Are all you Argies going to join your fellow South American members and almost a third of the world's population in celebrating Commonwealth day?

We celebrated Commonwealth Day at work today.

We had a multi-faith Church service, followed by authentic food from around the Commonwealth, all of which was delicious, with dishes from the Gambia, Mauritius, India, South Africa etc...

Then some members of our staff from Commonwealth countries gave us all a bit of history and background from their home countries. A good time was had by all.

Happy Commonwealth Day to all! :D

Well, as a good atheist I went for a two hour ride on my Suzuki GSX1250FA and enjoyed myself immensely.

The weather was great; no side wind to cause me to drop speed and the countryside was lovely.

Then I took my rescue dog, had her two months now, for a nice little walk to help her build her confidence after a group of drugged up bastards had thrown hot water from a thermos all over her head and scalded her: don't know if the hair will grow back but we are doing everything we can to treat the patches.

Good job it happened in MVD, if it were local it might have been an eye for an eye and then some.

So, had a great day without the hallelujah chorus and the happi-clappi brigade from Nigeria, et al.

See, no need to worry about ‘The Wrath Of God’ if I ‘transgress’ some imaginary slight that is supposed to bring sulphur and brimstone down on me!

Peace (check the link if you dare).

Try chloromycetin cream if you can get it locally, stuff works wonders.
