Car owners forum.
Devout materialism, willy-waving & spirituality aren't the most obvious bedfellows.
Yeah, but wouldn't it be nice if people could just not be assholes to each other?

Don't get me wrong, and as the most learned philosopher, Madonna once said... "we are living in a material world, and I am a material girl" but it would be nice to have separation of church and church and state (church being cars, church being faith/lacktheof and state being the country, naturally)

Just saying....

I advise anyone that does it to see a mental health doctor.

And support for this cult given the recent attack In Manchester, shame on you.
Go away.

Agreed.

Incredible dedication given the long spring/summer days.

Let at least this one thread be one of support for those observing Ramadan. Best of luck guys. smile

I'm fine without food and water but I'm finding cigarettes a bit challenging. I've went from smoking 30 a day to just 3 in the evening. At times I get close to losing my patience with some people and their attitudes but I take a deep breath and remember that it's all about self improvement. I can't make other people better but I can make myself better. Maybe by the end of the week I'll try to kick the cigarettes completely.

Is no cigarettes a personal thing or part of Ramadan?

I thought it was about food and drink?

No smoking in Ramadan. Depending on which imam you listen to, some will tell you smoking is haram all the time. But honestly, I'm doing it for myself and my kid as much as anything. I don't want to be old and sick and have to have my kid take care of me or watch me suffer.

I reckon that I could do the food part OK but would really struggle with water especially at this time of year. Anyway, good luck to everyone doing it and remember eventually it'll eventually get round to happening in December, it'll be a piece of piss then!

41deg c here today. I had water and plenty of it. Slept in the car for an hour at lunch with the ac on as well.

There seems to be a bloody big canon somewhere near my apartment as well which fires at sunset.

Thanks. Done. No pace and hardwork trying to get the legs moving. But I think that is the issue with the headaches and wanting to do anything (low hr, not enough oxygen). It is easier being at work as the HR is naturally higher. Got back and had a couple of hours sleep.

Things that need to be done:
1) Fix corroded battery terminal on car
2) Second training session
3) Cut grass
4) Fix bicycle
5) Take kids out
6) Take wife out
7) Do some stretching
8) Gym session
9) Loads of other stuff

A good friend invited me to join him and others for an evening of cigars at his club on Friday.
Sadly I couldn't make it.
It was only yesterday when this thread appeared that I made the connection between 'the big smoke in the Smoke' and the calendar smile

Not my bag really (happily atheist here), but it's obviously very important to you guys doing it, so all the best, hope it goes well.

I advise you to take a long, hard look at yourself and your disgusting outlook on the world.

That was my personal view.

Now to put my Manchester hat on. We do not share your view. Islam is not a cult, Daesh is, wind your neck in and do one. Shame on you.
Or what, you'll stone me to death? Throw me from the top of a mountain? Behead me while live streaming to the world? Beat up the women in my life who don't want to dress like Darth Vader?

I will respect Islam when Islam respects me, but given it goes against everything I stand for (peace, freedom, tolerance, you know the good things in life) I won't expect it to be anytime soon.
