  • Saudi newspaper mocks The Patriarch Rai

    I would have loved to see the reaction if it was Hassan Nasrallah or the mufti who’s being mocked instead…!

    Patriarch Rai caricature

    The caricature can be found on Al-Watan’s website.

  • Maha Abdel Wahab – “The sex singer”

    Apparently Maha Abdel Wahab was the “Haifa Wehbe” of the 60’s who no one told us about!

    I don’t know from which Lebanese newspaper/magazine was this ad taken. I spotted it on Antique Arabia’s page on Facebook.

    Thanks to Doha Frhat.

  • Lebanese specialties by L’Orient-Le Jour

    I just found L’Orient-Le Jour is making a video series around Lebanon to introduce people to the Lebanese specialties from Sfiha Baalbakiyyeh, to Kibbe Nayyeh, Moujaddara and much more.

    The last video was published yesterday about Halewet El-Jeben, a specialty from Tripoli, and featuring Abdel Rahman Hallab’s grandson, Zaher Hallab.

    You can check the other specialties on L’Orient-Le Jour’s YouTube Channel. They’re all in french of course…

  • VIPs got food poisoning

    I was going through Assafir newspaper last night when I stumbled upon this piece of news

    Some VIP’s got food poisoning during an event they were attending at one of the famous hotels in Lebanon. I wonder which one is it… after all we might have to congratulate their chef for the good job he did if these people turned to be politicians! (In addition to avoid going there)

  • Today’s weird news

    I was reading today’s issue of Annahar newspaper when I came across this weird news:

    بعلبك: معاملات نفوس مع النفايات!

    بعلبك – “النهار”:
    عثر احد افراد قوى الامن الداخلي صباح الاثنين في بعلبك قرب مقام السيدة خولة، داخل احد مستوعبات النفايات على اكياس تحوي اوراقاً ثبوتية من هويات وطلبات تصحيحها ومعاملات ومستندات تابعة لدائرة نفوس بعلبك.
    وحضرت القوى الامنية على الفور، وارسلت الاوراق الى وزارة الداخلية وفتح تحقيق لتحديد المسؤوليات.

    If you ever lost track of a file at one of the ministries, now you know where it might have ended up!
