To have very nearly got arrested this morning because of my loyalty to AIBU

I live in Doha, Qatar. This morning I was driving to a meeting and noticed a street called, and I kid you not, YANBU Street. So excited, I stopped dead and was just about to take a picture when I realised that there was a bit of a queue behind me and some cross looking Police officers were trying to work out what the hell I was doing. Hastily apologised and moved on. Imagine having to explain AIBU in Arabic!

It's a city in Saudi Arabia - I lived there as a child. It really confused me when I first came on here as I didn't understand how many people knew about itGrin!
