In Jewish and Islamic religions the pig is considered an unclean animal as laid out in the old testament the bible. (but that's getting way off topic)
Not just pigs, in Judaism, all sorts of other animals. Shellfish is out, for example. In fact, it's an inclusive list, rather than an exclusive one, you can eat something that swims if it has scales and gills, for example (so no whale, or shellfish) and you can eat an animal if it has cloven hoofs and chews the cud (cows are OK).
Bits of all animals are not Kosher - no blood allowed. It has to be killed in a certain way. And you can't mix meat and milk at the same meal, or within 4 hours of each other....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I could not work in London, to many people, stupid charges for being able to drive your car and to expensive property.:rolleyes:
I imagine they would, there has been quite a bit in the news recently about the explorations at Dunwich, didn't they find the church over the weekend?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
My greatest wish would be for religious types to read up on anthropology and psychology rather than blindly adhering to ancient texts cobbled together over centuries by men with strong vested imperitives. Would end much conflict around the world. :T
I am reading a fantastic book at the moment called, "The Bible: a biography", which shows which bits in the Torah and New Testament were written when, for what reason, and who wrote them. It's fascinating....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
I have always thought there had to be a really good explanation underlyingthe bible. I need to read that. Oh, and fix my family tree to include them and claim some back-royalties!0

Very kind.
The first time we ended up in Great Yarmouth which wasn't quite what we were looking for. I think 'Great' is ancient East Anglian for 'Dreadful'
The second time we discovered Snape and ended up staying in the pub for a couple of nights where we went for lunch. We went for a drive the next morning and I saw a sign and had vaguely heard of Dunwich but couldn't think why so we popped along to see if it was an interesting place. It was if you like that sort of thing. Which I do.
You are right about Yarmouth being dreadful, they think they are like skeggy etc.
Next time you are around and if you like bird watching minsmere is very nice and if you fancy a warm swim in the sea visit sizewell.0 -
Oh my god I am agreeing with Pickles.
Yarmouth=horrible. Skeggy=worse.
Swimming near nuclear power stations=delightfully warm.0 -

:rotfl:Things like Genesis 6:13A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.0 -
The bad debt our banks bought from our US neighbours was a con. In the US if you can no longer pay your mortgage you can hand back the keys and walk away debt free. No negative equity! No one chasing you to recover debt despite selling your house under your feet at a below market value as happened in our last recession.
Ah very interesting - I gather our former colonials don't recognise "a full repairing lease" any more than they know what "Boxing Day" is?0 -

its probably not as sophisticated but the bible for dummies and the idiots guide to islam are great books. they explain the context that the stories and theories were written in and why0
