Now if only they would add a traffic light and close the stupid u-turn opposite Bahrain Street..

The ______ that is Zain

I can’t choose a good word to put in the blank (and there are MANY), so I will allow the readers to choose for me.
-If your phone gets disconnected and you are in the middle of nowehere, then you are doomed. Because you can’t even call CUSTOMER CARE and pay your bill using a credit [...]

You know you’re old..

When the neighbours little boy and girl see you and run to kiss you (to yesalmoon).
Or maybe they’re just really polite kids..

Laih mita?! Seriously what is wrong with all these people? This subject was all over the blogs once, then facebook groups, forwards and even websites devoted to this subject. Cartoons are all over the place ridiculing the people who wear it. Don’t you think it went too far? For all of those preaching freedom [...]

Wataniya, Na3am?

Posted by: Enigma on: January 16, 2008

There is this annoying service which Wataniya users have- you send an SMS and you request a reply. Three different people sent me messages requesting replies. Shtaboon? I’ll reply in my own good time! Shal 7anna el zayda!

Marina FM

Posted by: Enigma on: January 7, 2008

When it first launched, this station was a relief to most of us. No more garga like 103.7, bad music like 99.7, and news from Sawa. Now it’s a disappointment. All they do is talk, talk and talk. In the morning on the way to work/jam3a/whatever, it’s talk. In the afternoon on ride home it’s [...]
