“Schlumberger” sacks Two Britons for zoophelia
on Tuesday, December 25 @ 13:18:30 CST
In an unprecedented act of its kind, two British workers from the French oil company “Schlumberger” were sacked following sexual zoophelia on two sheep intended to be sacrificed for the “Eid Al Adhha” – a ritual followed by Muslims in which they slay a sheep to celebrate Abraham’s devotion to god.
This unprecedented act that shocked the people of Hassi Messaoud (southern part of Algeria) took place on the eve of “Eid” celebrations, when the two drunken workers abused two sheep in a warehouse nearby the company’s restaurant.
The two animals were supposed to be sacrificed for 30 foreign workers including Algerians working for other foreign oil companies. Both zoophilous have been surprised dong their heinous act by the restaurant’s workers and some watchmen and immediately denounced them to their mangers.
I can't Understant what happen in the world at this year (2007)

The problem is that the online databases for these papers only go back to either 1986 or 1990. I live thousands of miles from Seattle. Does anyone have any advice on how I could retrieve the articles I am looking for? Is there a research service that I could hire that could retrieve these articles for me? Thank you.

Due to licensing laws they are unable to serve alcohol between 12 midnight and 8am, yet I could travel to a petrol station 200 yards from the store and buy £1000 worth of booze. So it is against the law for Asda to sell booze at 4:30 am but it is perfectly ok for a petrol station where cars turn up to fill up their cars to sell booze. Does that make sense to you?

Ok thats it, Christmas is over, I'm back in action and the gloves come off until justice is done. And the first question Gerry needs to answer is what happened to that bag ?

To the Troll McFanns who cannot do anything other than abuse and come out with the same old nonsence, try answering the questions for once or you waste your time, but then again go ahead make my day.

The McLiars have tried to use Christmas to sentimetalise for PR purposes, has it worked or has there PR nonsence over Christmas put them even lower in the trust ratings ?

I just can't believe how bad BBC1 has been today, I hate all of the programmes it has shown this evening.

Is someone really being paid to come up with:
Shrek2, Eastenders, Dr Who, Eastenders, Strictly Come Dancing.

Time to scrap the tv licence, its not value for money!

That if you are speaking on the phone and mention keywords that have meaning of national security, such as IRA, or Al Qaeda, or Greenham Common for example, the call is automatically recorded by the security services.

Also, all calls to sex phone lines are tapped and recorded and the sexual deviancy of callers recorded and filed for future reference.

The words Paki and Chinky are considered derogatory labels for our cousins from the Asian continent. I now put to you as someone who believes in extra terrestrial life that it is now improper to call spacial visitors Aliens. They are not Aliens. They are Solar relatives and we should welcome them with all the good cheer we can muster.

I say to you. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to our interplanetary neighbours and brothers!

For all of you that don't know the hard plastic problem, it's that some people are saying that if you eat or drink food that was once in a hard plastic container, you could become obese or get cancers. What do think about that?

Should i go on to ask and question at Current Events about people who don't have Internet let alone have money to feed themselves. Even this question is pathetic.

Hi.
this is really random, i know, but it has been bugging me.
I just recieved a Walter Knabe scrapbooking kit for xmas and i was shocked to see, on the back of the box, in an example of what you can do with the kit, they had used a picture of missing child Madeleine. I think that this is discusting.

If anyone knows any info on why she mite be on the box, then I would love to hear from you, thankyou.
