Off Topic Spurlock's Ramadan Diary 2018

You know often, I tell the lads, when we having our private chats that you're not invited to, that

'Tel, is just a brother from another mother'

 

6 pack of Quavers
Sour wine gums
Kinder Egg
Chips
Irn Bru
6 Marlboro gold
And a ****

Iftar of kings.

 

I'm about to get my eat on so laters to you lot

 

Enjoy your snickers Fan Fam.

 

Salah through on goal 1 on 1 and spots a hotdog in the crowd

 

In Ireland the tradition is for adults to give up booze for the duration; it's too much for many, so it's just as well St Patrick's day falls around the middle of Lent - giving everyone a day off the self-denial.

 

Where's the drunken crow thing avatar Archers? Not happy at all, I want it back!

 

@brb stop ****ing with my username thingy!

Yes I have only just realised.

 

One of my old managers was this woman who was a Catholic converted to judaism

She used to always "know" how everyone felt. So if you had a disabled relative she "knew" as she was disabled and if you were fasting she "knew" what it was like

Her disability? Dyslexia

Her lent thing? A weekend of no chocolate

 

We have to change our avatars to some female representing the culture of the country Libby fixed us up with, in the sweepstake

 

Doubt that was Lent.

 

Drinky Crow has been replaced by a Japanese "wid ya" for the duration of the WC

 

Day 2 about to start.

So far getting the kids up for suhur has been the hardest thing

**Suhur = morning meal

 

As its so early in the morning there do you all go back to sleep after sholat? I eat at 3.30pm, read a bit, pray at 4.40. read a bit more then get ready for work at 5.45-6.00 getting in at 7.00-7.15 ( as we start at 0730 during Ramadan). Hate that feeling when you go back to sleep after eating and your stomach is struggling to digest what you have eaten when you wake up.

 

I don't sleep until after suhur, so after iftari stay up and read etc

After suhur I pray salah (sholat) and then do go to bed but just to chill a bit before falling a sleep around 6 ish. I work in the late afternoon into the evening so it works for me.

My main work of property development I put on hold

 

Sounds like you have it sussed. Can't do that here with work but weekends here work out quite similar. Iftar (Buaka Puasa here) is often a big deal at the weekends with all the hotels putting on big buffets to take the extended family to. Starts off with snacks, pray and then onto a proper meal. All restaurants are full as well with people sat there waiting to break fast and then everyone wants their food at once - its absolute mayhem.

 

As long as he's coming back.

 

Cue all the Liverpool fans studying frantically to find out how many practising Muslims are in the Madrid team

 

Top idea. I'm on it.
