golf Charlie,
The restrictions placed on Lucifer on using fossil fuels (imposed by the hoards of holier-than-thou Greens) has resulted in Hell experiencing an overall cooling. Lilith (Hell's Ayla equivalent?) reports that climate scientists (confined to the deepest levels and forced perpetually to play hockey with broken sticks and moving goalposts) predict a 97% certainty that Hell has experienced a 1oC temperature drop implying that, over several millennia, Hell may indeed freeze. Sh+t levels are falling at unappreciated rates, and demon migration routes have changed with the most fearsome ghouls now rarely seen because of the severe mild conditions. Deniers (in Purgatory?) argue these changes are natural.
You should be alright (in the Arctic?) with layered clothing.

While things are quiet at BH towers, here's a plug for Shub's article about how the SKS crew wrote their own Wikipedia article and used themselves as references.

Talking about scams that went on for ages before being stopped : The news is on about the guy who sold bits of wire to Iraqis and other military making $10m +

Strange that people who follow dogma have dissonance
- Like the do as I say not as I do irony of those flying on Eco-evangelising projects
or that Muslim chappie, one would think that aggressive killing is always wrong
..but also is going around in groups groping women is wrong whether it's Ramadam or not.

Dung, does he give any kind of prediction about when hell is going to freeze over? We have been assured by Global Warming experts that according to their computer aided fabrications, the Arctic is going to thaw all over, and so I am not sure which clothes to pack.

Letter from some French chappy with letters after his name writing to Angus McNeal at the Energy & Climate Change Comission ^.^ is at http://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons-committees/energy-and-climate-change/Correspondence/correspondence-fncs-chair-edf-hinkly-c-130616.pdf
Basically he says that Hinckley Point will get built when hell freezes over hehe

lapogus, some of the nicest people I know are from the green-gaia-pacifist-hippy camp. They are appalled by the atrocities carried out under the banner of their religion. They may be a fairly nutty, and sometimes a bit fruity, but they are otherwise harmless.

GC/SG & AK:
As you mentioned Ramadan, did anyone see this?
Asad Dhunna - a gay Muslim: "To kill someone during Ramadan is not halal"https://inews.co.uk/opinion/comment/gay-muslim-im-torn-apart-orlando-shooting/
"I would not call this man a Muslim. To kill someone during Ramadan is not halal. This month is a time for reflection, it’s a time of looking around us and being thankful for what we have, it’s a time for breaking bread with others. It’s not a time to commit hate crime."
So it is okay to commit hate crime the rest of the year? The more I learn about Islam the more I fear for the future of northern Europe.

Islam allows the 'rules' of Ramadan to be adjusted as required, but it is of note that the NHS has found it necessary to publish some medical advice
http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Healthyramadan/Pages/faqs.aspx
A UK based Muslim Arab GP I knew in the 90s made some very scathing comments (off the record) about all sorts of medical conditions deteriorating due to bad advice from Muslim Clerics. As a GP, his opinions were only sought after things had gone wrong.
Ramadan shifts through the calendar. Fasting through daylight hours is fairly constant in equatorial regions. Summer Ramadan in Northern Europe is not good, though a winter Ramadan is a bit of a doddle nearer the Arctic Circle.
I am not a Muslim.

stewgreen, I don't think the deranged homicidal maniac in Orlando had been accused of groping women, and if he had, under Sharia law, the women would have been found guilty.
