All the wars, and the fighting and quarreling, may be just futile activity. As Shakespeare put it: "Much ado about nothing..." With quantum Physics studying the sub-atomic world and telling us that electrons, protons and neutrons which constitute the Atom (something we were told is the bui...

I remember when I was in Dubai some years ago, I was trying out my new Mercedes on the Dubai /Fujairah road, and there was this Land Cruiser in the fast lane. I must have been going very fast, and flashed my lights at him (role reversed for once) and he got very fast out of my way. As I whizzed past...

Why should Homos be given the right and responsibility to bring up children? Is it not enough that they are living an unnatural life? Should they be allowed to add to this?

zonker

Kanelli,I think you may be having some difficulty in understanding the word "natural" in this context. Lets substitute "abnormal behavior" for "un-natural behavior". Abnormal behavior can occur in both humans and animals. If there is a faulty gene that is being blamed f...

Kanelli, once again a slight mis-perception on your part.You said: "Yes, it is natural for males and females to pair and mate if you want to propagate a population..." In actual fact, males and females in any species are genetically programed to attract each other, SO THAT they can propoga...

Well, I dreamt of my dead grand-mother, and that I was a kid again! In the morning, wifey was cross, "You've been acting childish all morning," she said. Pick out the 'something nice' there!

Nice!
Yes, you do look tired in Pic. No. 2, when you are approaching Masjid Sultan Ahmet

Nice to see you back!!

I shall be looking forward to getting bored by your Tales from BM's Holiday!!!

Professor Nick Bostrom, Director of the recently created Future of Humanity Committee at Oxford, seems to think so. Professor Bostrom (a Swede), has put forward three scenarios in his paper, one of which, according to him, should be the truth: 1) Any human civilization at our stage of development de...

Let me reel out my favourite creation theory that can't be disproved: "We were all created 5 minutes ago with ready-made memories." Sorted. :) Cheers, Shafique Or even 5 seconds ago? :shock: Here's what Nick Bostrom has to say about his hypothesis: http://www.simulation-argument.com/matri...

BM, Greetings!

You are right, as always......I must have overdone the Chivas!
I think I shall have to turn to Chardonnay.....

BM, this is for you:

See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O that I were a glove upon that hand,
that I might touch that cheek!"
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 2.2

So, are you saying that you will never marry me??

^^Perhaps that was the inspiration for Bostrom's research. Life imitates art.

^^ DK. there is a link in my post to Shafique that you might find interesting reading. Here is another:

Dubai may be drawing back from the brink, but may take some time. However, going back really depends on your current situation,isnt it?
If what you are offered is better than what you have, then go for it.....

I love Jazz, but this seems to be in a class by itself

Saw that film some years ago, rediscovered it on Youtube again recently, found some of the songs interesting. Sorry if I am boring you; nothing better to do on a cold Sunday! Not my fault.

I am sure it will be different when we are sharing a glass of Chardonnay together!

zonker

Having worked in a kitchen of an upscale restaurant myself in my student days, you better be decent to restaurant personnel. Ever since, I prefer restaurants with open kitchen or where the food in made in front of you (Japanese p.e.). Its not unheard of that restaurant staff can spit in your food b...

zonker

^^Chardonnay does help, upto a point......beyond that you are on your own!

Anyway, when I do get boring, do let me know!

I might then regale you with my story of how I got my driving licence......its quite interesting, though a bit longish...

zonker

Ben,
A Jazz Festival in Dubai? When? I shall try to make it!

BM, my story will be nothing as exciting as your munchkin's though! And yes, he can see IP addresses, so that question of where I am is already answered.

What is a "Mall Crawler"?

zonker

^^Mr.Peacock (no shame in being gay, what?), took you a long time to come up with this nonsense.............

zonker

BM, with a name like Peacock, its difficult not to take notice. Definitely gay, or a closet gay, with all those multi-colored feathers sticking out of his backside.....

^^Miss Spellcheckgirl......that gives me a nice warm feeling. Yes, I admit I was trying to impress the girls in class.
And not the GAYS.
And I shall remember what you told me: Butt! Hope I got it right this time!
Always aspiring to give 100%.
Yours truly,
zonker.

You most certainly have an affixation with gays as this has been used in several previous posts. Come out the closet girl, there is no shame in declaring you are a dyke. Oh, and ony one "T" in "but" unless its an @rse. Also, replace the "Z" with a "PL" in you...

zonker

^^You dont need an Egyptologist; there are no heiroglyphs there; all that I am saying in plain English is a Peacock stands for gay.
As for fixation with gays, I avoid them.
Hope that is clear enough.

zonker

^^I have looked up specialist books. Most Brit men are gay anyway, from the whitest of the white aristocracy to the dregs of the clueless underclasses; and when one of them likes to call himself "peacock", I cant help thinking about you, as you put it, as a shirt tail lifter! i.e your own....

What is happening in the region puts a new glow behind Dubai. And the glow feels uncomfortably hot like something is on fire.
And nobody is in Dubai because of the long term stability that it offers. Its all living and working from day to day. Decades pass like this for many.

zonker

This has turned into quite an inquisition for BM. Why does she have to explain ANYTHING that she does? She can like anything or anyone; she might like one nationality, and not another. Indeed, she might like some people of a particular Nationality, and not others. In other threads I have seen people...

zonker

^^Its not just an irony, I think its a travesty that she is being asked to explain her likes and dislikes, and out of the goodness of her heart she is proceeding to go into all these details.
BM, no need of all that I think. Interesting as your posts are.
