Do they know they're idiots?

Dear readers,

I am blogging from the airport at the moment, where for some strange reason I can write posts, but I can't actually view my blog. In fact, the Zajil connection is so temperamental that MSN won't connect, nor will it open gmail, or hotmail, or anything. But, surprise surprise, 2:48 a.m. works. What kind of Nazi bullshit is this?

Also, Smartlink can kiss my ass.

Anyway, I have a plane to catch. Don't miss me too much. And I bet you all the money in the world there will still be idiots to blog about by the time I get back!

Yep. We've all been there.

Earlier this evening:

3 to 6 hours later:

Drunk Asian man found nude: Police have arrested an Asian man for consuming alcohol, reports Al-Watan daily. According to a security source the man was semi-naked lying next to a garbage container in Mangaf. Two Kuwaiti women who were passing by thought the man was dead and informed the police. However, some passersby and friends helped the drunkard to wear a pair of trousers before police arrived. According to a security source the man was so high on alcohol he did not know what he was doing.

The Headlines

Oh Lord. The headlines. Please, someone say something. PLEASE!

Filipina back from the dead: A Filipino woman who was injured in a road accident on the Arabian Gulf Street has been admitted to a hospital, reports Arrouiah daily. The victim who works for a well-known hotel was on her way to a bus stop when a speeding Pakistani motorist hit her. It has been reported the victim’s heart stopped pumping and paramedics revived her with an electrical shock. The motorist has been referred to a police station.

What a morbid fucking headline.

UK, Kuwaiti families in sky-high brawl: The Kuwait International Airport police have referred two families - a British and a Kuwaiti - to the concerned authorities for fighting aboard a flight coming from London, reports Arrouiah daily. The daily did not give more details.

After such a sensational title (you know I love a good expat vs. kuwaiti gossip), the "daily did not give more details"? Seriously? Fuck the daily!


Daggers drawn over girl: A police lance corporal has filed a complaint with the Sabah Al-Salem Police Station accusing three men —including a first sergeant — of assaulting him, reports Al-Rai daily. According to the complainant the first sergeant pulled out a butcher’s knife and threatened to kill him. He added, some passersby intervened and saved the man’s life. The complainant said the incident took place when the first sergeant was harassing an unidentified Arab girl. When a Bedoun youth intervened the suspect took him to a police station and was beaten up. When the police officer on duty learned the truth he warned the first sergeant told him not to repeat the offence. The suspect thought it was the lance corporal who complained about him to the superior and picked up on him.

There are no daggers in this story. None at all.

Speaking of Jahra..

Love the music.

Cross dressers & Gang wars: Jahra revamped

You'd think the following reports would come out of, say, South Central LA...

Cross-dresser held: Jahra securitymen have arrested an unidentified non-Kuwaiti young man for cross dressing inside a famous commercial complex in Jahra. Security sources said police stopped the youth after noticing he was a man dressed like a woman. The youth tried to evade arrest but police overpowered him and referred him to the concerned authorities.

4 Suffer Knife wounds in Qasr gang war: A fight erupted between two groups of youths in Al-Qasr recently resulting in injuries to four of them. Immediately after receiving a call about the fight, police rushed to the location and referred the injured to Jahra Hospital. Security sources said the youths attacked each other with knives. Some of the youths managed to evade arrest while those who were apprehended were referred to the concerned authorities. A case was registered at Jahra Police Station and investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances leading to the scuffle.

"Marginal Labor"

The picture really says it all.

8 held for immoral acts in Khaitan: The Farwaniya security personnel recently raided three apartments in Khaitan and arrested eight Asians for committing immoral acts. A reliable source told the Arab Times the arrests came following an ongoing campaign by the security agencies from the Farwaniya governorate to rid the area of what the authorities call ‘marginal’ laborers.
The same source said the arrested persons have confessed to committing immoral crimes.

Although, I have to say that the guy in the back looks like he just happened to be wandering the corridors and found a good photo op...!

Filipino assaulted over 100 fils coin by Indians and Bangladeshis: Police arrested nine Asians, including Indians and Bangladeshis, for allegedly assaulting a Filipino man in Sharq area, reports Al-Anba daily. Reportedly, the Filipino wanted to buy a bottle of water and gave a very damaged 100 fils coin to the Asians. When the Asians refused to accept the coin, the Filipino allegedly insisted on buying the water bottle with the same coin. Soon the disagreement developed into a major fight and the Filipino was at the receiving end of the blows. Police rushed to the scene, rescued the Filipino and arrested the Asians.

How the hell do you "badly damage" a 100 fils coin? Unless you're like David Blaine or something.
