Digby.
As for the maths. There are mathematic 'theories' on both sides, they are not the same as mathematical facts. I asked for maths.

Hollande, Obama, Clinton, Henandez, Temer, Duterte, Zuma, el-Sisi, King Salman, Netanyahu - and a certain fellow over here who shall remain nameless in case his spies are watching 

If they're good enough to play at World Cups, why not in between?

George Osborne will be relieved he's omitted. The only up side to his sacking other than the time to join the lecture circuit.
Green gets my vote.

Henry Kissinger; he should be pretty much near the top , if not at the top, of any list of the most odious and despicable 'human' beings of all time.

Sure, but he's drooling away in some geriatric home right now and probably not capable of doing much more damage to the world. If we start including past Dickheads in this pageant we're gonna be here all day!Curry Puff wrote:Henry Kissinger; he should be pretty much near the top , if not at the top, of any list of the most odious and despicable 'human' beings of all time.

The guy who connected loudspeakers to minarets. The Call to Prayer (which I used to like listening to, though I'm not religious at all) is now being played at about a zillion decables and they've even added one at 4:30am lately just for good measure. That's real nice when you have a mosque next door.

You mean that no one has ever bought you several of those call to prayer alarm clocks and hidden them in your room to go off at hourly intervals throughout the night?rowan wrote:The guy who connected loudspeakers to minarets.

Re: Dickhead of the year...
That's pretty much what it's like. I invested in an MP3 player a while ago just to block out the noise when I was reading, but I can't exactly wear it in my sleep. This has becoming about the most annoying aspect of living here as Islam makes its big comeback. Otherwise, can't complain...

Re: Dickhead of the year...
We did some research in the office today and, guess what, it turns out the all-new, louder-than-thunder, two-hours-before-dawn Call to Prayer is entirely bogus. The rules state you are permitted five Calls to Prayer a day between dawn and dusk. But Turkey has introduced a sixth Call to Prayer - two hours before dawn. That's clearly a red card.
