Eid Mubarak!
Ramadan is officially over and the Muslim world is about to give thanks after a month of contemplation, temperance and the chance to be granted God's forgiveness.
Well actually....
Ramadan is just about over and no one can really decide what day Eid is on so various communities will hold it on different days and absolutely everyone will be very, very confused but give thanks for the chance to overdose on fried food and revisit long-running family arguments.
But whatever day they do hold it on, Britain's streets will be full of young men and women of Pakistani descent melding their cultural backgrounds in one big celebration that encapsulates our country.
That's right.. binge drinking and hooliganism - Eid style.
Apart from the opportunity to laugh at a drunk guy, the other point of this post is to ease us gently into the world of Pakistani dysfunction, which will be revisted in greater depth very shortly. Happy Eid!!

Happy Eid
Happy Eid Londonstani!!
Uh...er...if that pic and the drunken celebration was in london...wouldn't that be "Londonstani Dysfunction"?
OK, we'll compromise on "Chavistani"??
BTW in the post on dysfunction can you explain the meaning the Chavistani flashing the right Kidney? Is he showing us where the stones removal scar will be when the binging catches up to him?
Eid Mubarak, folks. Also a
Eid Mubarak, folks.
Also a belated Shana Tova.
The elements of my cultural
The elements of my cultural heritage are at war within my subconscious so I have no suitable phrase to offer in exchange - except, perhaps?
May there be just peace everywhere.
The festivities in the video
The festivities in the video were in Manchester, I think.. and since Manchersterstani sounds rubbish, I think we should settle for Chavistani.. which is a great word. I have no idea what the guy in the video is doing.. but i suspect he's trying to emulate the style of a traditional and slightly risque type of dancing usually done by women.You are correct Londonstani,
You are correct Londonstani, that is indeed what he was trying to do.
Don't really understand how Pakistani "dysfunction" plays or relates to Eid and/or this video, however.
Please enlighten me.
I was disappointed, as I was
I was disappointed, as I was led to believe that Eid leads to folks going mental, but I was in Aqaba, Jordan, and basically it was a bunch of Saudis eating breakfast and seeming happy they didn't have to wake up super-early or wait until sundown to gnosh a bit. Boo!
Well Da Kine, you should
Well Da Kine, you should hear every night during Ramadan in Bosnia after Sundown. Bang! Bang! AK party poppers galore! And yes - brewskis!
Of course, that's a drinking culture. The Serb Orthodox Church around here has a hard liquor bar in the Church for Sunday Mass.
That's hard core.
