It's not looking at all well in Egypt. EH's post about women being attacked in the street made very scarey reading indeed.

What's happening to the world?

Hi BM, I am back, fora short while. Hi Herve. Welcome back to DF. It's nice to see you back. --- Wed Feb 01, 2012 3:57 am --- “So many of my friends have been forcefully married off against their will to their cousins or other men chosen by their families. These women have been suffering for years ...

It reminded me of the thousands (probably millions) of British taxpayers money spent on protecting Salman Rushdie after the Satanic Verses was published. Not a good way to spend Shafiques taxes that he tells us he pays. LOL

Stop trolling eh - we're waiting for herve's response. Lets all ignore your topic from now on and we won't give you a platform for your rantings. Herve hurt you pretty bad it seems. It must really grate on you when you thnk back to your condesending little replies to the female Gertrude were actual...

WOW just Wow You really need to stop posting here and seek counselling or some other professional help. Were you there to witness the handbags at 40 paces? I rarely believe all of what I read in the newspapers. --- Wed Feb 01, 2012 10:26 am --- You may be correct BM. After all the husband was Arab-...

Thanks for the clarification Dillon. I had visions of a fish with a flank.

No.

Well I haven't heard it called that before but now you mention it.

I think I will nominate you as a guest Dillon. Can you remember the price of your first single? I'm sure they were around 6s 8d. I had to think how to write 6s and 8d there! I remember that as that was what my parents used to buy me for my birthday, every year. I think we must have been a bit posher...

Ah Tony, I see that you are one of those small minded people who think that anyone who enjoys a social drink is a drunkard. No guessing what religion you are!

Nucleus ,

What stuff? It's the Muslims issuing the threats in this topic.

It's a while since I've heard an infidel threatening anyone with death over a song

Radiogrammes and Stereogrammes, very 60’s and very collectable today, Blaupunkt I believe was the brand of choice in those days I don't remember the make of our radiogramme but do remember that our first record player was an Alba. I think that make is still around and is sold in Argos. Top notch ge...

tony89 ,

Dont preach to me about drinking tony, save it for someone who cares

tony89 , They weren't strong remarks about Sharjah Tony, I just said I thought it shabby compared to Dubai. If you like it then fine, I don't dislike it. Not everyone who has a drink is verging on the alcoholic Tony. BTW I don't like drunkards on the street either, that's one of the reasons I enjoy...

Home is even better where you can have a bottle of wine or four Chardonnay, a comfortable chair and a good friend. Awesome! --- Thu Feb 02, 2012 1:05 am --- Well, you'll have to put up with me for awhile longer BM! If you insist Zonker. --- Thu Feb 02, 2012 1:07 am --- I'll be stopping my bad habit...

In the US if you ignore a court date, you may be given a second date. If you fail to show then an arrest warrant goes out for defying a court order, especially when it involves an assault on another person Exactly what happens in the uk, Bora, but it isn't automatically jail time, as Choc stated. W...

It happens in Dubai, London and every other city that allows public drinking anywhere round the world. You could control them but you can't eliminate them. Have you ever noticed the number of patroling police around SZR on weekends? The temp checkpoints around the area? You missed that bit out of y...

People don't eat pearl necklaces tony. I was just being a bit naughty. My source of nutrients is a lot nicer that a mouthful of tuna.

I like this person.

The anti terrorist squad uncovered their plot to leave a bomb in the London Stock Exchange at Christmas 2010. They were also followed to the London Eye, Westminster Abbey. Big Ben, the US Embassy, the home's of two rabbis and the home of the Mayor of London. All nine men, who ranged in age from 19 t...

Does anyone have a copy of the accused's version of events?

I'd still like to hear the accused's version of events. Just for fairness. I have to say that I have been witness to a few fights in my time and never once have I seen someone knocked unconcious by a punch to the back of the head. I take it the man who was punched was sitting down eating and the acc...

zonker ,

Oh sorry Zonker. When you said someone was going to kill you, it made me think of the 'I'm happily married but I wander a bit' post.

My bad.

I watched an interesting discussion on breakfast telly this morning while eating my porridge. Of those surveyed, 10% of men said they had checked up on their wives or partner by reading their emails or checking their mobile phone and 60% of women admitted doing the same. Now, I find myself in the mi...

Why Chocs? Were you there to witness the alleged assault?

I would hardly describe fisticuffs in Ikea over a spare seat a horrific crime Chocs. Lets keep it real should we?

Wrong topic Shaft aka dearjohn

I may be wrong but I dont think the tape recording was presented to the Court as an original recording of the conversation.

Lets not get into personal attacks Chocs You know how you freak out if anyone says more than boo to you and besides, andy doesnt like it! I still think you are blowing everything out of proportion. im with ben. lets have Round 2. --- 1 seconds ago --- May be you and I could stage a Ladies match? ---...

I went to a wedding yesterday, it was a very long day, the ceremony was at midday and we partied till after midnight. The bride and groom had their first dance to Wonderful Tonight. I'd forgotten how nice the words were. We go to a party And everyone turns to see This beautiful lady That's walking a...

disgraceful decision, should have all got 6 months minimum. If baby had died what would have happened then ? You should try living in the UK barry. You only get 6 years for plotting to blow up the Stock Exchange, the London Eye, Westmister Abbey, a few pubs, a couple of Rabbis and the mayor of Lond...
