I remember studying lots of religions in school but when I hear a colleague say she was off for Eid I was like ā€˜again?’. Must learn more.

Ramadan is a month of fasting. It ends with little Eid. A two day feast of thanks if you like.
45 days later we have big Eid. (Although 45 days means maybe 46 or 44 or… because the festival’s are dictated by the lunar calendar…)
Big Eid is a celebration of the Haj, or pilgrimage that every Muslim should make to Mecca.
Yes you should read a bit more, unless you are a staunch Remainer, both are critical pillars of the faith of a large percentage of the planet. Equally, CNN covers Haj in great detail and explain it very well.
Equally everyone should learn more about Buddha and his tooth…
Diwali…
etc etc
Not to be an expert, but to at least understand the significance to people they may deal with at work or in social situations

Absolutely agree in needing to know more as I work with people from all over the world. Just hard to retain it all at times.

Detail is not needed. Only understanding.
I don’t need the detail of a Saints Training Session on Facebook to Understand we do sod all at training every day :lou_eyes_to_sky:

You lost me on football talk.

Sorry I’m late.
I was slightly pickled on Friday night, most of Saturday, Saturday night and a good proportion of Sunday.
I am now on my 3rd gin and tonic as part of my recovery.

Fifth week of the new job. Late finish tonight to get something into production outside of hours. Love my new team. I have a ā€œwork daughterā€. She is the same age as my eldest and I am training her in Jedi Coding. Love all the peeps on my team, actually. We’ve all been charged with delivering something in our boss’ absence; we’re well ahead, and ready to go.

I will be having a celebratory tipple tonight.

Way I read it, our ā€˜interestingly-shirted-cavalier’ seems to spend most nights cruising London Gay Bars, and when this yield little return for his efforts, returns home as the pissed up old tart… there is a melancholy to this tale, a cause for weeping … oh the inhumanity!
