Men in black ... or white?

[Patricia Lotte]

With the future of Oranjemund in the hands of the men in white, I think it's time to reconsider your dress code and prepare for what lies ahead ... dishdashas for men and abayas for women, a few mosques around town and 5 calls for prayer per day, no more pork in the Spar, Friday and Saturday weekends, one month fasting for ramadan, the list is endless ... ah, don't we're gonna miss those men in black ...

What are these guys smoking??

[Patricia Lotte]

It's called a shisha (or hubbly bubbly). I'm not a smoker, but must admit that I do enjoy smoking the shisha under the stars. The tabocco can be of different flavours (strawberry, orange, licorice, etc) and the sound of the bubbles (there's like a water container at the bottom) and the smell of the tabbaco makes it a fun experience. Health-wise though, smoking one shisha is equivalent to several cigarettes ...

I have one of those hubbly bubbly's a present from a friend who worked for Fluor in the area of Dubei.

[Patricia Lotte]

They're great fun, especially when you're having a braai

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Must be honest haven't thought of trying it. Will give it a go....if a non-smoker can I'm sure I could.

[Patricia Lotte]

Do you have the flavoured tabacco?

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

I'll have to go check out the tobacco shops......I always thought you only smoked in it.   Now I've learn't something. Will report back.

[Patricia Lotte]

 spinningweed in this place would land us straight in jail ... so I wouldn't take the risk

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

I'll just go look for some flavoured tobacco, me thinks.

[Patricia Lotte]

Good luck and enjoy it! Let me know if you can't find some or if you need instructions ...

There are times where a dress is just not the right thing to be wearing. Check out this video  :emot19:

Even my kids go to the sheesha bar.
I visited one last year and came out with a headache even though I didn't smike myself.
Hard to believe I used to smoke 30 Goulliose rollups and more. If at a party, I'd smoke up to 50 or 60 that day.

Oh dear, you guys had better hope Mike doesn't read this part of the forum. He has something against hubbly bubblys!

There's going to be  soon!

[georg ruf jr.]

I think Michaels open mimded enough to let everybody chat about what he likes. I don't like the stuff either. Just stinks and gives you a headache. So what? Let people enjoy what they like Michele.
I prefer the smell of a good old braai....
