How to kill a Monster and look cool doing it?

published by Seraphim on 20 July, 2013 - 14:27

Okay so one of my counsins whose like 8 has developed this irrational fear that theres a monster in his room and its generally out to "get him".

Now im the cool uncle, what do i do?

a) Tell him he's imagined this as there are no such thing as Monsters. And its just a product of his over-active imagination.

or

b) Play along and pretend to give the "monster" the biggest beating of his life.
or
c) Tell him the worlds full of monster and he needs to learn to confront them someday. So he may aswell start now.

Let me know what you think

Omne ignotum pro magnifico,” (Everything unknown seems magnificent).
 
It all started on a Friday lunch, much like any other week at work. There was the usual last minute work before the weekend set in. The boss was mysteriously (if not atypically) absent due to some illness so there was an atmosphere of relaxation followed by the usual light hearted banter.
 

Anger Management

"The strong are not wrestlers or bodybuilder. The strong are those who can hold back their anger."

Over the course of the last year ive noticed im becoming an angry person. There have been times where i've been absolutely furious with someone. This often leads me to raise my voice and becoming argumentative. Even confrontational where i wont stop till ive had my say or decimated someone.

I dont like doing this. I dont like raising my voice. I dont like saying anything unkind. I dont like going all Bruce Banner on anyone (SEPHY SMASH!!).

Islam the Untold Story

published by Seraphim on 4 November, 2012 - 11:23

A Channel 4 documentary. Historian Tom Holland explores how a new religion - Islam - emerged from the seedbed of the ancient world, and asks what we really know for certain about its rise. Some of it is really crackers and laughable. But maybe thats because we're Muslims and its being told from a non-muslims point of view?

It goes on about how the muslim conquest of all these countries, but theres no proof from the time. Just goes to show how much of history has actually been burried.

Hitched

Basic principles, no matter who, no matter where, anyone has a chance to sweep anyone off their feet. They just need the right broom Wink

A couple of years ago my older brother got hitched, and I can say without a shred of pride that it was mostly down to my mad skills. And there were a few lessons learnt which i think would be best shared.

I will mostly be speaking from personal experience and I appreciate not everyone will be able to approach this situation in the same manner. But in the battle between the mountain and the ocean. The Ocean shall always rise victorious.

Whose awful idea was it to host Euro 2012 in Ukraine anyway?

I had to blink heavily when I read this morning that the British government has elected to boycott the group stages of Euro 2012 because of Ukraine's selective justice regime and continued concerns over racism, homophobia and violence that players, their families and fans alike all seem to have.

Three cheers for the FA and for Number 10 for proving they have spines after all!

Muslims' anger as London Olympics clash with Ramadan

The 2012 London Olympics have been plunged into controversy by the discovery that the Games will clash with Ramadan, the most holy month in the Islamic calendar.

The clash will put Muslim athletes at a disadvantage as they will be expected to fast from sunrise to sunset for the entire duration of the Games.

In 2012, Ramadan will take place from July 21 to August 20, while the Olympics run from July 27 to August 12.

An anticipated 3,000 Muslim competitors are expected to be affected.

The "Huh? I Dont Get It?" Thread

published by Seraphim on 23 November, 2010 - 12:18

Whether it's a joke, a hadith, a scientific article, a math problem or a new cuss (just kidding Blum 3 ), post/link it here and perhaps the wiser revivalers amongst us can help clarify your misunderstanding.

Oh but for Islamic matters please link your sources. And maybe make a separate thread if it is something that requires a whole lot of discussion.

Got it? Good.

I'll go first:

Q. When you're sat in a lecture theatre or at the Cinema, which arm rest is yours? The one on the left or the one on the right???
