Taking a year to sort my head and get back to a place of stability (past few months have been a nightmare, has to get over two chicks i cared about a lot) next sept im going to take an MA in political journalism, after that using my dads contacts i am going to do an internship in the PR depts at the UN in Geneva, after that i am going to get into a PR firm working in politics, or work in PR for a political party. I used to want to go into politics, but then i realised that to do that id have to abandon my morals and ideologies, something that i am not prepared to do.

Gulf states order Blackberry users to cover their phones in a tiny burqa




New laws in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will require that every Blackberry user dress their phone a miniature burqa and face veil.

‘The Blackberry burqa means that people can still use their phones,’ said a Saudi government official, ‘but the tiny niqab that covers the screen will stop them from reading emails or accessing the Internet.’

The introduction of the burqa is intended to conceal the Blackberry from unwanted attention. With the veil in place only a tiny slit remains revealing just the time and date, thus preserving its modesty.

‘This is not about censorship or oppression,’ said UAE telecommunications regulator Mohammed al-Ghanem, ‘this is about preserving the essential purity of the Blackberry and protecting it from being corrupted.’

Some businessmen believe that making their phone wear a burqa can be very liberating. ‘It’s great,’ said one, ‘with the veil in place I am free to walk about with my Blackberry in public without the feeling that people are staring lustily at my multi-media application. It also covers my shame for not owning an iPhone.’

Some religious groups have welcomed the policy. ‘If Allah had meant us to freely access the Internet He would have given us web browsers in our heads,’ said a local imam, adding ‘There is absolutely no mention of instant messaging in the Koran and at no point did Muhammad, or any of his eleven wives, ever say LOL, ROFL or PMSL.’

If the Blackberry burqa is successful it may spread to other countries. However, experts say that dressing your phone in a burqa could result in poor reception, especially in France and Belgium.

The British government has yet to declare an official line on phone burqas although Immigration Minister Damian Green said that to ban them would be ‘very unBritish’. He went on to explain that, ‘the British thing to do, as always, is to grumble and tut.’

The Saudi government have promised that anyone who refuses to dress their Blackberry in a burqa will face harsh punishment. ‘I am not saying exactly what we will do,’ said their Minister for Justice, ‘but suffice to say that it isn’t so easy to text with your toes.’

I have been working for 4 years after graduating. I regret not taking time off. I regret it even more when I think that I'll turn 26 this year and I am not that young anymore.

whats worth seing in bangalore (other than you two?)

gotta justify it to the guy im going with
It's not a very historical place. You got a few palaces n shit, but nothing more touristy. You'll find shit loads of pubs and restaurants here when compared to any other city here.

Now Hampi is about 350 kms from Bangalore, and that is a nice place to go to.

Somehow, I'm not really concerned about my weight. When I was a bit overweight, I never went on a diet or became conscious of what I was eating. :shifty:
I am able to maintain weight well, but where i work i cant bring myself to eat the food...because its so nasty so i am losing weight without choosing. When i'm at home i eat normally. Since i started working in june i have gone from 14 st 2 p to 12 st 4 p.

its a good thing because this is kind of the last time i can dramatically lose weight before i get too old and my family has a history of diabetes.
