I came across a strange article entitled “Let us F%$king Pray” about how one church is now using Gordon Ramsay’s life story to re-inforce the “word of god’. Have you ever met a religious person who couldn’t swing any story around to being a case for THEIR god?

The article appeared in Scotland on Sunday at the following link http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/uk/Let-us-f6437ing-pray-Ramsay.4911049.jp

While the article is somewhat funny (and doesn’t mention accusations by Sarah Symonds of infidelity) the highlight is the part on how to obey the laws of Gordon

Gordon Ramsay’s 10 Commandments:

1 In my kitchen you will do as you are f****** well told.

2 Thou shall not use my image (unless I have signed a five-year merchandising deal with your chief executive).

3 Do not claim anything in my shows was staged or I will sue thy sorry arse for all it is worth.

4 Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbour (unless it’s that bloody arse of a food critic AA Gill).

5 Thou shall not worship false gods like Delia Smith, Nigella Lawson or Heston Blumenthal.

6 Thou shall not refer me to as “craggy faced”. I’m rugged and manly.

7 Respect your elders, apart from that stuck-up old tart Joan Collins.

8 You may only curse or blaspheme on days of the week that end with a ‘y’.

9 Be respectful to vegetarians and always remove their sandals before basting them with brown sugar and serving them up for dinner.

10 Be kind to lesser beings. Dispatch cockroaches, snooping tabloid journalists and restaurant reviewers humanely.

The comments below are a little funny – and littered with bad arguement supporting why god exists (guess where I sit on this one!!) My favourite logical fallacy is the false Dichotomy – in this case if you can’t explain who X happened then it musy be (my) god.

Anyway while I stop short of calling Gordon Ramsay a god, I’m happy to continue to worship in my own little way!

For the second time in as many years, reports are that Gordon Ramsay will be again involved in the Great British Food Fight.

The Channel 4 show from the UK will continue following the “eat ethically’ theme and will again feature Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Jamie Oliver alongside Gordon Ramsay as well as the newest recruit -Heston Blumenthal.

Gordon Ramsay’s contribution will be a call for Brits to start patronising local restaurants. Gordon will also be bringing his restaurant running experience to the aid of local eateries who are struggling with the current economic client. Unfortunately, it won’t be in time to save one of his Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares’ restaurants who have already succombed. See Another Gordon Ramsay lover Goes Under for the details on that one!

Gordon Ramsay also Has another new showing coming in 2009 Ramsay’s Great British Nightmare, which sounds like it has a similar theme to his contribution to the aforementioned show. It may even be part of the show, the reports on the web and the Channel 4 site are a little confusing.

For a full wrap of the program and how the four star chefs will be contributing, go to the source – Channel 4 at their website.

The show airs in January and will no doubt be hitting the torrents and youtube shortly after, so the rest of the planet can enjoy it!
