People are occasionally described as ‘mushrooms’, meaning that they have been kept in the dark and fed on manure (that’s the polite version).

We are through Ramadan and Eid Mubarak has been called which means that Muslims can now get back to eating during the day instead of eating all night. ‘Oh’, I hear you say, you thought that they fasted? Well, no, not exactly. If you missed the fact that Ramadan has been upon us then you
