'Most unfortunate names' revealed

published by You on 26 February, 2010 - 17:19

What do you call some of the most unlucky people in Britain?

Justin Case, Barb Dwyer and Stan Still.

It sounds like a bad joke, but a study has revealed that there really are unfortunate people with those names in the UK.

Joining them on the list are Terry Bull, Paige Turner, Mary Christmas and Anna Sasin.

And just imagine having to introduce yourself to a crowd as Doug Hole or Hazel Nutt.

The names were uncovered by researchers from parenting group TheBabyWebsite.com after trawling through online telephone records.

Retired airman Stan Still, 76, from Cirencester, Gloucestershire, said his name had been "a blooming millstone around my neck my entire life".

One good deed...

I am probably not the best person to start this...

but the idea is... everyday people do good, people do bad.

But people should do more good and be encouraged for it...

So you can use this thread to write about one good deed that you have either done today or witnessed someone else do and you feel like highlighting.

(Try to limit posting deeds to one a day, but understandably there may be more that you want to highlight)

[quote] French MPs have voted unanimously to make "psychological violence" within a couple an offence punishable by up to three years in prison as part of new measures aimed at improving protection for victims of domestic abuse.

[TV] The Day the Immigrants Left

published by You on 25 February, 2010 - 14:18

Evan Davis presents a programme exploring the effects of immigration in the UK by focusing on Wisbech, a town in Cambridgeshire.

Since 2004 this once prosperous market town has received up to 9,000 immigrants seeking work - the majority from Eastern Europe. But with nearly 2,000 locals unemployed and claiming benefits, many of them blame the foreign workers for their predicament.

To test if the town needs so many foreign workers, immigrant employees are temporarily removed from their jobs, and the work given to the local unemployed. Now the town's British workers have a chance to prove they can do it.

“Whoever initiates a good practice…”

published by You on 25 February, 2010 - 02:04

the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

“Whoever initiates a good practice (sunnah hasanah) in Islam and is emulated by others in doing so will get the reward of it and the reward of all those who act upon it without their rewards being diminished in any respect. And whosoever initiates an evil practice (sunnah sayyi’ah) in Islam and is emulated by others will bear the sin of it and the sin of all those who act on it without their burden being diminished in the least. ”

Do you think voting is the best way to air your voice and bring change?

Is almost everything in life not politics?
