^^A good memory can be a curse many a time. Me, I dont remember what I had for breakfast! And so I am a happy man! As for my self declared and imposed exile, I have a feeling there will be many more to follow. I refer you to Bob Hope who said:" I have no problem with giving up smoking. I have d...
I was really impressed to read about the heroism shown by these individuals in saving the woman and saving other lives on a very busy Canadian Highway. The co-ordination and co-operation shown by all individuals taking part in this rescue, irrespective of skin color and religion I might add, without...
Your link is blocked Zonker but I presume you are refering to Amir Khan. I see you call him a Pakistani immigrant. My daughter knows him. She says he's a bit of a prat. Of course, like all Pakistanis in England, right? But he is a good Boxer from the result of this fight.I dont know why the link is...
@EH: Some of the great names and great fights have been in the lightweight category. Sugar Ray Leonard and Duran Duran come to mind. @General: Zab Judah was an experienced boxer, and had more wins to his name than Amir Khan. Frankly, I wasn't expecting this kind of performance from Khan. He did well...
I have been told that Faithful Husbands will go straight to Heaven; and the Unfaithful ones will enjoy Heaven on Earth!!! The choice is yours! :lol: (Taken from a Bangkok Tourism ad!) Is this something you subscribe to? I am sure the ladies will have a different viewpoint from the gentlemen! May the...
So have they started to stamp the Nationality on peoples' backsides in Dubai now? Thats a great innovation! Well done, Dubai! It helps so much to know the Nationality right away, the minute the trousers come off for the morning rituals!
I wasn't close enough to see the stamp on his bottom Zonker. The little Pakistani flag hoisted on his turd, as it floated downstream, gave it away. And who hoisted that flag there? :shock: You dont have to strain the grey cells too much for that, I think! Hint: The aborgine picture you posted!! :wi...
"We" i.e some of us have had a meeting BTW. And charmed! :D Let the meet-up that Mahmoud is suggesting be on a BOAT! How romantic. And let there be a nice heavy old fashioned wooden oar in my hands for rowing the boat etc. And watch your heads during my clumsier moments :lol: And dont forg...
....... Das Island is not a place for vaccation LOL Its a place where you work for 12 hours to ensure non-stop production of oil :shock: The palce is not very healthy, but thats what I do for a living :| The only good thing about working here is the good number of annual leave you can get, thats wh...
hmm.. DDS's translation is correct if you want to translate word by word. "You enlighten my eyes" means you made me extremely happy... Zonker how do you know Farsi? And DDS did you get any help in that translation? and back on topis, I'm going shopping today! yayyy Mahn Farsi sobat kardan...
You never said which one you were Zonker! I have been both BM! :D Allow me to explain. I started off with all good intentions and wanted to go to heaven. Halfway, I realized the wait was going to be longer than my attention span, so I quietly stepped off that bandwagon, and am currently enjoying he...
......... Heaven on Earth! That's the best bet Zonker. It's no good waiting for Heaven. You may find you just close your eyes and then there's nothing. That would be the waste of a wait. Grab it with both hands and enjoy the ride :D Succinctly put BM. Thats so profound. At first, I thought you said...
Well BM, some felicitations are in order for your Beth doing so well in her studies! I bet part of the credit goes to her beautiful mom :D . Quite obviously, the city of Halifax is far away. There was a Halifax Building Society back when I used to haunt England. I am sure it would have turned into a...
Sym, no one is perfect. Where were you when BM was getting it from all sides - big time!! I'm sure you are of the opinion, "well she (BM) asked for it", and that may be true, AND the same can be said for what's-her-name. I hold onto good memories and don't dwell on the bad ones. DF doesn'...
Eversince I was a beardless youth.....well, not really, I was always a bit precocious :wink: .....I have been hearing this turn of phrase or figure of speech. I did my usual diligent research; 20 seconds on Google, and turned up The Free Dictionary by Farlex. Know it? Well, I dont either :P And this...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDqvh92gfek&feature=related In the company of a few good friends with a bottle (or two) of Chivas Regal, by the banks of the river Indus of an evening, you couldnt do better than relish this pure form of Eastern music from this maestro in a private sitting with rea...
Have you ever heard the phrase? I think people in aviation may be familiar with it. Perhaps it was coined during the 40's by pilots. It refers to the point in time and distance when it is no longer possible to abort a take-off as the Jumbo or the Airbus trundles down the run-way. Beyond the PNR, it ...
Well I am very glad you have been so lucky BM, and enjoyed every minute of the ride. Many of us lesser mortals have not been as fortunate, I am afraid. I have actually been on a plane one of whose engines was on fire at the PNR. I felt helpless and trapped. An analogy that can be extended to real li...
....... Well I'm sorry to hear of your ghastly experience Zonker, I've never been helpless nor trapped anywhere, except when the door handle came of the school toilet door when I was 6. It was a character building moment, which has left me empowered to deal with any situation. I'm afraid I can't sh...
