Hey Lee,

Hope you settle in quickly. You should be able to make friends quickly in Dubai. I am not much of the 'going out' kind of guy though!! :-)

Cheers. Hope you have a good time in Dubai.

Don't know what you're into Lee, but I have a group that likes to wakeboard, snowboard, climb and generally do all sorts of crazy stuff.

What do you like?

We have occasional DF meets. Not been one for a while as some of the people were not the kind you would want to meet. They have gone away now.

Lets see how sensible the forum gets before we decide to re-activate any physical get togethers.

As I said before...lets see how sensible this place can get before we jump into face to face.

I don't see much posting in the Culture forum?

Let's wait until we reach the DF tipping point before the meet up.

I think we already have collections of Connectors, Mavens & Salesmen

Hahahahaha :)

I am new and I like this forum. I had a friend who told me some controversy that happened here before.......well, that's history.

Yeah, sorry not so many meets for the newbies here. Some the old school still get together and I am often to be found propping up a bar with such names as Fayz, Constantine, Scarlet, Ian and The Big Picture.

Not really any historical controversy here, just a few knuckleheads who decided it would be more fun to be destructive rather than constructive. They are now holding up various parts of the new metro system. (Don't forget the DFM can find you wherever you are!) Its a shame

Hey Soul...yeah, call me more cynical, I have had an 'Dubai epiphany' of sorts after spending some time looking at the seedier underbelly. However there are still the good bits and the bad bits in equal measure and I take everything with a hefty pinch of salt.

Yeah, he's been jetting around all over the place. Spent some time in Singapore as well. He has a new video out that's airing on MTV Asia at the moment. Pretty damn good it is too! he and I shared a bottle of Jack at the weekend round at DK Towers.

You still in touch with CarGirl? She just moved and is doing the DXB - Abu Dhabi commute now.

:D :D :D
