Just thought I would enter this on behalf of sp1814, because I think he may be a little shy considering that he has been criticising me for repeating the same stories even though mine were years apart.

Dave, perhaps wanting a double bed was a clue? :o)
I don't know if it would have been a difficult deduction to make. Holding hands, or just two men requesting a double bed rather than two singles?

As an interesting opposite, there was one time I'd booked a hotel room on the outskirts of Paris (we're talking Travelodge equivalent really), and for various reasons the friend I was visiting felt obliged to join me in the room overnight (late, and raining like anything, so she couldn't really go back home so late). We were told, on being handed the key, that the room was two single beds "but you could push them together if you'd prefer?" I guess most people just assume that two people sharing a room together must be planning to sleep together too.

Who is paying the court costs to bring this action when it was 100% obvious that it would fail?
Pure greed by the lawyers who choose to take the case ( and earn a fat fee) even though they MUST have known it was certain to fail.
Eddie, perhaps their lawyers were gay.:o)

/// dave50 - Christians can smell homoexuality from half-a-mile away - I'm surprised you didn't know that! ///

You have entered some valid and interesting debating points during this thread, and then you devalue all those points by entering this rather sarcastic, bigoted and most offensive anti-Christian post, a remark I would come to expect from some ABers but certainly not from you Andy.

Would you have made the same remark against the Muslim faith?

And please don't excuse yourself by making the excuse that you made it in jest, because it was just not funny.
I laughed...
If ever there was a case of
"cutting off your nose to spite your face"
this was it.
I gather the recent 4 cases of Christians against the law were funded by a Christian charity

/// I think the Bulls are practicing 'buffet Christianity'...picking and choosing which tracts to live by. ///

And what 'Buffet' is yours called Sp, seeing that you also chose the extracts from the Bible that fit in with your own argument?
// Just out of interest, how did the proprietors know these two men were gay and not just friends, when they answered the door? //

They were holding hands and wearing sparkly hotpants and leather biker hats.
AOG - "You have entered some valid and interesting debating points during this thread, and then you devalue all those points by entering this rather sarcastic, bigoted and most offensive anti-Christian post, a remark I would come to expect from some ABers but certainly not from you Andy."

My remark was intended as humourous, but I am the first to concede that intention and receipt are not the same thing, so if I offended you, or indeed anyone else, I do apologise.

On reflection, it was a remark more suited to pub conversation than a debate thread, where humour is often not received as intended.

Again, apologies.

// This episode brings to mind a discussion we had here some years ago where, because it was against his beliefs, a Muslim pharmacist refused to serve a customer with a prescription for birth control pills. That was upheld. It seems to me we have to make our minds up. Either the religious have a right to impose their beliefs on other people, or they don’t. //

Good point.

They had obviously just had their Gaydar upgraded...

Apologies accepted Andy, thank you.

Excellent point.

Act one is now over, now for Act 2; A pair of homosexuals arrive (holding hands of course) and request a room with a double bed at a B&B run by a devout Muslim family. How will this pan out?
Who is to say that the devout muslim couple would flout the law of the land and refuse to honour the booking?
Khandro - "Act one is now over, now for Act 2; A pair of homosexuals arrive (holding hands of course) ..."

Why 'holding hands of course'?

Do you actually read your posts before you hit the Sbmit button?
Irresistable force and immovable object spring to mind. I expect we would discover that islam has more clout than christianity, perhaps as much as sword wielding sikhs outside a theatre.
Andy, even brothers don't hold hands.
You haven't even explained why Act One was valid yet. What agenda did the two men have? They just wanted to go somewhere to have a good night's sleep like any other couple. Where is the agenda... and where is the incitement?
