• Boy "chased, assaulted by Muslim students"
• Was eating salami during Ramadan
• Parents withdraw boy from the school

A SYDNEY couple has withdrawn their two children from a public primary school, claiming their 11-year-old son was bullied by Muslim students because he ate a salami sandwich during Ramadan.  Andrew Grigoriou said yesterday he complained to the school and to police after his son Antonios was chased and later assaulted by Muslim students after a confrontation over the contents of his lunch, The Daily Telegraphreports. Antonios, a Year 5 student of Greek-Australian background at Punchbowl Public School in Sydney's southwest, said he and a friend had to be locked inside the library for an hour after being chased by a group of Muslim boys offended by his choice of food while they were fasting. - 17 Comments

Now look what you did Dave!

Nov 21, 2008 - Alright Dave, I'll have you know that everyone in my office is now mad at me. You see, the pictures of the lights on your house infected me. So badly that I brought in my Christmas CD's and much to my own chagrin am now buried knee deep in the damn Christmas Spirit. - 9 Comments

Need help with a Christmas Gift

Nov 14, 2008 - So yesterday I'm over at my Mom's feeding her animals (They are in China for a month) and I notice that while they've got BUNCHES of pictures of my kids, and bunches of my brothers son, they have NO pictures of all three grandkids together. So, for Christmas I'm taking the boys in and having a nice 11x13 portrait done of them as a Christmas gift to my folks. My problem is how to frame it. - 38 Comments
