Nope, I've got my missus to clean up after.

Yeah but you worked out that there really *is* a world outside the borders it isn't all the made up thing.

I am confused, I thought eid was the end of Ramadan which I thought was in August this year? Excuse my ignorance and happy eid anyway.

All the information is on the following link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha

There are 2 Eids, 1 is the big celebration after fasting, and then there is the 1 above. It's to do with Abraham and his son.

Thanks, that made it a lot more clear. I did not realise there were two.

I like Eid Used to live with a Muslim family and it always meant I'd come home to a massive curry feast and a house full of people as they told me they were supposed to make enough food to give 2/3rds away to friends and family. And "no thanks I've already eaten" was not an acceptable reason to decline

Was tempted to take a trip round there today on the way home but thought that might be taking the !!!! as I haven't spoken to them since I moved out in June (nothing nasty we just live in different areas and the communication is difficult over the phone as they don't speak good English and I speak even worse Pakistani ), now sitting down to my ready meal and thinking I made the wrong choice
