| I do not understand this modern fashion for 'Quiz Nights". I would pay money NOT to go to one. |

Could that be 'cause you don't know anything????? 
Last night's one was ok - we managed to answer some questions though lost out on a round devoted to Sherlock Holmes............
Hope you'll be gathering for the Eurovision Song Contest on the 12th - not on BBC Prime this year so no Terry 
Yes - anyone thinking of coming to Bahrain - this is it for entertainment - quizzes and Eurovision.... |

| Do you think we might me frightening people away from coming to Bahrain???? They'll probably be thinking it's the most boring place in the world. Which of course it isn't - especially as Dar Island is now advertising itself (and its waterslide) as being a great tourist destination.... |

I recall one memorable night in Hafr Al Batin just over four years ago when I went to a party (men only of course) and spent a few hours discussing Catholic confession with a number of Mutawwin, among other theological matters.
One of the best nights out I ever had in Hafr Al Batin!!
Seriously, it was a most fascinating experience, and I am actually in contact with one of those guys still. They are a lot more curious than many give them credit for. I am actually very embarrassed about one thing: they knew a lot more about the Christian bible than I did, even the new testament.
Never a dull moment in the ME, I say. |
