The only gig I've bought tickets for is Metallica. The Britney, Incubus and Cult and Paul M acts are part of the F1, so I'm pulling my strings for passes to those.

I think he's also guilty. He had a duty to look after his patient and he failed miserably. Sadly private doctors doing what they want to keep contracts worth hundreds of thousands are more important, than patient welfare. Jackson was an addict, there's no doubt about that and he had a physician who ...

The new company can simply buy out your ban, you don't have to wait the 6 months. This happened to a friend of mine, he was offered another job and his previous company banned him. He went back to Sri Lanka for a while and the new sponsor just paid for the ban to be lifted. Bans are a money making s...

Nah she's just the face of Millions of Milkshakes. I've never even heard of them to be honest.

In all honesty Zonker, it seems easier for many to be nasty than it is to be nice. Which myself I don't really understand.

Not creepy at all. if it's done properly it's super relaxing and feels fantastic. But some people are just rubbish at giving head massages. I like the salons that have a proper lie down bed for the wash basins, then you're not hurting your neck.

Cats aren't stupid. Mine only go out when it's cooler. They refuse to go outside in the summer months anyway even if the door is open. They're far more adaptable than we give them credit for. My cat used to roam for miles, now he's happy just to veg in the garden and watch the world go by. Let the c...

Oh tricky tricky. So on one they've clarified that there isn't actually a law stating that national dress can't be worn in places where alcohol is served, yet many venues and events are told to ban people wearing national dress. http://www.7days.ae/article/news/national/music-fan-misses-out-over-hea...

Chocoholic

It's not National dress, it's Islamic dress - the writer got it wrong. But still it's not the venue's fault for adhereing to the rules made by the Dubai Government.

Chocoholic

But ehn to hold the event, the promoters might have been told they can't allow this kind of dress, in order for them to have the liquor licence for it. I certainly know that venues which operate as nightclubs are definitely not allowed to let that attire in. Restaurants and bars are a whole differen...

Not necessarily today, but a few things I'm really proud of, like rescuing animals from cruel situations and finding them loving homes. I used to make sensory toys for special needs children and it was always amazing to see them respond and light up at something you'd made by hand for them. Probably...

I think I probably would have told the sneezer politely that he'd left his bodily fluids in the guys drink and hope he got the bar man to replace it.

So it's not really a DF meet up then, unless it's open to ALL members and not just a select few invited by her highness and the minions. Why would we expect anything else. A TRUE DF meet up as they used to be is posted and members are required to PM their attendance. So please don't call it a Df mee...

Chocoholic

It's really very simple. Don't call it a DF meet up, when it's something that wasn't open to ALL members, merely a select few. The 'oldtimers' are people like myself, Kanelli (yes we do know each other off the forum), Sage, Dubai Knight, Dubaidog, Bushra, Arnie, Jamal, Princess Banahamuk, etc etc. D...

I did have a little chuckle at the reports then subsequent responses to a couple of Hammerhead sharks being spotted off JBR beach last week. Apparently the lifeguards shut down the beach for several hours and wouldn't let people go in the water - fair enough. However, in the newspaper reports people...

Chocoholic

I seriously doubt the majority of companies would give their employees 9 days off, the place would grind to a halt. It's just not going to happen.

Chocoholic

Probably not, but then why do we need to forum to keep in touch when we all know each other personally and either call, write, FB or visit one another? 'BM's minions of DF meet up' is more appropriate, because you see the difference between 'us' and 'you' is that we never discriminated against anyon...

I read an interesting article recently which simply stated that those who constantly crow on about their lives and what they do are crying out for attention and come across as not very attractive. Far better to have others talk about you in a complimentary light, that to brag about it yourself. I'll...

In these waters, I doubt it very much. Hammerheads are tricky ones, where their mouth and eyes are positioned makes them pretty vulnerable and they'd find it hard to get a good hold on a person to begin with.

Chocoholic

It's an issue that's been going on for years. Emiratis have to accept the fact that they have to work on an even playing field with Expats of have no job - it's really as simple as that. You cannot force companies to take on people who lacks qualifications, want higher salaries, less hours doing les...

Have to say that Metallica totally rocked it last night! Because it was their first time here, I think they felt obliged to play all the old stuff, and so they did, only playing one track off the new album. They looked thoroughly delighted to be here, played for over two hours and put in an amazing ...

Chocoholic

You're more likely to get injured or killed by some numpty on the roads, than you are ever being attacked by a shark. I think they are the most amazing creatures and it's sad that they are being fished into extinction.

Chocoholic

Yes much.

Chocoholic

Well that site won't stay 'unblocked' for long, now you've posted it on an open forum - well done - give yourself a clap!

Chocoholic

Oh dear, that's kinda tragic.

Just the usual of work and entertaining a friend whilst she's in town.
