It doesn't surprise me that when a girl comes in saying she's looking for girl - friends that out from under every rock crawls a man seeking girl - friends they previously didn't realise they needed. It's always the same, it's a good thing the mods ... Read More

If you head down to the football training ground in Al Fateh, Juffair, you might find some like minded people. There's an outdoor and indoor pitch there and it's a matter of finding the bright lights and following them. Also maybe head to the ... Read More
