					<description>WoE
&lt;i&gt;Real men like Rod Damon probably don’t have to rely on snap shots of unnaturally enhanced women&lt;/i&gt;

Damn straight !
There's no substitute for the real thing
He probably only wants to borrow their jeans anyway !
Keep it Up !

					<description>Rod,

If we've told you once we've told you a thousand times, women are nothing but trouble :)  Perhaps the new compartmentalized site will annex the Hot Chicks, leaving the rest of the high brow stuff to stand on it's own.... now that would be telling!  Real men like Rod Damon probably don't have to rely on snap shots of unnaturally enhanced women... we're sure he sees enough flesh in his day to day life and let's hope that goes for the rest of you menfolk :)

					<description>WoE
I'm not sure how far th eban extends, it would be interesting to know if it extends to China.
It's only going to apply to those countries that try to consore the internet so hopefully not too many.

As to exactly why ... I would imagine it's to do with images and SEO using images

It's the girls wot done for me guv !

					<description>Rod,

Wonder if Mr Damon is the reason Qatar became more liberal, he tends to have that affect!  Back to the old chestnut of you being banned... do we know why?  The whole sock and sandal thing is bound not to have gone unnoticed by expats of a certain age.... could they be the ones who have kicked you out?  All the hard work some of us do in order to keep this site respectable, a thankless task.  Do we know if you are accepted in the rest of the Middle East and beyond?  Perhaps best not to dig too deep...

					<description>WoE
whilst I would not consider wearing shorts for anything other than a sporting event I would accept, but not encourage, that they could be worn by men on the other side of the equator.
Note the word 'could' not 'should'

There is certainly no excuse for walking around the streets of England in shorts.
Last summer I saw someone wearing not only shorts but also sandals and socks.
Such was the trauma that it took 3 days of polishing my Church's Oxfords and pressing of Hermes ties to recover :)

All of this is by-the-by though and gets us no closer to the justice, or rather lack of, in my being banned.
What's the world coming to ?</description>

					<description>&lt;i&gt;I’ll blame Rod Damon&lt;/i&gt;

Don't blame me lame brain !
I've been all over this area on missions and the like and get on very well there.
A feel a strange affinity with the indiginous population, perhaps it's because we share the same view of women driving !
Keep it Up !

					<description>Rod,

Taken from the blurb about Qatar ... &lt;i&gt; 'Before the liberalisation, it was taboo for men to wear shorts in public' &lt;/i&gt; ... surely you and they are singing from the same hymn sheet :)  Could be that now they are liberal, shorts are compulsory...
