Yeah kinda tragic isn't it.

It's a nice idea Mahmoud, but I don't think there are currently enough active members.

You'd think wouldn't you! Sadly though, common sense seems to elude ALOT of people during Ramadan.

Mahmoud04 wrote:nice, I liked reading them so much ... excited...thanks choco for sharing...

You're welcome. It's important to remind ourselves of these things every now and then.

It's laughable at best. How about we round up AC and his little gang and send them over to Saudi or Yemen and see how long they last, before they're crying to be let back into the UK.

Well it's possible if enough people want to do it. The only thing we had to be wary of the last times was to have somewhere neutral, bearing in mind that not all people drink or like smokey places, hence the bowling and ice-skating.

They were just examples of what the forum has been done before. As I said NOT everyone will go to a bar, so already you're being biased as to who could go. No one said you HAD to bowl or skate, last time not everyone did as we actually went somewhere that did have a bar, so those that wanted to did ...

Not a flippin' chance! Only the nearest and dearest are allowed into my home, plus too many animals to get freaked out by strangers - no thanks.

Again, make a 'sensible' suggestion.

We did that in the past as well - it was a right laugh.

BBQ outside, still requires 'someone' to open up their house for people lol

I for one find it difficult to attend if the spoken grammar was in line with what some forumers write. Can anybody confirm if this would be the case before I put in my diary? LOL can you learn to use punctuation please. Let's re-write that shall we? I, for one, would (future tense, because it would...

I hope people do remember the true meanings of Ramadan and don't unnecessarily waste huge amounts of food at commercial Iftars, as happens every year. Personally I'd rather see the food and money spent on these going to charity. Let's show some tolerance on the roads too and try not to kill each oth...

Oh, the irony of it all !

LOL yeah SCG being the one who's pants at grammar, spelling and punctuation - epic fail.

That's gross at anytime. Given that some strict people won't even swallow their own spit during fasting hours - I'd say no!

Here's one for BM:

er for a start it should be titled countries, not cities. It's England not Engerland and why only one of the 4 countries in the UK? You can't put South Africa, then the rest of Africa - do you know how large that is????? Also including Egypt and Madagascar for example. To be honest I think the poll ...

Plus Abos are native Australians

Looks like we have deviated from the topic big style folks! My thoughts are that it would be great to meet up with most, but some who if their personalities are reflected in their writing manner in this forum, and this is what they put over as an attitude.....................not for me I would rath...

As in lump it, go with the flow, hard cheese, tough!

Bethsmum wrote:Oh do stop nit picking Chocs and just cast your vote! It's only for fun
The reason Mel put Engerland as that is what I put on the other thread. Deliberatley I might add.

It's not nit picking, it's gross errors that are beyond ridiculous.

hehe Chocs just being her stupid slef as always! Dear Chocs, this is not a beauty contest, this is a JOKE! try to laugh or as you always tell others, "BUT OUT". I didn't change the title of the thread or the names of the countries, because I wanted to put it as drew did. This is not my th...

Whatever happened to 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'? It;s subjective, everyone has a different definition of beauty.

Sadly I think you'll find that's pretty much it.

Kisses on the mouth from family? Blurgh From male friends? Possibly acceptable.

Never know how many cheeks kisses to do, usually 2 or 3.

Wet, limp handshakes are vile.

It's a TYPO - get over it, that happens when you can type a mile a minute sometimes. Typing errors are genuine mistakes, not just poor spelling, grammar etc etc Plus I'm not feeling well - so there. *sticks tongue out, stamps foot*

In all honesty I only ever see people becoming more selfish, ignorant and intolerant during Ramadan. I stopped, hazards on to let a man and his son cross the road and the fool next to me nearly ran them down. People lack patience. I have to to work at the worst time of day at the moment and all I se...

er for a start it should be titled countries, not cities. It's England not Engerland and why only one of the 4 countries in the UK? Do you REALLY want to include Wales and Scotland chocs? You can't put South Africa, then the rest of Africa - do you know how large that is????? You can because the st...

Generally I hear Ramadan Kareem and Eid Mubarak. But I have heard a few people saying Ramadan Mubarak recently.

I was in the Hilton once, with Mr Emirati when some arab came in and greeted him by kissing him full on the lips. I have witnessed this only at WTC Dubai. I thought I saw Arab men kissing each other full on the mouth, but I think they also might have been nose kissing each other. Maybe both. The no...

BB, sadly I wasn't talking about the expats! And did you go and say anything to the mother? I would have. I have done in the past.

The nose thing is pretty common. Damn right! I've just looked round my office and every one has one! Oh you are funny Chocs! :D (See, I'm getting in the zone :D ) I don't know how I'd get one with the nose kissing thing, my nose is always cold! Not running just freezing to the touch. LOL as far as ...

BB, sadly I wasn't talking about the expats! And did you go and say anything to the mother? I would have. I have done in the past. I know that. No I didn't say anything to the mother Chocs. I have to ignore it as there are just too many people out there who don't find it necessary to show some resp...

Urgh don't get your knickers in a twist! EVERYONE from EVERYWHERE makes mistakes and can act like an idiot. But sadly some people seem to think Ramadan gives them an excuse to behave even worse than they do the rest of the time. You ASSUME people who've been here along time will know better, I can g...
