And the winner is......

Salaams,

They are holding a draw at my local bureau where I work. The winner gets a Whitakers Almanack book. I must admit initially I did not know what kind of book it was :oops: until my manager explained its contents. I decided to further research it on the net and came across this website (I was taken back by the Earth clock. Look at the Earth clock, aint it cool)

The draw in itself is free, no money required, just stick your name and they pick one from a hat. The name they pick out will get the book. I really want to stand a chance of winning the book (I dont want to pay £45) but before I enter I need to know would this be a form of gambling?

United v City

Salaams,
Im surprised no one has put this up.
Did anyone watch it?

Citys performance was appalling, they were all over the place and never seem to get control of the ball.

Those of you that watched it what do you think about Ronaldo getting sent off? He didnt do himself any favours by teasing the ref when he got a yellow card.
I think the ref was pretty harsh on him. I cant stand the guy but you got to feel for him.

Any other comments?

Yoga banned for Muslims

[quote]
Malaysia's top Islamic body have issued an edict that prohibits Muslims from practising yoga, saying that elements of Hinduism in the ancient Indian exercise could corrupt them.

The National Fatwa Council's chairman, Abdul Shukor Husin, said many Muslims fail to understand that yoga's ultimate aim is to be one with a god of a different religion - an explanation disputed by many practitioners who say yoga need not have a religious element.

"We are of the view that yoga, which originates from Hinduism, combines physical exercise, religious elements, chanting and worshipping for the purpose of achieving inner peace and ultimately to be one with god," Abdul Shukor said.
