scotland of course it counts :P Ok, I have to say that if Scotland counts as a country, then so would each of the Emirates would count as a country! You just can't count Scotland as seperate!! But here's a question. Would you count Gibraltar as a seperate country?? (for those who don't know, Gibral...

The machine kept going out of time again - so funny just making up the lyrics.

they need to fix that machine.

Sometimes i feel like a loser, how many times to get a reply "We regret to inform....." Seriously, if you feel like a loser than I must have felt like a criminal. I got 100+ regret letters and those were the guys who bothered to reply. It's tough to find a job here... damn tough, don't th...

Now that I find I have a chunk of free time on my hands... I need a hobby.

So as usual, I'm going to ask you guys, what are your hobbies, and what do you think would be a good hobby for me?

Over to you forumers!

raidah wrote:nobody can tell u what should be ur hobby.

Well, I was kind of hoping for suggestions, you know... ideas?

And then I could take them on board and choose a hobby.

Have you thought about taking up golf?? That way, next time I come to Dubai, I'll have someone to go and play with! (selfish I know!) I used to play a bit of golf but its just too hot at the moment, that and I'm looking for something that I could do in my own time if necessary, i.e. in the evenings...

Well I'd consider this post hijacked. You could have just got a room.

Well I'd consider this post hijacked. You could have just got a room. oh come on :wink: lemme ask u smthing. what is a hobby in ur definition? Something to exercise your mind or your body, but you do it for enjoyment, not for work or education (unless you find education fun but that's a wobbly one)...

the_zooter wrote:Can we get back on topic please.....

Oh, Ian - I guess you could just spend more time on here. We could call it "doing an arnie" !!

Well, I was thinking about spending less time on here.

I have it!! You could build the Contructacon! It will be a themed ride where participants are made to scale scaffolding in 40 degree heat sometimes up to 50 stories high, with no safety equipment. Whats more the ride will last from 6 am in the morning to 6 pm in the evening, with a small break somew...

You may but it will take some time to come through and in the meantime your visit visa will well and truly expire. But we'll have your passport anyway, so don't worry.

the_zooter wrote:But that doesn't necessarily mean you play, does it??

Yes, I'm a closet female - like to buy things I'd never use.

Well, unless your suicidal, golf this time of year is off the cards.

I perhaps like to do something left of field. Not painting though.

Do you want to do a sport, or just something to occupy the time?? Well, I'll probably drag my bum to Rugby training in the next couple of weeks, but I'm over the hill now so that will be more of a social thing. I'd like something to occupy my time, but not wittle it away so-to-speak. Maybe somethin...

Have you tried getting a tee time? This is the busiest time of the year!

That's because its cheap and the world is full of crazy golfers.

Poor pigeons. I'm against the senseless torture of clay models. Ever since I was edumacated by a pack of neglected garden gnomes.

I would of course like to organise a world tour of the Stans.

Just how man Stans there are I don't know...

Pakistan
Afghanistan
Turkmenistan
Khazakstan

Awesome, thanks for sharing I didn't know about this one.

Yeah, handy thread too, reminded me I had to top up

gtmash wrote:I had a hobby. Then it became my work. So my work is my hobby. Ideal situation!

I'm quite happy with my work but need a release from it.

It is a great position to be in to have something of a hobby turn into work though, but you have to be careful it doesn't suck the passion out of you.

For ian--> since you are raining champ of DF Bowling, they do have leagues here why not join one? I have thought about bowling, but I'd like to embark on something new. Bowling every now and then is fun, but every week becomes a bit boring. It's 100% fair and accurate to say, I don't know what I wa...

XRW-147 wrote:Time for a serious contribution... what about some volunteer work Ian? K-9 friends and the like could always use more volunteers.

As much as I'd like to help in this arena, I'm not a dog lover. I might be showing my ignorance here of exactly what K9 and friends do mind you.

Maybe cos your looking on this forum rather than a dating website??

Maybe because you're spending too much time on the computer?

haha actually its the divorce that gets you the worst!

Well, I've been there too.

Not what I'd call a great hobby.

Tell them you're curious as to why they want your passport and you don't want to cause trouble with the dept. of labour.

Honestly, what kind of job are you coming here for?
