Makes a change as it's always been Airbus shouting at how many orders they take each year. Personally I prefer Boeing anyway, the whole fly-by-wire thing unnerves me at the best of times. The 777 have always been popular aircraft. I really like the look of the Dreamliner. http://www.thenational.ae/b...

Just wondering if anyone uses these. I got one last year, but it is pretty much impossible to make any sort of dent in the thing, unless you're eating out every night and going here there and everywhere each weekend. There's no doubt you get your money back within a few uses, but do most people end ...

The RTA has stated the following:

100 Dhs for chewing gum
200 dhs for carrying weapons
300 dhs for falling asleep

I think the priorities are little skewed there somewhat.

Apparently yes, in case people fall over, drool or snore annoying other passengers lol - not joking that's what the RTA said!

I like Christmas in the UAE , it's got a bit of a weird feel to it as you can sit outside having your crimbo dinner and whatnot. It's a shame that we get to celebrate the festive season here more ............ Which is it?? you like it or not? Yes I like it, if you read my entire post and don't take...

I like the idea of donating the vouchers, that's a great idea. I think they're worth getting.

I said it's a shame we celebrate here more than we do in our home countries Eh? You celebrate Christmas more in Dubai than you do at home? Not ME BM, the PC brigade kinda spoil Christmas in the UK because you can't say certain things, can't have nativities etc etc - it's a joke. One paper did an ar...

So if I fall asleep with a rocket launcher or bazooka on my shoulder that's five hundred AED down the drain?

LOL well don't fall asleep and your fine would be less

At a huge cost though.

Well seeing as I can only gauge what goes on the the UK by the press, what am I supposed to think? Although many friends living there say it's got too much. So ok then are you allowed nativities and christmas carolers etc in stores and whatnot in the UK? Can you still say Merry christmas on greeting...

Living in a part of the world i.e. the ME where rice is a staple, I don't think some have much of a choice but to like it. Personally they're all bad carbs. I like whole grain rice and pasta. and rice done in my rice cooker comes out best. I've switched to sweet potatoes as they're much better for y...

Actually Dillon when you put it like that, it's a very valid point.

Sadly many men run around here like kids in a sweet shop. It doesn't help that many women have zero morals. There's lots of cheating going on. Wives and kids go home for weeks on end in the summer, men get bored.

I think it's fine to look, but anything more than that and it's crossing a line.

Worked all day from 8am till gone 10pm - knackered and shattered. Doing nowt no but watching some Grey's,

It's a bit flippin' cheeky really isn't it. But I guess we all get taxed one way or another here regardless.

Been a few months since I posted last. I slept till 11am...drank coffee and chilled out poolside till about 2pm. I then went and hit the driving range and shot nine, came home, got back in the pool and read the paper. Made the Mrs. dinner before she went off to work, had a nap, watched some TV and ...

If you're not sure about sweet potatoes BM, have a look out for purple potatoes - those mashed or cooked in anyway just look wrong. I love a good jacket spu, but don't go to half the effort of Dillon. Wash, score round, shove in the microwave until it starts to go soft, then finish off in the oven u...

Me too Sage, I'm not an app person at all.

Whatsapp is great, I have it on my BB for non-BB friends and family. There's one app that I do really like, it's called Shazam and when you come across a song or a piece of music that you like, but can't remember who it's by or what it is, you start it, hold it up to the speaker so it can 'listen' t...

It really depends on whether you're the going out and spending lots types or not really.

LOL too many embarrassing moments to mention really. But one mortifying one was outside the Music Room, the pavement turns into sort of a ramp, I'm wearing my stack 5 inch heels am a few glasses of vino down and step from the pavement onto the slanted bit of road and literally just go rolling down t...

I like it Andy - all good

mmmm well I once destroyed a familys toilet system in the house by going for a number 2 ................ worst thing was it happened while I was there and they were in bed Anyone beat that ? Hahaha oh nooooooo! That's awful. A friend invited me over for my little pup to meet their dog and he decide...

I hate it when people swap TH for F - so, so annoying!

Thursday 8th December is Pink Floyd tribute night at the Wafi rooftop gardens. It's going to be a fab night out with a laser show and the band Point Of View from Rock Nation and the Music Room, laying on a great show.

If she is unhappy she should have left within the probation period, then would have no repercussions apart from probably being asked to pay back the cost of the visa. If she just ups and leaves, she will be listed as having absconded and banned from entering the country again, or if she does picked ...

The super sixes is the cricket version of the rugby 7's.

Tuesday 20th December at the Madinat arena, Salt N Pepa will be performing live for a big ladies/festive night - should be a right old laugh

December 29th will see 80's icons Culture Club perfomr at the Dubai Tennis Stadium
