I have really had enough. I am really starting to hate it. I can’t stand Burger King anymore. I have been having it nearly everyday since December and I think I just hit my BK limit. I just had a double XXL mushroom and swiss and I couldn’t finish it. I don’t think I can have it anymore. If only there was a McDonalds near by…

Now that summer is approching and it’s getting hotter everyday, me and mark are thinking we definitly need a tan, Mark is practically “Snow White” but I’m still a tiny bit more naturally tanned than he is.. Nevertheless this will be my first full summer in Kuwait and i’ve been thinking about which beaches we should go to. We only have one day off per week so it’s gotta be worth it. So I’ve been asking around and I’ve been told that there are some really nice beaches in Mina Al Zoor, like a small paradise and that most of the time the place is deserted so we can have all the privacy we wish for. But the problem is that both me and Mark never heard about this area and we have no clue about its location. Has anybody here ever heard of it or been there? Or do you guys usually just frequent the most common beach resorts in Kuwait? It would be great if we could get some directions:)

Every so often when I try to reply to a comment on this site I get a problem. I would type my message and then click on “Say It” and I would just get a white page. I then have to click reload over and over until my comment goes through and gets posted. Anyone else have this problem?

I sent the following email to Fasttelco in regards to yesterdays post on Fasttelco blocking flickr.

Subject: Is Flickr Blocked?

Hi, when I try to access www.flickr.com i get the following message:

Forbidden
You were denied access because:
Access denied by access control list.

But when I access flickr.com it works. Many of my friends have also
been facing the same issue. Is Fasttelco trying to block flickr?

Thanks

By clicking on the below link you can vote for NBK in the following categories of the Banker Middle East 2005 Awards: Best Bank, Best Customer Service / Call Center and Lifetime Achievement.

The selection of banks in each category has been suggested and put forward by a panel of experts from across the region as a whole.

The only category that is different is the Lifetime Achievement Award, in which you can vote for anyone you like from the banking industry. NBK’s CEO Mr. Ibrahim Dabdoub is definitely on the top of the list.

Thank you for your support to NBK.

I was listening to VOA (96.9) over the weekend and this show started I forgot what it was called but basically it was a show where you would call in and give your feedback about VOA. I thought that was perfect, I could finally call in and complain about their stupid special english show, and how the way they say the news at night very slowly is such a stupid idea. So I pick up my phone and wait for them to give out their number when this guy from India calls in. The guy was blind, and he spent the next 10 minutes talking about how the special english show was the best and how it helped him learn English. He kept asking the announcer if his English was any good and the announcer would reply yeah its great, then the blind guy would say well this is all because of your show. Then he kept on going about how he loves the way they present the news with a vocabulary of only 1500 words and how it helps him and his friends improve their english. Anyway after all that bullshit I put my phone down, there was no way I was gonna call in after a blind man and complain about a show which helped him learn english. Just my luck, now I got to wait till next month when they air the show again to call in.

Since I came to Kuwait I haven’t seen one single petshop. Where are all the petshops? Are there any? I really want a pet, I’m a dog person , I’ve always wanted a dog but since I’m at work all day, having a dog wouldn’t be very convenient according to Mark… It wouldn’t have been much of a problem for me though. However I’m still on a quest to get a pet (no special preferences), I was told to go to sook el jem3a (Friday’s Market) where I would have a large selection of pets. I went there like 3 months ago and all I found were a couple of dogs, a couple of cats, alot of pigeons , and mostly chicken. That wasn’t exactly what I was looking for.. So if any of you guys know of a normal petshop here in Kuwait, I would be more than happy to get the name and exact location of that petshop.
