	A "RIP OFF", PLEASE TRY TO UTILIZE YOUR MONEY IN A BETTER WAY. 

	HERE IS THE SUMMARY WHY I RATE THIS SHOW SO LOW:

	1.  	There are three new singers (not so good), who
		given more time individually then even Benjamin
		sisters or Hassan Jehangir. So if the show lasts
		for three hours, Benjamin sisters will be given
		about 20 minutes. And Hassan Jehangir may get even
		less since he is the tail ender. It gets really boring
		to listen to this crap of the new singers in order to
		wait for Benjamin sisters and Hassan Jehangir.

	2.	Some of Omar's jokes were atleast 6 years old,
		give me a break, I heard over 95% of these in Karachi.
		The only thing he does good is to shut up the
		people in the crowd with his indecent remarks,
		and ofcourse he has the mike so it is not a 
		balanced duel of remarks.

	3.	Hassan Jehangir comes at the end, and since the
		show starts late anyway, the guy because of
		HAWA HAWA is given the least time of all the
		singers. (The building is to be closed on time
		even if Mr. Omar Shariff is late in starting the
		show as much as an hour).


	4.	The worst joke performed by a comedian, is to 
		degrade Pakistan. Mr Sharif really takes the
		cake for this. One of his jokes were
		to pose as if Javed Miandad was also there &
		he is coming to the stage for just few moments,
		people were asked to give a welcome to the star
		of the Pakistani Cricket team, ofcourse the crowd
		started giving a standing ovation, but Mr. Sharif
		said this was my joke, (playing with sentiments
		of Pakistanis is the joke of the worst joker).
		I really dont think Jawed Miandad will associate
		himself with such cheapness.

	5.	I truly beleive that the show is worth only $5
		since Benjamin sisters 3 songs are there, and
		to listen to HAWA HAWA and if time allows about
		two more songs from him. The rest is all JUNK.

	6.	The most horrible was the young Amitabh, the
		guy wears atleast four inch high heel shoes
		(to look taller then another actor villian) and acts
		on the voice of Amitabh (reminds me of the kids
		of about 7 - 10 years who try to play the good
		guys and bad guys fist fights).

	I hope that Omar improves his standards and try to put
	some thing more funny in the routine (other than himself).
	He just cannot survive on Bakra Kiston Par and Mr 420.

In fact apart from astrologers predicting something,  astro-physicists
had predicted,  that in any year where  sunspot activity is much above 
normal,  there is more likelihood of air crashes,  accidents etc,  and
that has something to do with the havoc sunspot activity causes to the
electro-magnetism.

	   At a more personal level, I would agree with Jawad, that
modeling (britishspelling modelling) has elements of acting (because a
model pretends to be someone (s)he isn't) and prostitution (because

People are people, I do know of Swedes that converted to Hare Kristna
(and back again). Same interesting observation as well, we have this
religion highly influenced by the Indian culture, and Nordic people
convert to it. At the same time, the 'classical' Nordic religions
are not at all important anymore. I guess there could be many reasons
why people convert to all forms of religions, including fanatical forms
of religious worshipping. It's really up to each one of us to do whatever
we want. Anyway, I agree that a liberated Swedish women as a Moslem
is a very bizarre combination.

     You'll have no trouble at all working in an academic environment.
     In fact, you might find that you'll have trouble learning the local
     language because English is almost a second language in
     Scandinavia. I know of English speaking people who have lived here
     5-6 years, who still don't speak Swedish, because they don't have
     to learn it. On the other hand I've witnessed a determined American
     learn the language almost fluently in 4 months time.

Hey, Cool it.....

All of you and me, cool it....

The history of this posting is like this:

First someone asked whether he could contact his friends, which are located
at the nato base in keflavik, over the Internet connection that Ice land
has.  He got a 'typo' in the spelling of the name of our country, he called
it Ice Land on two or three occasions.
Then I corrected him, saying that the name is really Iceland (in one word),
then Kurt posted and made a joke of all that (or that is how I took it),
even if he skipped the smiley.
Then some more postings with more info about the possibilities about
contacting those persons on that base.
Then, several months later rks (hi reykja :-) saw fit to post again, and
that was to give some comments on Kurts earlier posting, which was in a 
reply to mine.
And now Kurt has replied back.

Hey, why can't we be nice to each other, instead of bickering around.

I took Kurt's first posting in this thread as a joke, even if the smileys
were lacking.

I hope we can rest at this?

(even if we spell the name of Iceland incorrectly :-)
