Re: What do you miss from home?
Am I missing something? What's the difference between a shwarma and a doner kebab? In AD all you've got to do is fall out of the Cellar at 3:30, stumble round to The Automatic for a shwarma, and Abdul's your uncle.

Re: What do you miss from home?
And friend here got chased all over town coz his girlfriend gave someone the finger, ended up at the cop shop. Some full-of-himself Lebanese gentleman (cough) couldn't bear the offense of an oriential lady suggesting where he might like to stick it--I mean, the indignity, I'm such a big man that I couldn't possibly let something like that pass, what would my friends think (even though they never saw it)? Officer, lock this woman up...

Apart from one doner kebab I had 27 years ago in East London when my Mustang threw a conrod (the taste of which I don't recall), all other doner kebabs I've had in UK (which probably total about 4) have been when I've been pissed. Virtually all shwarmas I've had in UAE have been when I've been in a similar condition. And I'd be hard pressed to describe to you the difference between the two. Hic.

Going to watch the Forest on a Saturday afternoon followed by a good band at Rock City, a few pints of Castle Rock and finally a good kebab from Antalia's

I really miss Soccer AM but most of all I miss the outrageous parties thrown by my family, in three months three missed so far and lots of RSVP's with apologies sent out for the next few engagements.
