Had a great time in Pattaya and I hope Poj the Cat (named after my special thai friend) bring much joy.

He has three hearts; one from me, and each from my boy and girl, Joey and Nicky. I am part of Big Brother here in in US and Nicky and Joey are my little brother and sister,. They lost their dad last year. We went to Build a Bear together to pick out the toy for me to bring to the bear drive.

She asked her class of six- and seven-year-olds to dress up and name a teddy bear, and keep a diary of his outings. She hoped it would provide material for projects for the rest of the year. And it might have, except for the name the children chose for their bear: Muhammad.

Now Gillian Gibbons, 54, is spending her second night in a Sudanese prison, accused of insulting Islam's Prophet. She faces a public lashing or up to six months in prison if found guilty on charges of blasphemy. And Unity High School тАФ one of a number of exclusive British-run schools in the Sudanese capital тАФ has been closed as staff fear reprisals from Islamic extremists.

[krobbie]

The pics of the bears on pg report are great. I felt warm all over. Great job to all the organisers and those that donated bears and money or assisted with the appeal. You should feel well chuffed.

CHEERS!

... whether its name is Mohammed?

profiteering = earring shaped like Mohammed

or

I ordered a Mail Order Bride. I was offered what I thought was the widow of Lord Boy. She certainly had a lot of surprises.

From this weeks I'm Sorry I haven't a clue BBC Radio 4

[PinkSilom]

In protest against the Sudanese government, I have called my penis Mohammed. As an ongoing protest, I give it forty strokes every day.

If I buy a bear for 200 baht, call it Mohammed, then sell it for 500 baht. Have I made a profit?
