i sat next to this dude on the bus today
at one of the bus stops he looked out of the window at a blonde girl walking towards our bus and said to me : “i was hoping she would sit next to me”
so i said : “i can put a wig on for you if you like?”
conversation ended right there!!
he didnt even say goodbye when he got off the bus!

Is he that accommodating for you too?
He does have an ace sense of humor.
As-Salaamu ‘alaikum,
I have a question for you: how many people were affected by the fires last month? I ask because we have had charity collectors in the local branch of WH Smith’s (newsagents) inviting people to donate money to the stricken Australians. My immediate reaction was that Australia was a wealthy country and the people affected are relatively few in number and not poor. I do understand that the area needs reconstruction, but how much of this can be done from within Australia, and how much will the insurance companies take care of? Normally, we see this kind of thing in England after an earthquake or flood in a densely-populated part of the third world, not a forest fire in Australia.
Walaikum asalaam,
There were over 2000 homes burnt down and a fair few businesses as well. Just over 200 people died. I think I read a newspaper article that stated that about 6000 insurance claims had been filed. A number (and I don’t know the percentage) of home owners were not insured and so are relying on donated money to rebuild their homes.
The area affected by the fires is actually very large. http://www.flickr.com/photos/nixwilliams/3268037763/ While it was in rural Victoria where the population density isn’t so high, the sheer speed at which the fires engulfed whole towns and the fact that many people were burnt and killed while they were fleeing the fires in cars and motorcycles has really affected the Australian public.
While many of the fires were deliberately lit, I think many are calling this Australia’s worst natural disaster.
