Thorny
Here’s my response to the Daily Posts’ prompt: thorny.. 😉 Actually, I have been dealing with a thorny situation, as in these 2 meanings of the word… 4. painful; vexatious:a thorny predicament. 5. full of difficulties, complexities, or controversial points: a thorny question. As all my long term peeps know by now, I’ve been stuggling to find work since I was laid off by Ocean Rig in September…

The Muslim players in World Cup teams that have qualified for the second round in Brazil face a thorny question on Sunday when much of the Islamic world will start observing the holy month of Ramadan with a dawn to dusk fast. The question is trickiest for the Algerian team, which faces a mighty contest in the form of a formidable German side on Monday. ''We need to discuss it amongst ourselves,'' said Algerian player Djamel Mesbah. ''It's clear that our religion is very important for the team, so we will talk about it and see how to go forward.'' Athletes in the Olympics in 2012 faced the same hurdle, with many teams allowing their players to eat during Ramadan so as not to impair their performance and make up for it at another time or make donations to charity.

Lebanon's new cross-party government, formed last month, adopted a political programme Saturday after reaching a compromise over the thorny question of the arsenal of Hezbollah, one of the coalition's members. The Shiite movement, known as the "resistance" because of its opposition to Israel, never disarmed after Lebanon's 15-year civil war ended in 1990, and its military power rivals that of the army. The group sent its fighters into neighbouring Syria last year to support Bashar al-Assad, fuelling tensions in multi-confessional Lebanon, where many support the Sunni-led rebellion against the Syrian president. Hezbollah insists its arms are necessary for protecting Lebanon from Israel, but detractors argue that its arsenal allows it to impose its will on the country. Source: AFP
