Scouse Burkha:

I think Pam and Ronald from Padiddlyboing, Idaho have it about right!

Aroused?

Definately not aroused - they sounded like early teens. If Angelina Jolie wore a burka (and u didnt know it was her) how could you get aroused as there is no shape.

I was AMUSED, AMAZED and a few other words if my vocab was any better.

I once had to East Ham in London and was standing in front of a shop waiting for someone. Almost in front of me two friends met from opposite sides. What made this interesting was that they were both wearing the full burka with only a narrow slit for the eyes and the first teenager said "Jasmin!" and the other one said "Hina!". I'm standing there looking at both of them thinking how the hell did they recognise each other? Even if they had agreed to meet at that spot there were many other burka wearers walking past.

Next time try something figure hugging that ends just below the curve of your buttock, paired with some above the knee boots with a 3-4" heel.

It'd be even worse if you were a woman.

Yawn.. death by ennui.

I don't really understand why they wear burkhas given the Quran states both men and women should keep their gaze lowered. So if everyone has their gaze lowered who is there to look in anyone's face?

I personally have no issue with what anyone wears.
I'm currently visiting a friend's relative in hospital in France (no one from their family can get here) which has a much higher muslim population than indigenous French (the area where I and the hospital are). Now it is summer so I tend to wear dresses which perhaps shows a little of my cleavage and I must admit the looks I got from some people you would think I was standing on a street corner, my legs apart saying 'come on boys'. I refuse to change my attire in a secular country where no one else has any problem with it. If I visit Islamic countries I dress accordingly and most certainly don't judge anyone. Shame I now feel a bit uncomfortable here.

Oi SB! Do you reckon "Gibbon" is "Menelaus" in drag?

Nooo.

Ok you win I've bit. But that is just outrageous and damned insulting old boy.

Converts always seem more fanatical/loony in any religion in my very limited experience. One chap I shared a house with seemed to spend most of his time making notes in his bible.

It is possible. I am detecting a faint whiff of Oregano over the all-pervading Brylcreem aroma!!

As all the best romantic stories do!

They'd be skint then, Inuit women are not attractive. Infact their men delibrately lose at pool so they can give them away to the winner. I've seen this happen in Fairbanks Alaska but thats another story that even EO couldn't make up. It did end up with a bayoneting though.
