WOW!! I was totally oblivious to the impact this would be having on passengers trying to fly into Europe!! My bad...!
Some of us are going to go to the airport for a mini relief operation. Things like handing out basic supplies such as water, basic food (croissants & stuff), perhaps supplies for those with kids such as: milk, nappies (diapers!), wipes etc...
Of course, our aim is to help those in need regardless of race, creed etc etc etc.
If you wish to help in anyway (it can even be ideas such as who/where to get cheap supplies from), please PM me. Even if it's just moral support, it would be nice to know who cares.
Regards, |

Dear Asda,
That's a fine, kind idea. Wish I were there to help.
Regards,

By all means, Asda. This kinda shines a whole new light on the k.o.h., doesn't it. "Humanity" doesn't EVEN enter the picture!
Wadda joke! I remember a mate of mine, many years removed from the "k.o.h." who had to supply and cajole others to come to the hospital to donate blood before blood would be given to his premie baby. Thankfully, mother and daughter are safe and well in Idaho and he's working in a country that doesn't pretend to be humane.

I know I will get it in the neck for daring to speak but
don't you ever get sick of writing negative comments that all ridicule the place n the same points!!
i know plenty a place where hypocrisy and unfairness are benchmarked against your own country's behaviour and that of its puppet master.
I really wonder if you missed the Op being positive or that over in the UK / Europe it has been even worse. Check out Ryan Air and their policy towards their customers!! |

Dear S/he who finds thyself between a rock and a hard place:
In a word, No. If negativity is detected, then, as I've told people for years and years, CHANGE REALITY.
I report reality, if it is negative, then, THAT is the world that THEY created.
Good luck in saudi.

| Charity is admirable - but I would suggest that this is a job for the Saudi Red Crescent, Scouts or similar who usually do things like this at Pilgrimage. |

Reality Bites yeah ... but it still don't answer why you feel the need to pour scorn all over every saudi post. Its boring and i must say a little bit obessive.
Do yourself a favour stick to your super size , we got everything right the whole worlds wrong country and leave the rest of us in peace. Go bother the South American boards as uncle sams closer to them and about as popular there as in the middle east..

"asalamilekom", I think that it's good advice to give as well as take. Others' term is "chill pill"!
