2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003[VIDEO REMOVED]
I could swear I posted something like this before but I can’t seem to find the post so I guess I never did. Anyway here is a video clip from LBC where a Saudi author and cleric advises men on how to beat up their wives.
Update: I removed the video, read the comments to understand why.
So I was flipping through eBay looking for random stuff when I found a couple of people selling a brand new in the box Liono figurine from the popular 80’s cartoon Thundercats. I thought that would be a great Christmas gift for myself until I spotted the price. There were three sellers and the cheapest was selling the toy figure for KD160 while the most expensive was selling it for KD2,400! Makes me wish I never opened up my toys as a kid.
Villa Moda is having a 50% sale all day today and only today.
Don’t watch this if you’ve just eaten. [YouTube]
They’re going to need something a lot faster than a Mustang if they expect to catch up with some of the cars in Kuwait.
Thanks Ali
Some guy just spent over $380,000 on a house for his dog! The dog house has a 52inch plasma, temperature controlled spa, retina scan entry, automated food and water dispensers, two bedrooms and a ton of more stuff. I love dogs but this is extreme, actually, this is beyond extreme! [Link]
IKEA are over today installing my new kitchen. My experience so far with them has been really great. I think it was around 2 months ago when I first approached them about getting a kitchen and they quickly sent someone over to get the sizes. After that it was kind of a long process for the design since me and Nat kept changing things around until we finally settled on something we were both happy with. After that it was all about trying to keep the cost down as much as possible and we were able to chop around 25% of the cost by removing things we didn’t need and when we finally paid we used an NBK credit card and got another 10% off as vouchers which dropped the price down even further. The guys installing the kitchen are telling me they need two days to finish the installation but they’re pretty quick so I think they might end up finishing today.
Update: I guess I spoke too soon. Its not even 3PM and the guys were packing up to leave, they told me they had another kitchen at 3PM they needed to go to. I was like WTF? My kitchen is 80% done and I booked this day over 2 weeks ago how could you leave after half a days work? So I called their manager up and complained, I told him I took a day off work and the employees came in at 10 and they are now leaving at 3. I told him the kitchen is nearly done so I don’t understand why they can’t work a full day on it and get it completed. He told me they only work from 7 to 3:30, I told him if they did come in at 7 we would be done by now plus they told me they have another kitchen they have to go and work on. The manager asked to speak to one of the guys over at my place and when he was done I was told they would stay longer and try to get the kitchen done today.
Sultan Center have introduced some new milk products which I spotted yesterday. They now have Mars, Starburst, Maltesers and Nesquik flavored milk. Their prices though are outrageous, the Mars milk costs KD2.150, the Starburst KD1.950, the Nesquik KD1.550 and finally the cheapest was Maltesers at KD1.450.
This remake of the 1950’s classic by the same name looks like its going to be one hell of a movie although I am really fed up of Keanu Reeves. Like come on who can still stand his Matrix voice and look?? On the other hand Jennifer Connelly still looks as hot as ever. [Trailer]
Food wise there were only two things that stuck out for me in Cairo. The first is the burger at the Four Seasons, the second is the spicy chicken fillet at McDonalds.
When I first had the burger at the Four Seasons tea lounge in Cairo (opposite the Zoo), it came with blue cheese which I thought overpowered the burger. So when I went to have it the second time I asked them to replace the blue cheese with cheddar and it made a world of difference. The burger turned out to be great and if I was to rate it I would probably give it anywhere between 3.5 and a 4 out of a 5. Highly recommended. (Burger picture above)
The spicy chicken fillet at McDonalds was another surprise. I don’t know why we don’t have it here in Kuwait but we should since we’re missing out on a great chicken sandwich. Unlike the McChicken, the spicy chicken fillet kinda looks like Burger King’s Chicken Royale but tastes like KFC’s chicken Zinger. So basically its the best of both worlds and honestly everything else I had in McDonalds in Cairo tasted terrible so the chicken fillet is the only way to go.
And that’s about it, there wasn’t anything else I had in Cairo that stuck out.
Official pictures of the new 4-door Porsche Panamera are out and the car still looks as ugly as the original spy shots. [Link]
I get back to Kuwait tonight and can’t wait! I have a few more pictures and posts I want to share related to my Egypt trip and will try to do that tonight so tomorrow everything is back to normal.
