It all started in Feb 2000

Part Time Arab: Not quite English enough to be British, yet definitely not Lebanese enough to be Arabic, or Phoenician or whatever you want to call it. Moved back to London a few years ago after a 7 year stint in Beirut, and am interested in juicy dialog with any funked up, hip and happy creative flavoured 20-40 year olds. Any interesting Lebanese Londoners with crazy stories to tell, a sense of humour or an interest in an invite to A seasonal Glittchy underground tea party for part time Arabs get typing!

It all started with an advert on the Lebanese White pages. The perfect directory for every self respecting Lebanese to mingle and compare notes on every aspect of there lives. My part time arab status was cemented. Did my ad sound too pretentious? Would it stand out amongst the 20 zillion other entries? Can you guess what happened?
