Here is someone (form Reading funnily enough) who is finding it so difficult to find something to get upset about, they have to imagine them.
This is from the BBC message board in the topic regarding the boring situation on Celeb Big Brother where people are allegedly being racist.
"I don't watch television, but the impression I garner from the article is that Shilpa Shetty is a far better human being than any other in the spotlight at the moment. [ThomsonsPier], Reading, United Kingdom"
Personally, I don’t watch American Football, but I reckon that they Dallas Cowboys always cheat.
What don’t you watch that you can have an unfounded opinion on?
I have had a little tidy up of the page. I made the banner at the top a bit bigger so the page doesn’t look so messy when I post picture that is a little too wide. I got rid of some bits from the side bar that I didn’t like any more. I have added some lovely separating lines to the side bar and finally got it so that all of the links a not under lined.
This is the story of a guest house in Ulster who’s owner, Adrian Watson believes in "total tolerance to the gay community", just not in his b+b. The reasons he gives for this are:
The father of three said the business was based in the family home, and his wife, a Christian, could be upset.
Well, you know what these gays are like, no doubt they will be bumming each other over the breakfast table while the other guests are tucking in to their boiled eggs. Or perhaps the sight of a man using moisturiser or carefully colour co-ordinating their outfit to go with their luggage is offensive to Christians?
"It is difficult because my 14-year-old daughter helps out immensely. And the obvious question: 'Why are two men, or why are two women in a double room?'"
I can see the problem. I think they easiest way to deal with this is that is to say “they would have got two rooms, but the only have one hot water bottle so they had to share”. If you did say “they are a gay couple” I dare say his daughter would either go in to shock and have a seizure, or worse, head straight out the door to get a crew cut, purple dungarees, a pair of comfortable shoes and a Charlene Spiteri poster
However Mr Watson did say what people did in their private lives was "entirely their own business and I have no difficulty with that". I believe that he also has no problems with what dogs and blacks get up to in their private lives (in this case I think we can take Irish as a given).
To the real point of this article.
I am far from the worlds biggest fan of religion, particularly when it is used to provide credibility camouflage to bigots. If you don’t like gays, and you don’t want them to stay in your b+b then say so, don’t mince around pretending that you are doing what the bible tells you to do.

Is it just me, or dose he look like he may bat for the other side anyway?
Imagine that your eyes had been removed as a child because of cancer. Imagine how you may cope with this disability. If you copy a fraction as well as this kid, you are doing very will indeed.
If this where a comic book, he would be DareDevil.
This is an image of the Earth taken by the voyager probe as it headed out in to deep space in 1990. It’s the tiny little dot between the two white lines.
I thought this was quite interesting, but after I read the following passage it had a whole other meaning. This was during a talk given by Carl Sagan in which he used photo :
"We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.
The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity -- in all this vastness -- there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It's been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."
