I appreciate under Muslim tradition burial must take place within 24hrs but surely plenty time to take him home Apparently he was blown to pieces when the missile hit so whats in the coffin is anybody's guess. The irony of it is that cremation is strictly forbidden in Islam and considered a sin, and yet there must have been an instantaneous thousands of degree Centigrade when the missile hit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe this tattoo of some Danish cartoon that I got because I found it amusing - well I guess I shouldn't be showing it to everyone when I take my next holiday to Helmand province. Oh well. Thanks for the warning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 War usually breaks out when Cowdenbeath get promoted. Edinburgh City beat Cowdenbeath 2-0 before Christmas. Noble Peace Prize for City, thanks. Ironically if WWIII broke out tomorrow and the football was suspended Alloa would be saved from relegation. Just goes to show that these things even themselves out. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) The thread title is making me think that it would be pretty cool to get a watch with a world war III theme. I found this is on eBay but it's £90 and I can't really justify the extravagance right now...

BawWatchin Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 You'd think Ralstonite would be equally as itching for a war with Iran. A stock market crash is a wonderful investment opportunity for your average fat cat capitalist. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can sell it for £100 when the market inevitably recovers (which it always does because the world wide economy depends on it). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
