scoots Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Dratsy, Two points to make... 1) Turban is a place in Libya. Maybe Pick meant this...? 2) from a speech on 22nd Feb this year by Colonel Qaddafi... "Libya wants chaos, beards and turbans." Take yer pick (do you see what I did there? ) Don't always look for the bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Dratsy, Two points to make... 1) Turban is a place in Libya........ "Libya wants chaos, beards and turbans." .......... Too many Turbans in one country could lead to confusion, you would need a New Turban, Turban by the sea and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dratsy Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Two points to make... 1) Turban is a place in Libya........ Libya wants chaos, beards and turbans Forgive my ignorance but for the life of me I can't find it on any map, maybe you could help? the arab headdress is commonly known as a "Keffiyeh" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keffiyeh#Varieties_and_variations I know using wiki is pretty lazy but if it fits the term tuban is is one used by westerners who are wholly ignorant of this fact. your quotation is i would suspect taken from a newspaper and as such subject to translation errors. although gaddaffi speaks pretty good english he tends not to, even when dealing directly with western leaders like tony blair he uses a translator.One theory for this is that after the talking is done he can change his mind and blame any inconsistency on poor translation. But hey this is totally of topic so lets get back toHighland fuels aren't they a bunch of c*** s****ers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoots Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 "turban" seems a catch-all word for all the head-dresses worn in this fashion, throughout the middle east, Asia and Africa, not just India. The only Indians who wear turbans are Sikhs, as far as I know, (might well be wrong) and they are, in fact, called "pagri". As you brought Wiki into it...http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turban Keffiyeh? Try telling the Tuareg, for one, that they wear scarves! I got your back, 'Pick! "Forgive my ignorance but for the life of me I can't find it on any map, maybe you could help?" I'd be delighted!...http://travelingluck.com/Africa/Libya/(LY09)/_81258_Å¢urbÄn.html#local_map But as you say to get right back to the topic of the fuel suppliers, you're damn right, and then some!!!

Sherlock Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 let's get down and dirty now...WHO IS Dick Balaclava The call must go out - send for Sherlock and his pipe...Smokin Never fear, I am here, my friend! Wait! What's this? A cunning, heartless and nefarious Shetlan' villain, of keen intelligence and Machiavellian psyche?! Good God, sir! Watson, fetch my cape and cap. Hurry, man! There's not a moment to lose... the game is afoot! Oh. Wait, Watson, no need to rush. It is merely some modern day padmen, apparently holding the islands to ransom... sigh!

Para Handy Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Cheaper fuel on its way! THE HIGHER than average petrol and diesel prices in the northern isles are set to be reduced by five pence per litre after the European Union approved a UK bid for a fuel duty derogation.
