Worried Boyfriend
This could become the next big story from the blogsphere, and when it does I wanna be known as one of the first ones to discover it, as selfish as it sounds :)
On a serious note: Hope things work out for this couple. If I were him, I'd call the cops, straight.

Streaker in a fast food joint
Picture this. We're sitting (4 of us) in a local fast food joint in Dubai, family area, and all of a sudden one of us gets up, strips down to his briefs and a black hat, walks up to the counter and back while everyone else in the dining area looks in shock and disbelief - A couple of people choked on their drinks, the waiters stood there mouth-open having never imagined being streaked upon in a muslim arab country, parents cover their kids' eyes and some turn away in disgust!
This happened when I stupidly bet one of our mates, FN to wear the new hat that he bought - only the hat and take a walk in the dining hall. I had about 147 quid in me pocket, put in on the table not even believing for one second that he would actually go ahead with it. But my man actually did as we sat there laughing, embarrassed and hiding our faces and then left the place before they could call the police.
Well done FN mate, you da man!

I removed this link for some reason but then I noticed that I'm getting a lot of traffic from people looking for this video on search engines. So here it is again, the infamous Keane & Viera Bust-up Video
Birmingham V Liverpool - St. Andrews - Premiership
Birmingham host the greatest football club in the history of the game, Liverpool, at St. Andrews today in the Premiership. Elsewhere, Chelsea play Everton.
Evil D's Predictions for both games :
Chelsea 1 - 0 Everton
Birmingham 0 - 2 Liverpool
If Everton lose (ofcourse they will) and Liverpool win (ofcourse they will) today, Liverpool will close the gap on Everton to 2 points, with Everton still having to play us, Man Utd, and Arsenal. Its looking good for us and that 4th spot.

Filming up women's skirts LEGAL in the US
The case of Jeffrey Swisher illustrates their problem. He was caught filming up the skirts of teenagers at a shopping centre in Virginia and officials were keen to put him behind bars for a long time. His punishment was 10 days in jail because a loophole in state law meant prosecutors could only convict him of disorderly conduct.
Victims of video voyeurism are often horrified to find out that what has happened to them is not even illegal in some states. Continue reading

Slavery still the norm in UAE
Dubai, where East meets West and where, if you own a construction company, you are in the money. Sorry to say that this melange of American high rise, Mayfair opulence, and Indian influence now resembles the Costa Del Sol of the 1980's. It is one big building site. The favourite saying here is "Dubai will be nice when it is finished". The meaning behind this hits you as soon as you exit the airport: a massive construction project to put in a railway system means total chaos for all those attempting to arrive and depart. This sets the scene for all the other massive construction projects over town and out to sea - yes, why not build a series of man made offshore islands resembling a map of the world just because you can?! Oh! And why not build the tallest building in the world for a laugh?! Hey! Don't forget to throw in the largest shopping mall outside the USA, complete with snow ski slope, and something akin to Disneyland next to the Formula 1 racetrack and you begin to get a picture of Dubai.
But there is a dark side. Very, very dark infact.
Almost all the construction in the Emirates has been done by cheap labour from South Asia. Most of them have been here for years, made to live in unhumane conditions (upto 12 people crammed into one tiny room). For these migrants, who came to this place hoping for a better future for their families, not getting paid for months on end is the norm. Their passports are held so they can't go back, they are beaten up, treated worse than animals basically. Many have committed suicide when they couldn't take it anymore.
Just makes you sick doesn't it. I've read so many stories of this type in the 3 months that I've been here already.
Here's one from BBC of this poor dude who killed himself cuz he wasn't paid for a few months, had debts at home in India to pay. The full story in local papers actually mentioned that he had gone to his supervisor to ask for like a fiver (less than £1) so he could get some tea or summat. But the supervisor bollocked him. The dude goes back to his room, hangs himself. Read it.
Oh and there's more. How about tying up children onto the backs of camels in races cuz the kids's screams will make them run faster. Illegally kidnapped or 'bought' children from South Asian countries. You guessed it, it is a regular practice here. Read more on AntiSlavery.org
Milan : We can win Euro race
Milan Baros today declared his strike partnership with Fernando Morientes has kicked into top gear in plenty of time for the Reds to win the race for fourth place.
Evil D : Realistically looking at things, he's right. The way we've been playing under Rafa, I reckon we can do it - as long as we don't play like we did at Southampton. If the teams plays to anywhere near their potential, they should have an easy ride to No.4 - only having to face Arsenal from the top 3, while Everton have got all 3 of them to face, and then they've got us too. And I don't see any reason why we should not be able to get 3 points out of that even though we played shite at Goodison Park.

Cyberlove ends in a shock!
A lovelorn Jordanian couple who began a sizzling relationship on the internet found out they were already married to each other.
The cheating pair were on a seven-month break when they thought they had found their ideal partners on the net.
Over three months they cavorted in cyberspace, swapping dreams, making wedding plans and plotting how to leave their partners for good.
Bakr Melhem passed himself off as Adnan while wife Sanaa said she was called Jamila, an unmarried lady of culture who was interested in reading and was a devout Muslim.
Eventually they could contain themselves no longer and agreed to meet at a bus depot where the clandestine wedding plans would be finalised and their love confirmed.
It was there that the awful truth dawned on both parties - they were man and wife. The Petra news agency said Bakr turned white and screamed: "You are divorced, divorced, divorced" - the traditional way of ending a marriage.
Sanaa fainted.
The details of the case were revealed during the subsequent divorce hearing.
Comments: Let me just correct this last bit - That is NOT the correct way of divorcing in Islam. True you have to say it three times but they can't be at the same time.
I'm not highly religious at all and don't really know much about the religion but I do know that you gotta say it (i'm divorcing you) on three different occasions - just so the you both get time to think about it and maybe change your decision rather than divorcing and regretting it.

And yes, you can't divorce someone when they're pregnant. Which is very sensible.
