yeah but it is the eleventh anniversary
which doesnt really fit in / chime in with any time scheme

also it was Eid last night - end of Ramadan
and not a squeak on the lines of 'go out and have fun ( admittedly non alcoholic fun ) it is like Xmas or Diwali ....get out onto the streets and pardy !"

that's not entirely true PP - there was certainly a huuuuuuuge party in Birmingham yesterday - http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/31-amazing-pictures-eid-celebrations-11576031

it was covered by the BBC too; look up Midlands today on the BBC i-player (I can't link it, links here to i-player don't work).

v muted in Manch Mushie
like it didnt occur ( in the christian meedja like the Beeb )

[naomi24]

I didn't forget.

[jourdain2]

Nor did I, Bazile.

[Svejk]

*** Eid.

[Jackdaw33]

Now, now, Svejk, mustn't upset the followers of Islam.

[NoMercy]

A young couple I knew from my younger days were sadly killed in the bombings.

[naomi24]

Svejk, I'll second that.
