    I got all that wrong. According to net sources anyway. What do they know? It was Sikhandin who changed and the war was only 18 days. It is only 20 years since I read it as a boy too.

    I read it. Drawing a comparison between "Bob Shawadiwadi" (a lying, incompetent off-shorer) and Hindus/Sikhs in this country is unfair. Bob is a figure of fun.

    Used to read loads of mythology as a boy and Indian myth and legend was brill, better than boring Greek/Roman, not quite as good as Norse though. Arjuna the bowman, born a women became a man, can't recall if it said how. And there was a hundred years war, or was it a thousand? forget now but lots of slaying.

    Last couple of days my neighbour has had tea lights and pictures on the floor tiles outside his door in our shared lobby (I'm in a flat). Looked quite charming and last night he was nice enough to ask me if I minded.

    I shall look forward to "Bob Shawadiwadi" logging on here on New Years Eve to complain about the noise.

    Happy Diwali!



    (Do us all a favour and show the chavs when to pack it in with the fireworks by not setting them off after midnight, eh? Then maybe we'll all get a decent night's sleep around 5th November. Thanks. )
    Happy Diwali to you too!!

    I ate so much curry and drank so much beer tonight I'm glad I don't have to climb any stairs to get to bed

    Ah Yes. That explains all the fireworks going off round here tonight. And I thought it was just local kids being arseholes.

    Oh hang about. That the wrong lot. They are all Muslims in this neck of the woods. Maybe I was right first time.
