  • What’s wrong with you?

    … what the fuck is wrong with you people? Why do you drive like 7ayaweineit here and you totally abide by the rules in whatever other country you go to?

    Suddenly everybody has an urgent issue to catch? Can’t you stop on red light anymore? And why the hell can’t you just stick to one line?? ya khayyeh tab 2 lines.. but just don’t move accross all the 4 or 5 lines of the highway every 2 seconds!!

    Also, should you play the role of the smart ass 24/7? You always want to find some shortcut to bypass ALL the cars in front of you!! Take a break people, do drive “politely” for once.

  • PageRank 4!

    Pagerank 4

    I have just noticed today that my blog here has a PageRank 4! I wasn’t following the PageRank update here on Plus961 because I noticed that the Lebanese blog sphere doesn’t give much importance to it.

    If you’re not familiar with what PageRank is about, well it basically determines the importance level (on a scale of 1 to 10) of a certain page on the internet. The more links you get for your website, the higher the PageRank you get.

  • Stupid of the day

    I would like to congratulate Mr. Salman Al-Rayes for his new PLATINUM mobile phone number which is 70/707070. “Mabrouk isteiz”.

    In a platinum mobile numbers auction today hosted by MTC touch at the Movenpick Hotel, he purchased it for 450,000 freaking dollars. The guy paid nearly half a million dollars for a fucking mobile phone number!!

    I wonder what was Mr. Salman thinking of when he woke up today…

    Update: There was more than one crazy buyer yesterday, check the complete list here.
    Some other guy called “Bilal Bondokji” (Syrian?), one of the “Petit Cafe” owners, paid 855,000 dollars for 9 platinum numbers!!

  • To minister Ghazi Aridi

    Dear minister Ghazi Aridi,

    Have you been driving in Beirut lately? Did you notice the potholes everywhere in the city roads? And did you notice those open manholes?

    I nearly crashed my car yesterday on my way to Rawche because of an open manhole! I was very lucky to have sopotted it.

    Please do understand that unlike you guys (MPs and ministers) I cannot change my car on a monthly basis. I worked really hard to pay for my 2 months old car and I won’t like it if something broke because of your potholes.

    I hope you will read this post someday when googling your name! (Would you mind commenting if you did?)

    Regards,
    Beiruti Alfa Romeo driver.
