WEDDING TO BE MEMORABLE
An unfortunate double booking at England’s Alton Towers theme park:
A couple’s plans for a £5,000 wedding at Alton Towers were thrown into confusion yesterday after it emerged that the theme park had double booked them with a fun day for 20,000 Muslims.
On the bright side: at least this’ll keep the bar tab down.
Stuff that for a joke.
The bridal party and wedding guests should wear whatever they like on the day and go on whatever rides they like together - anything less is discrimination.
Alton Towers should be sued and so should Islamic Leisure (an oxymoron?)
If the Muslims don’t like it, then they really should have made a complete private booking of the theme park.
Frankly, I’ve had enough.

Pull all of your troops back to England Tony Blair, you will need the for the defense of the homeland, that is if your people haven’t convinced you to sign the dhimmi form.
We in the U.S. aren’t any better, are we George. Geneva Convention rules for WHAT?
Filthy death cultists? George, you once had balls, better find them again, elsewise the same dhimmi form next signed, will be by you.
This probably means the pig-on-a-spit is off the cards too, right?

I’ll answer as well, YOU...fine, just fine. Await my return home to see my lovely wife, family and country. Oh yeah, how’s that damn beer fund coming along?
ME... Yes and you will be welcomed as a hero by your lovely wife, family and country. Beer fund is great it has passed the 20 U.S. Dollar mark, I’ll have you know…LOL.
El Cid, I read that SecDef said that the Geneva Convention has always been followed in Iraq. Iraq is a country, America is a country, so Geneva applies.
I don’t agree that this is the way it ought to be the case once the government of Iraq fell. Especially when we found foreign compatants in the place.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t agree that Bush has lost his nerve. His better instincts have been blunted by those “practical” career bureaucrats and officials.

‘Tis true good person, ‘tis true. One could see it coming for a while. The constant and vicious whipsaw (didn’t do enough and/or leave now, you’ve lost GWB) attacks by the Left, didn’t help either.
Maybe a good strong John Howard, giving the good strong Margaret Thatcher, “now is not the time to go wobbly, George” speech will reverse the course.
That Islamic Leisure sounds like both an oxymoron AND a bunch of morons…
i wonder what that collection of fanatics do to kick back and enjoy themselves…. i’m sure the odd faux stoning of some effigy of well known western leaders must get a geurnsey… (or however its spelt) flag burning would also be popular of course… along with other fun and games such as molotov cocktail throwing contests…
u have to do do these things to not only bring your community together, but to stay in practice in case some infidel really steps out of line or the odd embassy needs torching…
of course holding some sort of potentially christian ceremony in the midst of these unbalanced cranks is probably not the most sensible thing to do… i hope this Alton Towers has some good insurance in case it ends up looking like Baghdad or something…
Go thing they didn’t double book with these events.
NEW! The BN Alton Towers Naturist Weekend

Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2006 07 12 at 04:01 AM • permalinkand so lets get this straight, this couple booked the place months ago if not a year or whatever, and this bunch of johnny-come-lately fruitcakes comes along and thinks they can just impose their requirements on all the other booked guests of this place do they???
Believing that they and their own guests had the complex almost to themselves, Islamic Leisure drew up a list of requirements.
so they knew they didn’t have an exclusive booking, but just expected that whoever else was around would conform to their archaic restrictions???
this really is the thin edge of the wedge… you know its total BS when you try and think about any other groups in the community who tried this crap and how many lawsuits for discrimination they’d be hit with, or protests they would provoke….
I reckon the happy couple should sue for peace.
Alton Towers obviously were too busy looking at the $ signs (can’t do pounds or euros on my kb)instead of the calendar.
Posted by Nilknarf Arbed on 2006 07 12 at 04:24 AM • permalinki guess in the grand tradition of dhimmitude, perhaps they could pay this Islamic group to be allowed to proceed with their day as they choose, and it not have unpleasent repercussions???
in O/T news in a sign that these Islamic militant groups must think the rest of us are just as big a pack of gullible fools as the brain washed masses they claim to represent, Lashkar-e-Taiba have claimed they had nothing to do with the mumbai train bombing:
“These are inhuman and barbaric acts. Islam does not permit the killing of innocent people,” a man who identified himself as “Doctor Ghaznavi”, spokesman of the Lashkar-e-Taiba said.
dah!!!
hmmm, i hope there isn’t a miniature train thing at this fun park… these mussies start frothing at the mouth these days when trains and infidels start being mentioned….
#20 MarshallD what the hell for? Have you ever seen this country? Its a shit hole. It has 5 kinds of weather and all of them suck (wet and muddy, still, cold and windy, hot and windy, hot windy and sandy) Its filthy, the local food sucks, and every building is made from mud. Men openly have sex with farm animals. The people sit and wait for the Coalition to do EVERYTHING for them and bitch because things aren’t being done quick enough to suit them. What kind of theme park would you suggest and who would go to it?
It would be more fun if it were a stag party. Boozing and strippers would go so well with the muzzies. I hope those people film the Islamo-fest and release it on the internet.

