously. I'd also say it was pretty understood the...

    Muslim Tolerance - Not Even in Death

    We know some facts - 1. both old boys are now interred in the ground alongside one another. 2. The muslim family don't want the gypsy man there. 3. the cemetery are taking the muslim families complaint seriously. I think it's fair to say that both the cemetery and the muslim...

    Muslim Tolerance - Not Even in Death

    If it were a white family objecting to a muslim being buried next to their relative purely because of race or religion, the pressure on the white family to back down and apologise would be enormous, and they would be named in the paper, photos of them leaving the house etc. As it is, the...

    Weird phone problem

    "one way transmission" In most cases, changing the phone of the affected user fixes the problem. The rest of the time it's a problem in the exchange equipment.

    Issues drilling into 1949 house plaster

    If you use an SDS drill with dewalt masonry sds bits, and have it on hammer action, with a little pressure on the drill it should go through the brick no problem and your plugs will grip that even if the plaster is crumbly. Not sure what drill bit you bought for £15, as an SDS+ 5.5 bit is...

    Stephen Fry & God

    Think it's a moot point whether it's 'man made' or not, surely the buck stops with god, being an outcome of his creation. doesn't say anything in the bible about stopping the industrial revolution, or e numbers in fizzy drinks.

    Stephen Fry & God

    Only royalty were mummified, so the scientists have been testing samples of the best genetic specimens of the time, not the whole population, who may have been riddled with cancer but turned into worm food in short order.

    Stephen Fry & God

    You must be debating low-calibre religous zelots lol. Their answer to that is usually that it's in the bible, which is the word of god. Begs the question of how do they know that as fact though. lol.

    Expecting too much from a cordless combi drill?

    I have the makita accessory set you linked as well as a tic tack box of pozi's in my van. If you want something that will serve you well, make the job easier and last a long time, buy the wera kit I linked - there is simply no comparison in quality. I saved lots of money and frustration since I...

    Expecting too much from a cordless combi drill?

    it's probably what big all said about the wrong bit being used. i have tried to drive pozi with a philips head before when i dropped my bit and it's a doable but a bit of an ordeal, bit like you're describing. cheap pozi bits will chew early and cam out too. I would recommend you buy these...

    Need a quote of alteration works charged by builder

    Meant the OP. He thought they were nice to accept all the extra work he was giving them, so maybe got a bit more 'creative' than he would've done if he'd known he was paying.
