When is the last time, if ever, anyone in Kuwait was lashed as punishment for a crime?
And do adulterers get lashed too if they are charged with the crime or do they simply face imprisonment and deportation?
I was interested to read this in the Daily Mail:
“Under Kuwait’s strict Sharia Law, married couples who commit adultery [...]

Has anyone been to the Acanthe School of Etiquette & Protocol in Kuwait?
I was both surprised and pleased to see the ad for a local school of etiquette.
Tonight at the Loyac Annual music concert in Mishref, I was struck by the complete disregard the audience has in the presence of people presenting on stage or [...]

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Such excitement from the one and only Arab Times.
This would make such an interesting short story.
“KUWAIT CITY, Nov 25: A drunken boyfriend of a Kuwaiti woman sustained injuries to his hand when the woman tried to hide him on the rooftop of her husband’s home in Meshrif, after the man announced he was coming home.

When any of us mentions the word cancer, our voice level tends to go down and the word reverberates in the air like an anathema. Many of us would opt not to go for cancer screening simply because we are afraid of the results. Often, however, early detection and treatment does save lives.
When someone you [...]

Recently in Kuwait, a man was arrested for voyeurism:
Arab expatriate in Salmiya arrested for watching husband and wife having sex
KUWAIT CITY, Nov 17: An Arab expatriate was arrested in Salmiya on charges of voyeurism.
Reportedly, a man discovered that the Arab had been watching from his balcony as he and his wife had sex, and immediately [...]

Interesting how one thing leads top another.
The news that Mark Lester may be the biological father of the late Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris, led me to refresh my memory of the young actor in Oliver the movie.
I ended up stumbling on an interesting film he acted in with Jack Wild called  Melody (aka S.W.A.L.K.) about [...]

What is the reason behind the 5 Litres Experiment contest? Why should it be a challenge to fill up five litres of sperm? It’s probably being carted off by aliens to another earth-like planet or to a mass fertilizing sperm bank somewhere where they make cosmetics for more youthful complexions.

I’m sick. It’s the third bad cold I’ve gotten within a month and a half. I’ve always thought I was as robust as a horse but I’m buckling at the knees this season. Overworked. Stressed. Sure I am happy but my immunity is low for some odd reason. I read last night about the Black [...]

Well, well, well…
The truth is out about us ladies at last!
Wealthy Men Give Women More Orgasms…
The latest study reveals that women with wealthy partners had more orgasms during sex than others.
Maybe that is why the price of dowries in Kuwait has skyrocketed and men are  reportedly miffed with females whose families ask for a very [...]

It was 18 years ago today when you walked in to my room and said: “It has started.”
You were referring to the start of the aerial strikes in Operation Desert Storm against targets in Kuwait and Iraq on January 17th 1991.
Neither of us were happy as we exchanged blank looks. War is destructive. The anxiety [...]

What does it say about the way men perceive women? That there [...]

I like this word:   Sorceress!
I am astounded:   She says she has earned 85,000 KD through black magic!
(And I am increasingly thinking that a university degree does not always guarantee you a hefty salary…it must be how resourceful a person is)
I wonder:  Why do female university students go to a sorceress?
I think:   that the policemen who [...]

I wonder if this site actually works?
Some women use PMS to excuse irritable, maddening, inexplicable, and oftentimes downright outrageous behaviour.
Oftentimes the men in our lives are perplexed or driven to retaliatory action when faced with  women experiencing PMS.
So the caring people at PMS Buddy thought up an idea to assist the people in our lives [...]
