    Happy belated Diwali everyone!

    BTW sikhs celebrate diwali too although for a different reason*

    You will be pleased to know you are encouraged to gamble and drink during diwali - as you can imagine twas most fun getting smashed and losing all my money!

    *Different reason:
    "Diwali is also a Sikh festival. It particular it celebrates the release from prison of the sixth guru, Hargobind, in 1619. Sikhs had celebrated Diwali for many years before that and the foundation stone of the Golden Temple at Amritsar, the holiest place in the Sikh world, was laid on Diwali in 1577.

    Hereth end the history lesson for today.

    Also belated Eid Mubarak to all the NT Muslims.
