^^^ He never said he wants to buy your or marry you, silly. Typical woman! The man has too many camels to give out and he's giving them to people that bring him joy. Rooble, If it's marriage you're after then sorry saaxib. Xanthus waaa la bixiyaay. But if you can kill a certain Mr Johnny B, you'll make her a widow and then everything is possible...

^^^ tuf tuf tuf :mad: I'm going home now. No overtime for me. ps I've never been bitten. I once had a bad dream and that was that. Erm, it's a long story...

As the sijuis say: Habba na habba hojaza kibbaaba .....

^^ Not Xan You put that poor girl off.

Val, I love you because you tick the right boxes with me. You always pretend to be silly and dim when I'm around I told you I Don't. Like. SNAKES! There are plenty of the bloody things in Africa. I am not going there. Traumatic experience? Ok! I was watching Kill Bill 2 the other day (did you see that film?). In the film, there is a scene where one of the actors opens a suitcase full of money. He casually picks up a bundle of notes and starts counting it. The camera zooms back into the bag. A black mamba appears....... Anyway, my traumatic experience involved me jumping of the sofa so fast and banging my head against the wall as I tried to run out of the room.

After long thought and consultation with friends and family I have decided not to (willingly) set foot in Africa again. So, no, you can't go after me. Anyway, I can't imagine going to Somalia as being a holiday, more like self-sacrifice really. You in a charitable mood?

And the snakes

Aaaaah! That's much better Why Africa? And if you're going to Africa, maxa somalia ku diiday? Don't you want to follow in the great Xantus footsteps and milk an orgi in miye?

Val, you silly mare, I don't live or work in Edgeware Road! I'm not really sure if I should be offended by the accusation. I can't type much on this thread. Bloody shiny kabtan kaluun is giving me a headache

North, saaxib, why are you letting that toothless mafeeq get between us? Get me my xalow, man. (please)

Edit: It was to Serenity really but might as well apply to all of you. ^^ Ameeeen ya rab al caalamin. May you marry in a hurry, never worry and learn to cook curry. Rokko, g'day mate. Don't be an Ocker and fix that signature of yours, mate. It's annoying the hell out of me.

^^ It stands to reason that you'll know more girls than I would. But I thought that most girls use uunsi and perfume, not just choose one over the other. You and Val are Tomboys. Lets have a poll! Girls ONLY ya North

^^ Actually, tonight I'm not. I see that you're not either. Lets meet half way, Baker Street suit you? ps You and Lilly are the only girls I've met that hate uunsi!

Naaso Hablood they never get saggy

^^ What stag night? Is it tonight?

^^ Way eska hadlaysa She's not really 'taken' but I think she's trying to tell us that she's seeing someone! Not for long if her attention to detail is anything to go by. But I really couldn't be bothered to put in the effort! You see, I'm not looking. . I'm taken ha ha!. Lily, You don't use uunsi?

Serenity, I can just picture what your bedroom would look like tonight. Only friendless girls do their changing alone when it comes to weddings. So I expect that you'll have at least two other ladies (sisters or friends) changing with you. You'll spend four hours talking about the wedding you're going to and another four talking about other things. You'll empty the wardrobes and try on everything that you have! You will light up some uunsi! You will hog the toilets and several other bedrooms. The house phone will not stop ringing. When you're finally ready to leave you'll all look a million dollars. You will leave a total and utter carnage behind you though. I mean, if it's a dirac wedding, why do you leave dresses, skirts, shirts, trousers, suits, hats and even a sunglasses or two strewn all over the house? Why is the bathroom full of bits of makeup? Why does the entrance to the front door of the house resemble a mosque with millions of shoes, trainers and stilettos thrown all over the floor? ppffffttt..women!

What's that supposed to mean? Don't roll your eyes at me, explain yourself.

^^^ Enjoy the break It's the weekend for JB and North. This place is going to be DEAD today.

Originally posted by Khalaf: quote:Originally posted by Kashafa: ^^There are brothels open in Makkah a few miles away from the Masjid Al Haram. I myself saw 3 Saudi youths being whipped in public in the Haram for 'mucaakasa', ie, hounding and stalking women to give them their numbers. This was during the last 10 nights of Ramadan. Police and the Morality cops make regular raids on 'dens of vice' where alcohol is brewed, among other things. Defination of brothel: "A brothel, also known as a bordello or whorehouse, is an establishment specifically dedicated to prostitution, providing the prostitutes a place to meet and to have sex with the clients". Looool this is getting better brothels and alcohol in Makkah, maybe they got gay clubs too. So you seen these brothels with your eyes, i mean for a non-native such as yourself to know about this (i have never heard of it and my family is well connected to mecca) then this along with alchohol is an establishment and its no secret. Only place where i heard of these stories is the internet, (tho um not denying suuq madoow in which ppl commit haraam undercover) . Anway bullocks mate as the english say. Wax lala yaabo ma ahan. wax lala yaabo way thay. Sheh just as i thought your source is the internet. Heh Your innocence is uplifting and I think it's unfair of these people to break your spirits with such stories as brothels, alcohol and lewdness. I once did tawaaf seventy times. It was a very long time ago but (and this might shock you) I have to admit that my mind was not always focused on what I was doing! I may even have stolen a look at a woman or two. But, mostly, I was trying to dodge those mad Nigerian men that run around with the infirm on those old style wooden beds.

^^ This stuff is fairly new. Though its traditional, it was not something that many people did ten years ago. But, for some strange reason, recently, many of the old traditional dances seem to have come back and are being embraced by all and sundry! There is a subtext to this recent enthusiasm and outbreak of nationalism. You see, the UAE comprises two distinct groups, Arabs and Ajams! The Arabs are the Bedouin nomads that belong to all the prominent clans in the country and, despite recent urbanization, still hark back to the desert areas they came from. The Ajams are those that originally hail from Iran but have either lived in these parts all their lives or are fairly recent arrivals (last hundred years). Now the Arabs, to distinguish themselves from the Ajams, and display their pride in their own Bedouin heritage, have recently started reviving and showcasing all the traditional nomad customs. In fact, they're not that much different to Somali nomads. They recite poetry in the same singing lilt and those listening to the poet as he sings out his words would make similar approving noises and gestures! They also swear by their Camel Milk (and might actually challenge our supposed exclusive ownership of it there)! They fight over grazing rights, walk long distances from one water source to another and carry old style shotguns and knives. The Ajams, on their part, did not distance themselves from these Arab practices and, surprisingly enough, started to enthusiastically welcome them. They view it as a nationalistic act that shows them to be no less patriotic than the Arabs in a country in which both groups are citizens. Many of the dances you see originate from Oman, Saudi Arabia and Africa (mostly Tanzania). Ps Yes. In a previous life, I did partake in many of these dances and acts. Some Bedouin once offered to train me as a camel racer! I could have had class. I could have been a contender. I could have been the Frankie Dettori of the Arab world.