Hash!!!!.Posted by Torontosteve on 2006 07 12 at 07:33 AM • permalinkJust imagine if a bright-eyed Muslim couple got hitched at the Alton Towers theme park on an ordinary day.
To soothe native sensitivities, they’d be obliged to peel off their robes for sure… and join the bikini mud-wrestling, hog hollerin’ and boozy BBQ camaraderie of any other anglo-yankee-skip multicultural event.
Wouldn’t they?
Spyder,
I agree, the compensation payable will be big. Over here in the UK you need to book a year ahead to get a wedding venue, and with the first year of the gay civil partnerships in full swing, there will be an even bigger strain on capacity.
The question is: who sent the guests letters telling them to cover up? When I got married (over here), I don’t remember giving the reception place the names and addresses of guests. Is that normal practice? If Alton Towers claim that the wedding party were exempt from covering up, who sent the letters?
Remember the line from the Office:
Interviewer (to David Brent): have you ever had a major disappointment in your life.
Brent: yeah, Alton Towers. It’s rubbish.
Posted by Effing & Blinding on 2006 07 12 at 08:54 AM • permalinkBelieving that they and their own guests had the complex almost to themselves, Islamic Leisure drew up a list of requirements.These included the provision of prayer areas and bans on music, alcohol and gambling. In the Muslim tradition, women would also need to cover their bodies, as well as going on rides separately to their menfolk.
Oh, the sheer, Babylonian wantoness of it all! I suppose there will be clowns for the kiddies? A little car filled with tiny caliphs, all decked out in mock suicide belts that “explode” with paper streamers and confetti?Truth to tell, sounds more like “Puritans Take Wrong Turn, Land in Vegas”. Picture, say, the men-only “Corkscrew of Death” roller coaster ride, filled with scowling, bearded faces, whirling mirthlessly through the air. Or the women-only Merry-Go-Round, suggesting an equine supply train laden with pup tents. Good times!
Political correctness removes gender:
An Alton Towers spokesman said staff would be discussing “the options available” with the couple.
She claimed it was a condition of the Islamic Leisure booking that wedding and hotel guests would be exempt from the Muslim dress code.
Apparently the “spokesman” is a spokeswoman (or spokesperson, or spokesentity). Or perhaps [s]he is transgendered, in which case I hope she shows up at the park on Leisure-suited Muslim day.
Interesting if true that the “condition” that was required of the Muslim group was so quickly ignored in writing up their list of requirements. And yeah, who sent the letters?
Speaking of doubling up..and I do humbly apologise if I am wrong..
7.30 Report had as a guest expert to comment on the sad and shocking Mumbai train bombings, Dr Samira Yasmeen -an academic representing U.W.A.
I rather thought Ms Yasmeen was a muslim.
Would that not make her an unusual choice to seek out for her views?
Incidentally,deepest sympathy to family and friends of the victims.One Christian wedding, 20,000 Muslims. They’ll hear the explosion in Edinburgh.
In the US, the couple would OWN that park after the lawsuit.
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 07 12 at 10:53 AM • permalinko/t A young Irish couple scaled THREE safety barriers to get up close and personal with three tigers in Dublin Zoo.
The woman then pushed her arm through a heavy chain link fence and the tiger (said the keeper)“did what tigers do” and bit her.
The keeper said the woman was lucky to be able to withdraw her arm because tigers normally do not let go.Wow #22, I’m in Brisbane listening to John Lee Hooker on the ipod and pissing myself laughing at the link on your post. Firstly how did you know a theme park review blog existed? Secondly how did you find out about the Egyptian theme park? As we say in some parts of Oz, what a pisser! For the few who know what it means, that place looks like Ack and Beer block after the great bish of Romani in 82!
Posted by platey mates on 2006 07 12 at 11:19 AM • permalinkYaseen Patel, the organisation’s director, confirmed: “The body will have to be covered, (though) they do not have to wear the hijab.”
How delightfully vague. I suppose it means no shorts or tank tops (for the women, men get a pass), but after all it will be September in England, so shorts weather is iffy at best. Obviously it also means no form-fitting jeans or slacks for women. So, it’s the shapeless Palestinian overcoat for you, ladies. No hijab? How tolerant. Of course that could mean they want you to go for the full burqa.
My litigious American heart says sue the pants off Alton Towers and bad-mouth them forever after to anyone who will listen.
#39, RebeccaH,
They said that the women’s bodies must be covered. They didn’t say covered in what. Sounds like a challenge to the women in the wedding party. If it were my wedding, I’d make sure the challenge was met. Since they don’t have to wear the hajib, it could be gold paint, a la Pussy Galore. Or spandex. Or delicate Irish lace. Remember that see-through outfit Cher almost wore to the Oscars several years ago? Put a veil over the butt, and it would make a nice wedding dress/thingy.
Just a thought.
It is time to take a stand for every individuals rights against privileged underdogs.
Why is it that when I read Alton Towers, I think of Fawlty Towers? At least, I do now.

Posted by Harry Eagar on 2006 07 12 at 02:16 PM • permalink#49: Something similar happened in Richmond not long ago, at the popular Maymont Park. As I recall, a woman took her son into a restricted area, right near a fence that served to enclose one end of the black bear exhibit, the kid supposedly got bitten, and the City of Richmond had the bear destroyed (which is apparently inevitable when they check for rabies). Turns out the bear didn’t have rabies and the kid’s injury didn’t even break the skin. In fact, I think they destroyed both bears. Big public outcry.
Well, this is all a great argument for church marriages, as opposed to having them in theme parks and zoos and such.

Slightly OT
We have just received Cheerios over here, advertisements on TV enthuse about their various grains, etc, and how nice they are for breakfast with milk.Hmm. In Queensland cheerios are cocktail franks (cocktail weenies)... I did a double take when I first heard the avert!
#37
She won’t be doing that again, silly bitch.
#50
Shoulda shot the kid, and it’s parent/s.
Never take a Muslim fishing.
Take two.
(If you take one, he’ll drink all your beer.)

The article says “...[the couple] have been told that if they go ahead with the ceremony they will not be allowed to go on celebratory rides together.
“Furthermore, Miss Morris and her female guests will have to cover up to be in line with guests of Islamic Leisure wearing hijabs.”
It’s not Aprils Fools Day or something?
