Funnily enough, I have no friends by the name of Dorothy, but the label seems to be attached.

One of the other Muskets once pointed out, when a lady started getting rather attached to me at a conference, that I "bowl from the pavilion end."

Regarding the op. Respecting cultures is a two way thing. We have utensils, plates, pans, a BBQ etc that is only used for halal meat as we have many Muslim friends. That said, I am aware of course that those who take their faith seriously have an inbuilt problem with Kris and I being a gay couple, but respect being what it is, they don't preach religious bigotry as our guests and we don't, despite the fantasy of one particular nasty sod on Mudcat and his lies, try to fuck them.

Being offended can be offensive if you don't keep your trap shut...
