TALENT SHOW WITH NO SINGING AND NO DANCING. RELIGIOUS CHANTS OKAY

End of another extremely tiring and frustrating day. And an exhausting one as well. Glad it’s over. shut puter and leave much undone but just haven’t the energy.

However, I did see this in the paper today and thinks it’s a hoot.

Should you have the stomach for it, there is an embarrassingly bad and barf inducing video at the link. It’s so bad, imho, I just can’t post it here.

This will hand you a laff tho. Maybe.

Saudi Arabia’s Got Talent… so long as you’re NOT a woman and don’t sing or dance (but religious chanting is allowed)
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

A Saudi Arabian city’s talent show contest is unlikely to produce the Middle East’s answer to Susan Boyle - seeing as women and children have been banned from entering.
Contestants in Buraydah’s Got Talent, based in the oasis conservative hub for the austere Wahhabism branch of Islam, are also prohibited from singing or dancing.

Millions across the region already follow Arabs Got Talent, the official spin-off of Simon Cowell’s popular format, which airs on Dubai-based satellite channel MBC4.

It has seen 18-year-old Emirati singer Shamma Hamdan, who sparked outrage by appearing without a headscarf, rise to stardom.
But she would not even be handed an audition in the Saudi version.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
