vyvyanxYay! G has a job! After 5 months of unemployment, the jobcentre have decided to take him on themselves, to process giros :-)
In other news, I was accosted yesterday (in a polite way) by an evangelical Moslem, who gave me a short tract on the scientific accuracy of the Qur'an, and invited me to visit a local mosque for free food and drink. I was quite surprised - I've only ever been approached by Christians of various types before (and a Hare Krishna bloke several years ago). Still, I guess Mill Road is the place to find evangelical Moslems in Cambridge, if they're going to be anywhere!

Date: 2002-08-29 08:57 am (UTC)What amuses me was that the variant I'd always heard was the "the Christians did it" one,with the "the Muslims did it" quoted as an instance of libel; but it seems that Gibbon may have made that up too. Anyway I have a complete set of The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire on my shelves waiting for me to get round to reading; I wonder what else he made up?
