Wonderful – a case of the biter bit – good!
I am not at all pro-zionist (to put it mildly), however I had to admire the sense of humour of the Israeli contractors involved…
I think that the Jews have had ‘the bum’s rush’ for long enough – good luck to them!
Ha, ha – brings a new perspective to the old ‘Jewish Jokes.’ 😀
The trouble is that the star was put there when Israel and Iran were allies. Not very polite to insult your friends in that way.
And what, Sipu, is insulting about the Star of David?
It is, or jolly well should be, on the top of every Xmas tree worldwide this month.
Zen,
I have never placed a star of david atop the xmas tree. Usually it is some unfotunate fairy who gets the douglas fir suppository. 🙂
I thought the front wheelers didn’t do chrimbo anyhoo.
Sorry and all that, Ferret old bean, but ‘front wheelers’ is from ‘bikes’ which is from ‘kikes’ which is a tad offensive, to say the least. The Chariot is not an anti-Jewish blogsite. 🙄
Actually ol’ ursine one, its from Front Wheel Skids ergo Yids.
Now if Towel Tops and Bible Thumpers is OK, whats up with Yid?
I am in no way anti jewish Bearsy. Thats unfair.
Why am I not surprised that you have to ask? I will write this slowly for you so that you are able to understand. What is insulting about the Star of David is the circumstances in which it was painted/erected. Iran is and was a predominantly Muslim country. The Israeli engineers were taking the piss. Its one thing to do that to your enemies, another to do it to your allies. Would you not be insulted if, knowing your atheistic beliefs, the fellow decorating your house, painted a large crucifix on your roof and a sign saying “Jesus is Lord”?
However,
If you are offended by it, please feel free to delete it.
It’s no skin off my small furry nose honest. 🙂
Deleted by Boadicea.
Don’t know what the fuss is all about, it was on the invoice.
I didn’t say you were, Ferret, I objected to the term you used. But no matter, I shall remove my comment.
Sipu,
That hypocrite is also my friend. I have learned a lot of things thank you very much. One of them is how not to go spoiling for a fight every 5 mins.
Like I said Bearsy, I do not have the power to remove it. If you are offended that was not my intention. Please feel free to delete it and of course these subsequent comments which would look silly if they weren’t there. 🙂
It is however rhyming slang for Yid and not your interpretation. Even the Jews use the term Yidds to describe themselves.

Still, offence is in the eye of the beholder therefore I apologise.
Apology not required, Ferret, mate. The overlaid semantic baggage in the terms ‘Yid’ and ‘kike’ was obviously stronger where I was brought up than it was in your neck of the woods. No harm done, I trust. 😎
Bloody Poms
None at all chum. 🙂
Nice one OMG. 🙂
From one goy to another, Ferret -“Mazletof”! [Mazal tov] 😀
Extract from Wiki (yes, I know …) –
So you pays your money and takes your choice, I guess.
Thank you Bearsy.
Interesting, mazal in Hebrew and mazel in Yiddish.
Anyhoo back to my ill phrased, original point.
I thought the Jews didn’t do chrimbo.
Agreed – they don’t!!
Then a star of david on a xmas tree would be like sticking a bishops mitre on the green man.
I prefer the fairy …
Thats your business Bearsy and nobody elses. 🙂
Right, that was fun: who shall we ‘do’ next?
Anyone fancy a mince pie?
No, that’s got me stumped Val, mince pie? what race or religion is that slang for?
None as far as I know OMG, hopefully anyway 🙂
Ok, I fancy a mince pie to go with my afternoon coffee.
Oh, I give up! I log in, read the post and immediately scuttle off to fetch the pork scratchings and a few cold ones, plump up the cushions and settle back to watch a good scrap. And then what? Bloody peace breaks out again, that’s what!
Damn!
🙂

Pork Scratchings? I’m somewhat averse to snacks that have hairs sprouting from them, I think I would rather have one of Val’s mince pies.
I have some food old fashioned bread pudding with my cuppa tea. Anyone like a slice?
Always up for a slice Pseu.
OMG – I’ve never had much of a sweet fang myself. Anyway, a bit of bristle never hurt anyone although I should have specified that I’m talking about proper home-roasted pork crackling with bits of boar still attached, not the indeterminate contents of those horrible little bags you buy in pubs.
OZ
Ooh, bread pudding, my favourite.
Zang
If you are talking about home cooked pork crackling then lead me to it, the stuff sold in pubs gives me the willies.
Oh Dear! What did I start here? For someone whose motto is never wrestle with pigs – they enjoy it, and beside you get filthy, I seem to have stirred up a right old barnstorm without trying…
Val!!!!
I had this conflict with WW over the other place years back.
They are NOT mince pies. They are little pastry cups full of squirrel vomit!
If you are unsure what a mince pie is, go to Greggs. Grrrrrr. 🙂
