@Bruce yes, the Emiratis do wear the dishdash to the office, but what I meant was i would look daft on you as a non local. From your previous posts I take it you are British and intend to move to Dubai? My apologies if I'm wrong. If I were you I would stick to being British and not try to force your...

Does anyone else prefer Arabian perfume over "Western" ones? OK ... some are very strong, but there are others which are truly splendid. The oils tend to be very strong, the sprays aren't. I had to read your post twice Bruce as initialy i thought you were lashing it on over your Brut, I s...

Camel meat is said to be a delicacy by locals, but do you know who in the UAE most eat camel meat? Well Herve, I don't know any that do. My local friend eats fish mostly, lamb and Subways. I can't stand fish myself. My friend came out with a classic one day. We were talking about how women age and ...

Nothing like a pint of Heinekin round the pool. Alcohol is a strict no no round the pools in JBR so I can often be found drinking Heinekin from Beth's plastic beaker and matching yellow straw. I have to admit it doesn't taste quite as good as from a glass but it does hit the spot. Drinking it throug...

Now DDS stop it. There are worse places than Dubai. Take Manchester for instance. If you f4rt, they nick it.

During my sleepless night the other night I was watching Sky news and it was talking about Dubai. I think it must be because Mrs Queen is in the region. They were talking to an expert on the middle east and he was British, a doctor of some description. He was saying Dubai is very important indeed. A...

Yes Joe, Herve is that man but i think you're confused with the failed submarines bit. You need to read the book. Herve had a submarine building business before he left the USA and was brought to Dubai by Sultan. At the moment I am looking through some of the Court records. They make very interestin...

Why thank you Joe. I'm fairly new here myself but haven't been put off by the negative responses i get, I'm a bit thick skinned you see. Actually I've made some virtual friends here. I really don't know why they are trying to take this forum up a notch, it's been rock bottom for years as far as i ca...

Check the Movies forum as people have put up movies that they have watched. Try "City of Life". A movie about Dubai and it's people - locals and expats. You can watch the trailer on youtube (I think). It was a creation of an Emirati and believe it was shown at last years DIFF. Apparently ...

DDS get yer budgy smugglers on and get down to the beach and put a smile on that clock of yours.

Prisoners Herve? I haven't met any yet, I'm a good girl!

Bethsmum

Herve, I took your book to work yesterday to show my friends. I can say the ladies were quite taken with you. I have discovered that I am surrounded by bored housewives!

I'm with you all the way Drew. Just look at that scrote they rearrested last week in London. He is supposed to be Italian but he's the strangest Italian I've ever seen. He murdered the headmaster outside of his school a few years back and was sentenced. We wanted to deport him after he was released ...

Joe, I think me and your wife would get on. I, too, am a lover of nice cars, especially when driven by a nice young man. I love those Bentleys, David Beckham has one, amongst all his other motors. I'm a BM fan myself.

Bruce, I flew with BA this summer from Manchester to AUH. I didn't get the coach to Dubai, I got a taxi. Before I got in the taxi I asked 'How much to Jumeirah', the driver said meter madam meter, so I said fine and we all got in, there was me, Beth and her friend, (who I later named the one that do...

I agree with you on Big Brother Shaf, awful. I have just watched Strictly, absolute gold tonight. Anne Widdecome did a comedy routine from 'Titanic'. Craig Revel Horwood said 'Titanic? It was more like the Arc Royal darling' What a woman and what a chest, I swear it has a mind all of it's own.

Bethsmum

Bora, I never thought of that! If Bruce uses any of the info gained at DF, I hope he gives us a cut of the royalties.

Bethsmum

Joe, she sounds like the perfect woman. I don't worry about tomorrow either, we could all be dead. I never regret yesterday either.

I started with looking around for xmas presents. I am a sucker for high heels and found this for a very good ladyfriend, who also had high heels on her wishing list: 007.jpg I love them, but think it might be too much. What do you think? Especially for the ladies, would you like such a gift from a ...

DUH to JBR was 150 on a meter.

DDS you are not as daft as you look. Yes, BM drives a BM, and it is an X3. I am in the market to upgrade and have recently test driven an X6. Amazin, but at £65,000 I will have to save up a bit more. My Emirati friend has just got a new one, you don't shut the doors, just touch them, they must be on...

Don't tell me, daddy was a pilot.

My best friends ex boss is something big in Emirates airlines. I will ask him if he knows you.

Bethsmum

C for me. I wouldn't throw everything away for a moment of madness

I looked at a Range Rover, second hand at £30,000 but I like new really, I like to choose the interior and I never have the model number on the back, it's one of those things I don't like. Weird eh?

Bethsmum

No Joe, there are worse things than going with another.

Bethsmum

Duck BM, incoming fire!
