Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

it certainly happens quite a lot though it is not specifically encouraged by Qran

it is or was common among the jews too, and if i researched a little, i'm sure that an element of this was encouraged in the old testament, though there was good reason - eg marrying your brother's widow gave her protection within a small tribal community

There is no inbreeding on marrying your brother's widow

They are related after the first marriage, but there is no genetics inbreeding for the new couple

you're right .... silly me

however, from the little i have quickly dug up, marriage even to first cousins is or was deemed acceptable

No European country prohibits marriage between first cousins. It is also legal throughout Canada and Mexico to marry your cousin. The U.S. is the only western country with cousin marriage restrictions. It is estimated that 20 percent of all couples worldwide are first cousins.

Cousin marriage is common in the Middle East, for instance, where it accounts for over half of all marriages in some countries. In some countries outside that region, it is uncommon but still legal. In others, it is seen as incestuous and is legally prohibited: it is banned in China and Taiwan, North Korea, South Korea, and in less than half of the United States.[

Dumbo,

I didn't know that you and GB were cousins.

Go back to sleep Fred .

Should John Bercow ( point of order ) be HANG?
after his comments about Mr Trump's in the Commons on Monday

Mr Bercow said he was opposed to the president addressing both Houses of Parliament

I thought he should be a referee at the commons so his neutrality was not in evidence at such a time

Bercow wants to worry about what his wife is getting up to ,she is an embarrassment .

Presumably she is straying because he is not well hung..

re - Bercow/embarrassment

certainly there is too much leeway on their relationship

marriage of convenience?

A celebrity once said " I am still young and already married 3 times.
Every individual is different in how they do things, but obviously one of my husbands liked to dress as a woman."

She likes to have balloons for "Tits"

and I have just come across another one on the "oil man" report

And finally…

Very little on the sporting front today, but I am always impressed by the wit of followers of the blog on Twitter.

Yesterday, after the unnecessary intervention of the Speaker of the House of Commons into the Trump debate, I received a Tweet saying, all is not lost regarding the Donald in the Chamber, imagine his surprise when he Googles"'Burcow wife"….

Every day that passes shows how far Sweden have descended on the path to islamisation.

good right wing american source - as usual



meanwhile
i am rather sad that so little of this BB is now used for the dissemination and discussion of company news and info
for example, both RIO and TLW announced results today, but not a peep

no wonder so few remain as regular posters

Why not use the appropriate thread?

Try epic RIO. :-)

i am well aware that i can post, but until harry did so on RIO a couple of minutes back, there was nothing

''good right wing american source - as usual''

More importantly it is true.
2517

not entirely i think
unless i am much mistaken, sweden is no longer nearly as receptive to refugees as it has been for at least 75 years
