If it doesn't work then look it up under Walk like an Egyptian. It is all about how we like to walk on the road.It is on the 2nd page.

I hate it I can never get a youtube link to work.
"Guys" help! What am I doing wrong?

Thanks A.A. for your help but even though I put in the p8 at the end when I submit it the 8 disappears.I'm destined to be a techno klutz, hope you got to see it anyway.

Answer 11

for # 8
I went for 2 months journey in Europe when I was a college boy, I insists that one of my friends will drive me to the airport and will pick me up when I return (my cousin was in Germany waiting for me)

I struggled & managed to go with my friend as decided

But when I returned back I found that my mom called my friend & asked him not to pick me up as she will do that
to find her in the airport waiting for me with:
- My Aunt, Aunt's husband & son
- My Grandmother & grandpa
- My uncle (her brother), wife & daughter

They all came in 3 cars !!!!!!!!!!!!!

But what really made me angry that 3am Abdo el bawab & his wife merat 3am Abdo were not there (7'awana!)
