    World Nick Clegg: 'Cleggmania' Sweeps Britain, Liberal Democrats Surge In Polls - But Tails OFF As They Fo

    Re: Nick Clegg: 'Cleggmania' Sweeps Britain, Liberal Democrats Surge In Polls I agree with you. I can't see Vince Cable and George Osbourne being friends for long. The Banks are already fearful of cable, as he has stated that he is going to break up the so-called 'Super Banks', and if the...

    Going To Gurudwara Very First Time!

    Re: Going to Gurudwara Very First Time I suppose blessing is far more efficacious than luck anyway! I'll post tomorrow and tell you how it went.

    Going To Gurudwara Very First Time!

    Re: Going to Gurudwara Very First Time I'm meeting my friend in Glasgow tomorrow for dinner at 5pm, so before that I'm going to visit the Gurdwara! I haven't planned anything, but figure if I go about 3pm, it shouldn't be too busy and it'll give me a feel for the place before I go next Sunday...

    World Nick Clegg: 'Cleggmania' Sweeps Britain, Liberal Democrats Surge In Polls - But Tails OFF As They Fo

    Re: Nick Clegg: 'Cleggmania' Sweeps Britain, Liberal Democrats Surge In Polls BBC news this morning reported that the LIb Dems have went down 3% in the opinion polls, all of which went to Labour! Clegg's lust for power and the ease with which he climbed into bed with the Conservatives is...

    Going To Gurudwara Very First Time!

    Re: First time Lee, thank you so much for your kind words. I'm one of these people that hates approaching others, but I know that in this situation I will definitely have to. Especially if I want to begin following Sikhi in all things - I can't be a lone practitioner or make myself seem...

    Going To Gurudwara Very First Time!

    Re: Going to Gurudwara Very First Time Guys, I just called the Gurdwara that I was hoping to go to and the guy who answered only spoke Hindi and Punjabi, so not to be perturbed I called the larger Gurdwara, the one I wasn't really wanting to go to. I spoke to a really nice gentleman (the...

    Going To Gurudwara Very First Time!

    Re: Going to Gurudwara Very First Time Tejwant Singh - There are four Gurdwaras in Glasgow, so I may not meet that man personally. However, his children you speak of: Hardeep is the writer. He is also a broadcaster, and you always see him on TV wearing his turban with a kilt. He's famous for...

    Going To Gurudwara Very First Time!

    Re: Going to Gurudwara Very First Time I'm getting an image now and it's making me smile, so I'll keep that in mind for when I go along! I'm looking forward to it! You're always nervous first time you do something you've never done before. I'll just keep saying prayers to keep my attention off...

    Going To Gurudwara Very First Time!

    Re: Going to Gurudwara Very First Time Many thanks! As I said in an earlier post, I have to be in Glasgow (which is where the Gurdwara is) on Monday, so if I could arrange to speak with someone then just to go over my worries, etc then that would probably help me a lot. I'll make a call and...

    Going To Gurudwara Very First Time!

    Re: Going to Gurudwara Very First Time I do have respect for SGGS - I want to follow Sikhi, as my faith and way of life! Hence, why I obviously have to go to Gurdwara - 'the highest and the most beneficial deed is the Lord's praise the holy congregation' If I can ask, if someone goes to...

    Going To Gurudwara Very First Time!

    Re: Going to Gurudwara Very First Time As it's my first time do I have to go and bow to the SGGS? I know it's respectful but I don't want to make a fool of myself, particularly as I'll be going alone and so will have no-one to keep me right. Why are things so difficult??? lol

    Going To Gurudwara Very First Time!

    Re: Going to Gurudwara Very First Time I hate crowds - I never used to, it's just in the last few years that I've kind of retreated into myself. This will no doubt be a good way of reclaiming my confidence. In relation to your post about the 'speaking english' if I call - that was why I was...

    Going To Gurudwara Very First Time!

    Re: Going to Gurudwara Very First Time Mai Harinder Kaur - Yeah, there is defo a phone....I think! lol I'm going to maybe pop in on a weekday first when I have time, so that it's not too busy (hopefully) just to get a feel for the place and the lie of the land! I'm hoping that there is...

    Going To Gurudwara Very First Time!

    Re: Going to Gurudwara Very First Time I'm surprised they do not have a website either. But, Ballym, I live in Scotland not England (two very different countries although they are joined together in a union)- so it wouldn't make much difference if English Sikhs did know IT.
