Sorry BM Im a thicko. What is wasta? is this text language? It's some serious pasta. :drunken: Eaten by a Rasta (Jamaican Hippy) :lol: Rastas don't eat pasta! they eat jerk chicken.-- Thu Nov 25, 2010 1:04 am -- Nasta the wiser boys and girls.

There are some fantastic properties in Al Mamza, you won't get one for £80,000 :D Opps sorry for the smilie, let's be serious BM! I often take little Miss Beth to Al Mamza as she likes to get an eye full of the local youths on their jet skis. I must admit to getting an eye full too, but I hide behin...

I'm in, is it on Facebook?

I thought I was replying to Who Do You Bunk With? Sorry Bruce, my mistake.

Herve, I am continuing with your book. I am taking it easy and now up to Chapter 6 where you start to plan your escape. My heart is in my mouth! I have noticed a deteriation in your mood as the book progresses. From being romantic and humerous you are now deadly serious when plotting the escape. At ...

Yes, Bruce, the last time I looked I was definately a female. Now please don't tell me you are one of the those men who think ladies don't give you the once over. I can assure you Bruce, that us ladies rate you men on exactly the same terms and if any other lady comes on and denies this, she is tell...

Yes, along with all the other chocolate soldiers risking their lives as Benwj enjoys his beer.

The point is that arabs need to learn to employ better contract negotiators. loooooooooool and those would be westerners would they? My understanding was the law firm that had 29 lawyers based at Dubai World failed to see it coming, and said law firm was British. Priceless. Perhaps Arabs should sto...

I'm risking my life BM everytime I take a taxi down sheik zayed road. Can I have a medal please? Yes, benwj, you can have a medal as big as a dust bin lid. Please can I pin it on? :D-- Thu Nov 25, 2010 5:47 pm -- Yes, along with all the other chocolate soldiers risking their lives No, not all with ...

Grunts?

Bethsmum

I'm jealous DD, I had to remove 10cm of snow from my car this morning but I do have a cold bottle of Chardonnay which I will drink before a roaring fire.

Bethsmum

Grunts? weren't you married to one? benwj that is a very uncharitable name for soldiers. Yes I have said on this forum before that I was married to a British soldier. They are a different breed to most men and would lay down their life for a friend. Have you ever had anybody willing to do that for ...

Bethsmum

Wow herve, I have accessed your Court file. I was very interested to read the compaint and the amounts claimed. Are DW dealing in Monopoly money or what? I'm surprised that DW admit to such losses.LOL. I don't want to say more here as I'm not sure what should be said on a public forum. Herve, this m...

Yes, hindsight is a wonderful thing, but some you win, some you lose, better luck next time eh?

DD is right - islamic banks for sharia reasons can't charge interest and therefore call it "profit" but its essentially the same apart from the fact that it allows them to charge the customer more due to the uncertain nature of the "profit" rate. Mortgages by islamic lenders are...

I'm jealous DD, I had to remove 10cm of snow from my car this morning but I do have a cold bottle of Chardonnay which I will drink before a roaring fire. I'd remove 10 cm of snow from the car in my skivvies and STILL take a dip in the pool. Even if it was frozen. Now I bet that's a sight to behold.

Bethsmum

Oh, I never thought of that, I do hope so.

Bethsmum

I can't say I ever came across that term for British soldiers. You're up early for a weekend.

Bethsmum

Yes, I've been but a sleepless night for me so I thought I would look at some 'stuff' on t'internet. The best of it is that I can't really afford to lose all that beauty sleep

Bethsmum

Tescos and Asda sell it.

Bethsmum

Our conversation was rather more animated than that

Palm Jumeirah, Joe.

Bethsmum

That's the spirit, Joe. If it goes wrong blame the wife! Yes, I agree, being scared can be fun, that's weird isn't it?

Bethsmum

Here's one especially for you Gez, me favourite little leprechaun! Two Irishmen were looking through Kays Catologue. Paddy says 'Look at those gorgeous women. The prices are reasonable too!' Mick agrees 'I am ordering one of them right now!' 3 weeks later Paddy says to Mick 'Has your woman turned up...

Bethsmum

Not a lot Mel, just the usual, welcome home.

Bethsmum

Joe, I think it shows that aBloke is not familiar with Dubai, refering to PJ, He must have been reading the hype.

You can wear a dishdash without the headgear. I have an Emirati friend who, occasionally does not wear his headgear. Early morning, for instance . In my opinion, if you are not local, you look incredibly daft wearing a dishdash. I don't think you will be taken seriously, working in an office envirom...

Bethsmum

The same goes for you Bruce

Bethsmum

I have to say I prefer the proper head dress and not a baseball cap. It just looks so odd, a baseball cap and a dress! Whatever! My local friend never wears a baseball cap, he is very traditional. In the early mornings he usually abandons any kind of headgear.
