"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

"THOSE RUSSIANS"
I saw a documentary on Rasputin last night and I was disappointed - it was nothing like the song!( I much prefer the song! )
Having heard the song ( "Rasputin" by Bonnie M ) and based my entire knowledge of Russian history on it ( along with the 1980 song "Moscow" ) I was very disappointed at the historical inaquaracies in the documentary - e.g they claimed his first name was "Grigor" wheras we all know it was "Rahrah" ( as in "Rahrah Rasputin,lover of the Russian queen" )!
