Odd how things turn out for the best in the long run ... that little row over the Christmas preiod with International staff is calming down a bit with the introduction of the Pen for Poetry for my goodself from the trade i.e. The Hilton Honours Pen at the Hilton: UK:
However the row about gifts is another chestnut that comes falling on my lap ... this is to do with the amount of money we as citizens of this country are allowed to receive.

dressed up and I am sure he must get the odd present or two from his pals at Christmas if only an old boy network tie! So they say in the best dressed circles.
New
Muslim Mosque for Oxford Spires .. location and completion date planned within the year 2008 in 9 months and the Daily Man writer believes that the noise pollution might be an issue with the Muslim who have a five
times a
day call to
prayer and
existing or co existing in a non muslim setting might mean some form of adjustment to this set up! Afterall its not
Marrakech or even Istanbul!

I found the Islamic call to prayer five times a day melodic and interesting. But then as friends point out I
wasnt there all that long so there wasnt enough time for it to penetrate my brain or affect me either way.
