Good try but unless the one behind the pole has 4 legs then there's 8 in frame, and I suspect the one on the right is chatting to another Penguin.

Not only 4 legs, but an extra arm - and a long one at that! I wonder if this pic qualifies for a Trump Fake News Award?

At first glance I thought from the left, the first one was rolling a joint, the next one sculling a beer and the next having a drag on the previously rolled joint with the other 2 waiting their turn while the 2 at the far right were keeping a lookout. The third from right is either praying that they won't get caught or trying to act innocent.

Your not so innocent youth is becoming apparent.

The middle one on the right has that longing look, wondering why she isn't getting any.

On a 'Sort of' related NUN topic, Big Daughter just regaled a little story to me and Mrs P this morning, . .when I went to see if I could perhaps 'Hire' my triple aluminium ladder back for a job at home. . ( She 'Borrowed' it in 2016. . .)

 

She works for Birmingham local Govt, in traffic management . . . she said that whilst out on a survey just outside of the City centre, She witnessed what she said was an amusing sight. . . a NUN, had apparently suffered a vehicle breakdown in the centre of the A38 three lane road out of town, around fifty yards short of the absolutely Huge Mosque building there.

 

She said it was hilarious seeing several fully Burkha clad ladies helping the Nun to push her vehicle across the road and onto a safe area of pavement out of the traffic flow. She reckoned that there were numerous menfolk standing on the pedestrian walkway, dressed in their flowing Pyjama robes; watching this activity but seemingly offering NO physical assistance whatsoever ! ( Women's work ? )

 

Daughter said that perhaps the Islamic ladies thought of the Nun, dressed as she was, very similarly to them. . as some kind of kindred spirit, albeit a Christian one. . . .I commented that this seemed good for religious community cohesion ? ?

 

It's gotta start somewhere I guess. . .

Anyway - on a Non - Nun subject,. . . Major Social Media outrage, that Cadbury's. . now American owned ( Kraft Foods I think. . ) Have removed the words 'EASTER EGG' from their wide range of. . .Easter Egg products, the rationale being ( apparently anyway ) to preclude complaints from religious minorities. . . Obviously, nowadays, there is very little religious association with these products if at all. . . so I wonder why they bothered really. . . . anyway, the 'Protesters' are up in arms and suggesting a boycott of all Cadbury's products. . . . .! ( what a surprise ! )

I wonder if the "Protesters" would be willing to forgo the public holidays on the Friday before and the Monday after the weekend on which the religious commemoration is made? If they did, would they also work at 'normal time" rates and refuse public holiday rates of pay?

capitulation to halal.

How's dropping the word "Easter" a capitulation to halal? Why pick one non-christian religion and assume they're doing it for them?

 

 

[Marty_d]

If not, why drop it? They've been referred to as Easter Eggs for ages without upsetting any of the other non-Christian religions, all of a sudden it's a no-no.

FALSE: Cadbury Has Banned the Word 'Easter'

 

Myth busted. Some products have had the word removed, but according to a Cadbury spokesperson, only where it's bleedin' obvious that the product is an easter egg. Lots more products still feature the word.

 

“Most of our Easter eggs don’t say Easter or egg on the front as we don’t feel the need to tell people this — it is very obvious through the packaging that it is an Easter egg,” said the unnamed spokesperson, who denied that political or religious correctness is behind the move.

 

I would argue that if they were truly afraid of upsetting a muslim minority by the sale of confectionary around the time of another religion's holiday, (which is laughable when you think about it logically), they'd stop producing the actual product rather than removing a word from the packaging.

Too many Christian crosses on that tie, it needs a few sickle moons and stars to be politically correct.
