In light of the Prophet's Birthday, it's been declared that Friday 3rd February will be a dry night also to include no live entertainments etc.

Check listings to see when events scheduled for that night are being rearranged.

Well it won't be so dry in the Dillon household as Feb 03rd is my birthday as well! it will be a Roast Beef and Yorkshire lunch, Pimm's at three, a couple of Bishop's fingers for my tea and I'll be finishing off the day with lashings of Cameron Brig, a very good friend of mine.

Happy birthday Dillon!

Dillon , Hehehe have a good one. Ahhh Pimm's - *runs to make a pitcher*.

So much for Billy Ocean then.

benwj, Yes, you'd need a few drinks before suffering another performance from that old fart wouldn't you?

benwj , No it'll just be moved to Saturday.

What a great honour to share a birthdate with a great man. I bet Mohammed is well proud!

I shall save my Best Wishes for the big day.

FYI - The Prophet's birthday is actually the 5th. Some sects celebrate it on the 4th others on the 9th. The Government has choen the 3rd to be the dry night. They pick and choose the holidays as they see fit, regardless of the actual date. It's always been that way.

Although JC's birthday is celebrated on the same date each year I think there is (or as been) controversy about the actual date.

Ambassador , LOL we know JC wasn't born on the 25th December. Plus these celebrations were taking place long before JC came into the picture. It was originally pagan celebrations of the winter solstice.
