Absolutely furious with shiels now

He slagged my thread and I'll live to see him regret it

He's got an awfully squeaky voice.

Have you seen the one where he goes to his Vietnamese mates house?

 

[luka]

ive seen the one where he meets up with his mentor who might have been vietnamese. i think he was.

Shiels spent his childhood lying on his bed as the rain pelted the windows outside, drawing exotic Arabian landscapes with his felt tips, dreaming that a magic carpet would arrive outside his window to take him away from this dismal grey hell and whisk him to the land of scimitars sultans and sultry belly dancers under a deep blue starry sky. Then he flew there as an adult and got food poisoning. Sad!

this is actually pretty accurate jack and i dont know if its based on my posts here because i cant remember them

 

[luka]

thats what the thread is about though. how brilliant the dream is how much better it is than the tawdry reality of these terrible foreign countries.

 

[luka]

the real Arabia isnt oil sheiks waving dollar bills at ukranian prostitutes, its magic carpets, sultry belly dancers, magic lamps, the djin

It means White Russia doesn't it?

Yes. From a Proto-Indo-European root meaning white or bright, also found in Belgium, Belgrade and Belfast.

I did actually know that, though. It's just the sort of thing I know.
