Waqs, have you been on this forum long? I'm guessing not- very rarely is anything given a very serious response. And this is a british forum and the brits are known for their senses of humour, perhaps you need to find one?;)

Hi and welcome by the way:D

What's apparent is nobody has verbally attacked anyone but people see the need to defend ?

I've seen nothing wrong with any of the posts and i found them quite amusing and i also found photo's quite breathtaking as well.

It's the British sense of humour and as Bhataboy say's he'd use the same to comment on the Pope.
The worlds gone politically correct mad , the art of good humour is the ability to laugh and make fun of yourself as well as others , don't try and paint another picture and spin it for your own means.

I'm not doing that at all...and if anything thats what youre doing in regards to my comment. Besides I did think glynnster's comment was a little juvenile, not offensive, but a little childish. Is it against the law for me to think that? Nope, not last time I checked.

Mate, I think the 'lighten up' attitude should work both ways :)

I can't say I was. A minority of the forums membership appear to think they're terribly clever with their snide remarks and "British" humor.

i think you'll find its the minority that have had a sense of humor bypass.

what amazes me is that there appears to be a que system and neat lines of people, that in itself must have taken 1400 yrs to organise

Why do you post then ? don't take life so seriously fella ....If you don't like the humour go elsewhere , you do have a choice..!

They were all really interesting.

In terms of photography I thought the fourth one was the best and thanks for sharing good shots.

I don't care about any religious sentiment as I'm not religious, but I'm happy for others to feel that way.

I found the Arabs in the Gulf adept at making sarcastic snide remarks.
