Any alcohol will give you a hangover.

No, he's just in the papers saying the Life of Brian would be lost on todays audience because no one knows the bible anymore, which is a mixture of religious arrogance and a nice little dig at Christians losing the faith.
His appointment in 2009 must be the mother of all high points of political correctness, Muslims are 3% of British religious culture, but somehow he was targeted as the best man for the job.
Though they have appointed an atheist as well in another similar role which as much as I think that's funny is just plain taking the piss.

We should appoint Christians, infact, Christians should be teachers, lawyers, bankers, everything.

There should be a -everyone- else category who does the manual jobs for half the minimum wage.

Which is true, oh and fixed that for you too

 

[Raven]

The bible is redundant and rightfully so.

 

[Job]

He is a practicing Muslim, which means he fundamentaly does not believe Jesus was the son of Christ and that is the core of Christian belief, so the guy in charge of representing Christians and promoting their values through the BBC thinks it's complete bag of shite and in fact he follows a religion that thinks we are infidel dogs who deserve to die.
I know everyone picks and chooses from the holy books to fit in with modern values, but the belief that we are lower than dogs is the core of Islam, obviously put in there to brainwash the idiots in the holy wars.
The bible is not redundant, maybe in the UK, but it represents a truth or at least a reference point for one of the most powerful countries on earth, we have just waged several crusade wars against Muslims on the back of it's teachings.
Tony nutball Blair is now a practicing catlick and a fuckin peace envoy

The BBC is not a Christian channel. He is not there to represent Christian beliefs. I think you will also find proper Muslims (not the kind you read about in the Mail) welcome other faiths.

 

[Job]

No and that's why he can at least be in charge, but it just ain't right considering the alleged amount of Christians in this country, it's like putting Jeremy Clarkson in charge of gay rights.

It's like putting you in charge of foreign affairs.

Wow, i must be a Muslim then

I know everyone picks and chooses from the holy books to fit in with modern values

Erm...not everyone

The percentage is around 55% Christian of which most are probably not practising Christians. How many people go to your local church...when was the last time you went to a church not for a wedding, Christening or funeral?

Frankly, who cares who is in charge of some dying institution (religion) at another dying institution (The BBC) ?

 

[Access Denied]

I don't know much about Islam. Having said that I DO know that Jesus is a prophet in that religion. He's just not the last one which is where the faiths differ. Whether or not they believe he is the son of God I don't know. The vast majority of Muslim people I know welcome as friends, those of other faiths..

Oh, and Jeremy Clarkson wasn't anti-gay last time I checked. Job you're being more of a bell-end than usual.

 

[Raven]

Jeremy Clarkson is a character, one that makes him a fuckton of money. Also, he isn't openly racist, anti-gay or any other form of dickeshness, it would end his career tomorrow.

No, lack of hydration gives you a headache. Crap Alcoholic drinks make you feel like shit. = a hang over.

I had 3 bottles of wine last night, woke up at 6am, clear as a bell.

 

[Olgaline]

Holy crap!
3 bottles would give me a hangover no matter the price or quality of the wine.

Oh btw Bonus Question!
How many here have had a real blackout ? I can honestly say never, no matter how drunk I've been I have never experienced a true blackout, blurred memories ? yes sure. But never ever an actual black out/ prolonged memory gap of whats happened while drinking.

I don't blackout, I have once, for about half a hour (so I was told)

But I have a friend who black outs every time she gets drunk.

Makes things fun in the morning.

When I say "last night" I started drinking at about 3pm and stopped midnightish so over quite a long period of time, with a big dinner in-between.

Lost a couple of hours at the last work Xmas party. I remember Jaeger bombs coming out then I remember being at home.

I tend to not get that hammered these days, I just don't see the point.

Situational on person as well. Alcohol gives you a hangover. Quality has nothing to do with it, quantity does.

 

[Olgaline]

My point is this:
I can always remember all the places I've been, The mood at the place all the people I've met(maybe not by name or face, but I can remember meeting them), How we/I got from A-B and C E & Z.
If we/I stopped for food etc.... Thus also why I find it truly fascinating when people talk about blackouts, because I just don't get it, so to speak.

I've sometimes also suspected that some people use it as an excuse (to avoid talking about the past night)

Fair enough

As in you truelly have no clue of what happend, or as in it's all abit fuzzy? Huge difference in my world.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yeah i've had my share of blackouts. You're just drunk and act as you would drunk. It's just a lack of memory and sometimes it's good that it's erased

The memory is completely gone btw, not fuzzy or skipping, just gone.

 

[Raven]

Fair enough

I mean I have no idea what happened. Been told I didn't do anything silly and was actually coherent so not overly bothered. Apparently it was me that ordered the taxis too.

I don't touch spirits now when I have already had a few glasses of wines or pints.

.

Yeah drink those 3 bottles in two hours and come tell me how you're not hungover the next day, then we can talk how quality means no hangover

 

[Olgaline]

I can honestly say that I find that facinating, I just wonder why our brain is programmed that way, what's the point/benefit?

Some people who have never had an alcohol-related blackout themselves don't believe they actually happen. They don't see how someone could carry on a detailed argument or behave outrageously and not remember a thing about it. They think blackouts are convenient excuses.

That would be me...

We know that what too much alcohol actually does is trigger a chemical reaction in the brain that blocks its ability to learn and form new memories. The brain cells continue to process information and communicate with each other, but are not capable of forming new memories. Alcohol interferes with the NMDA receptors in the brain that transmit glutamate, which carries signals between neurons. Alcohol affects some neurons differently than others -- it inhibits some and later activates others, causing them to manufacture steroids that inhibit memory formation. The steroids produced by the alcohol-affected neurons inhibit the brain's long-term potentiation (LTP), a process that usually strengthens the connections between neurons which is critical for learning and memory. The alcohol-induced steroids interfere with synaptic plasticity in the brain’s hippocampus, the underlying mechanism of memory formation.

Hmm..so steroids eh ?

 

[old.Tohtori]

Disagreed all you want Raven, i'm right

"The severity of a hangover is related to the blood alcohol level you reach, how rapidly you drink, and the amount you drink," said Dennis Twombly, program director of the Division of Neuroscience and Behavior at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). "After the alcohol has been cleared from the system, a hangover can last for 8 to 24 hours, depending on how much you've consumed."
