As a JW did you "take a turkey" or accept the Xmas Bonus?
by confusedjw in

i felt it hypocritical to take a turkey abviously meant for thanksgiving.

i didn't like buying the easter candy after easter either as it was "food sacrificed to idols".. years ago at a place i worked they gave out a xmas bonus which i returned.

( a few hundred dollars which we sure could have used) they assured me that it was an "end of the year" bonus.

just registered today after many months of being a silent spectator, hope to tell you a bit about myself in the days/weeks to come, but not just yet.

one step at a time as they say.

UK & IRELAND MAP

2. friends
i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.

All hail Sven Goran Eriksson!

not everyone was happy with a swede at the helm of england's football team.. for followers of english football, defeat is a way of life.

but however hard losing may be, the idea that a foreign coach could turn around england's fortunes was even more depressing.. at least that's how some sports commentators reacted to the appointment of sven goran eriksson to the country's top sporting job.

humiliation enough that a foreign coach has been drafted in to save football's mother country, but that he should be swedish would appear to be a step too far for some.
