If you send him to a British curriculum school, he will learn quite a lot of British history.
Come to think of it there are quite a few similarities between the middle east today and Britain 3-400 years ago.

How about the new RTA sign "BE AWARE OF OTHERS FAULTS".

You must be Irish. :lol: I remember as a kid going to church on Sunday and when mass was over there was a stampede to get to the 3 bars across the street and the wives went home to put on the corned beef and cabbage so it would be ready when their drunken husbands showed up. :lol: (FYI: that was in...

Tabloid journalism at its best. Print the headline and ask questions later. Turns out that these guys were part of a celebration parade which was organised by the Dubai police. They were performing these stunts in a controlled environment amongst their peers. The only people at risk were their fello...

Er...like who cares? A bunch of overpaid prima donnas with stupid haircuts chasing a bladder full of air around a pitch for 90 minutes? I would rather stick knitting needles in my eyes than watch that tosh! :shock: :shock: :shock: Knight Where the team that can think of the worst insult, and take t...

How long were you stuck behind it? All the way to AD???

Have u ever got fired? have u ever failed in ur business? bankruptcy? Did u have colleagues who were back stabbers or bootlickers? Share Please! Never been fired When I was a kid, my business of selling mangoes on the highway was going very well until I over complicated it and learnt that people ju...

Yeah, not a very smart place to have a parade... on a 10km stretch of highway with no exits for the unfortunate bastards stuck behind it.

azerjaban had a brilliant entry, I'd say they will win. But hope to God that ireland at least qualify this year. Our entry is by the woman that sang on eurovision years ago when it was hosted in ireland' during the break, she sang the start of riverdance :D Would the start of riverdance be streamda...

When the property is empty surely the owner would make sure the service from DEWA is discontinued until such time the property is occupied, that way, no bill no fee. Now that would make sense. But DEWA still read the meter and send bills if the property is occupied or not. They just keep sending th...

This series of events was exposed, not by the Dutch, but by Australia's own media watch program, and subsiquently investigated by the industry watchdog.
Luckily these systems are in place to prevent it from happening again.
The irony is that the terrosrist tag (for the son) is quite appropriate.

Spent a week of April in Cairns. Pissed down rain the whole time. Loved every minute.
I'm thinking about going to Zimbabwe in August, but have heard that the game hunters have killed many of the animals (168 elephants in a week was one report).

And most of the time with Israel, all you can do is laugh.

Oh Noooo...
The correct answer is the 'Moops'

Du anounced their package today.
It can be yours for just under 300 AED.

^Ahh, the penny drops - sorry, a bit obscure for me - whilst I enjoyed Seinfeld, I guess my recollection isn't as encyclopaedic as yours! ;) :D :D :D Hey, I would never had heard of the Moors if it weren't for Seinfield.

A notable difference here is that In Saudi (and the UAE for that matter), the justice system does little to discourage this sort of thing happening. In the US there are severe sentences in place that would send this guy to jail for a very long time... if convicted. Why he probably won't be convicted...

Catholics and Protestants are not that extreme.
I was thinking a bit more cultish, but then again, the Baptists are extreme enough to pass the buck to god.

benwj - far be it for me to support the Saudi authorities, but I have to say that I would be very surprised if the Saudis would harbour a rapist and make the rape victim apologise to a congregation (and cite the Quran in support of this stance). Generally speaking, yes. But I am sure that there are...

Which brings me to my well-worn argument that this case happened in the US and by Christians, DESPITE the laws saying this is illegal - and therefore begs the question, would there be more such crimes in the US if the law was more lenient? If not, then the legal system isn't effective - and if it d...

I'm glad you see the funny side.

No, more hookers would not work in the US. But it seems to work for Dubai in a weird kind of way.

No never been to Tel Aviv.
Unfortunately I have a Jewish name, but thats about the limit of my sympathy for them.

Well he/she can cut and paste which is beyond most Texans.
So I'd say Vermont, the sob-story lobbyist capital.

What did white Ozzies criticizing Israel do lately for the aboriginals? :oops: Erm... Land, Housing, Cash, Interest free loans, Health cover, School uniforms, books, stationary, University...

Worst case scenario is that you will be asked to pay import duty, which is 5% of the declared value. Doesn't matter if it is a gift, new, second hand, or whatever.

Yeh What's your beef god? Poor Herve's only trying to recoup the money that he should have made from selling his submarines to the bloody arabs, who then had the audacity to lock the vault when they realised that they were 80 billion in the red. Its not like he's in a mansion in Florida, living off ...

benwj

I am also sure that Herve is a very nice person, but he did tend to rave on a bit with his anti-arab/muslim views and not backing them up with a lot of substance other than his personal experiences and subjective articles. Not that he deserves to be banned for this, because I can think of at least o...
