What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Greetings at Eid

    IMG_4673 downsized

    Over the last few days there has been a mood of expectation around on Great Western Road where I live and work. Now the feast that so many have been waiting for has come. Today the Muslims in Glasgow are celebrating Eid.

    I’m looking forward to celebrating with the leaders of one of the Muslim communities in Glasgow at a special meal.

    This year the celebrations for Eid fall on the same weekend as the ancient Glasgow Fair, a feast which had its origins within the Christian community of Glasgow. At this time, let Glasgow flourish and may all its citizens celebrate. On behalf of the Christian community I lead, I pray a blessing upon the Muslims of my neighbourhood in Great Western Road, and upon of this city and to the Muslim peoples of the wider world.

    Eid Mubarak.

    I think you mean Alan Cumming – though I’ve never see the Good Wife.

    Alan is certainly Scottish and can be seen along with someone else you know on the front cover of this publication.

      The Good Wife is one of my favorite US TV shows. He plays the part with no detectable accent whatever, unlike his fellow Brit, Archie Panjabi, who speaks with a very proper accent, but from who know where. This past week Alan’s character kissed a girl and they liked it!

        This may come as a revelation:

          So he’s always had bad hair! The Ginger’s cute. Are those natural accents or tuned up a bit?

            Tuned up a bit though you do hear people speak like that.
