It's now been agreed that the ports will be left under US control.

Arnie, are you joking? You love venturing outside in temperatures upto 48 degrees. Then getting blasted to death by AC's on the inside, hot/cold hot/cold, it does my head in.

This time of year is perfect, the temp is nice, and at least we get a little bit of weather this time of year.

Chocoholic

Nah, no big deal. If you're not doing anything wrong then you've nothing to worry about. I think everyone sends flirty sms's between friends every now and again, there's no harm in it. And you can be open with your other half about it. He gets texts from his girl friends just as I get or send cheeky...

Oh GAB, tell me about it! And sorry to go all girly, but it plays nightmares with my hair - you spend ages straightening it all, walk outside for 20 mins and instant afro, I end up just pulling it all back as it's way too much hassle.

Chocoholic

Ok I mean more cheeky than flirty. What if I find out - he shows me the messages others send, we do it to our friends and they to us. Things can be cheeky and flirty without any other intention behind it, but there is a line and so long as you don't cross it then I think it's fine. Mind you some of ...

Yeah and I'm sitting here wearing my jumper, BUT only because the AC is on so high in the office that I freeze to death without it. Sadly our AC's have to be kept at a constant level because of all the computer equipment.

Castanello, We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. You have your opinion and i have mine and I'm sticking to mine, I've said all I want to on this subject after reading all sides of the issue. I'm not arguing in any way, simply voicing what I think which I'm entitled to do just as you are...

Possibly, but to be honest I just don't get 'people' sometimes I really don't. They always ignore all the wonderful and beautiful things that they're given and are hell bent on destruction and hurting one another - it's a sad state of affairs.

Chocoholic

Killing another innocent is always wrong. Suicide bombers are the most cowardly people possible, they don't discriminate who they kill and are prepared to kill fellow muslims in a heartbeat - very sad. So are you going to condem the group which just murdered a Christian peacekeeper in Iraq after hol...

Chocoholic

I also wanted to add to Kanelli's comments that many people on this forum are quick to judge and jump down the throats of the Brits on here regading our attitudes towards terrorism and violence. Many seem to forget that while this is a relatively new phenomenon in the Muslim world, we have been deal...

Chocoholic

Ah so he'll be the one selling them all on souq.com - hehehehe

Please try to educate yourselves before always bashing locals on this forum!!! Its absolutely ridiculous to believe that because the guys were UAE nationals they received a light sentence!!! Im obviously against the 2 year sentence, it should be more, but please feed your tiny minds with informatio...

Chocoholic

Well yes that's true. But for the most part, where they were blowing each other up and shooting at each other, at least that's all gone quiet - for now. I sometimes wonder for how long, but at least it's a whole lot better than it was. I always thought the handing over of the weapons was a complete ...

Chocoholic

No man, he's awsome. I can't wait.

Chocoholic

I know the topics are kinda getting blurred, but about freedom of speech with the media, Arnie do you remember when they would either only show the face or play the audio of Sinn Fein Leader Gerry Adams? If they showed his face, they had a voice over say the words, or have his voice with other image...

So no justice then?: Slobodan Milosevic Found Dead in His Cell 11 mARCH 2006 Slobodan Milosevic, the former Yugoslav leader who orchestrated the Balkan wars of the 1990s and was on trial for war crimes, was found dead in his prison cell at the U.N. detention center near The Hague, the U.N. tribunal ...

Yeah Sniper - whatever! Actually he's had: 6 Number 1's 12 top 5's 5 top 10's and only one song never made is to the top ten! And that's just his UK tally. Robbie's latest album has gone Platinum in the UAE and he has had more than 35 million global album, single and DVD sales. His world tour is sol...

Chocoholic

Fooking hell! That's terrible! Poor child. The guy needs to be crastrated. 5 years is an appalling sentence.

But is it me or does it appear that s-e-x crimes aren't taken very seriously?

Chocoholic

Yshimy, You've got it all wrong. The CNN piece is totally sarcastic! Jeff Greenfield is actually poking fun at US security and asking 'why shouldn't the ports be under Dubai control'. And saying that US security is rubbish: 'Our nation, whose forces have so vigilantly sealed our borders from illegal...

Chocoholic

Miller, I think your comments are a little overzealous and can't really be justified.

I'd like to know where you get your statistics from as I really can't believe what you've just written.

Chocoholic

Will the take out the football team known as the canaries too? And anything else bird related?

Chocoholic

Oh yeah I remember that, but his accent is so thick you can't understand a word he is saying anyway!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Isn't that the Irish in general? Thick! (Ducks and runs for cover) Oh come on! Why do you think there's so many Irish jokes! Plus you walked right into that one - hehehe.

Chocoholic

OK I went back and checked regarding photography. Apparently still cameras are allowed, but not video cameras as MTV Asia and MTV Europe along with other TV stations will be present and covering the event.

So i doubt Robbie really cares what Sniper thinks

EMI Arnie, EMI.

Interesting to note that the two people who get branded as against certain people in the forum are the first ones to jump to their defence!

Chocoholic

It's a cracking piece! I laughed so hard when I read it. FOr those of you that didn't get it, you have to read the whole thing. Don't just read the headline take offense and go off on one against it. The guy is supporting you!

It's classic!

Chocoholic

Personally I think this is a bit ridiculous. The song in question was written 25 years ago!!!! And the band haven't played it since the 1980's. Far more offensive artists have played here. Plus the arabic version of Emirates Today which started all the fuss, took the song lyrics out of context. The ...

Friday April 21st, Nad Al Sheba.

But all tickets are gone matey.

Chocoholic

I'm not sad in the slightest, but I'm not celebrating either. If Saddam Hussein drags out his case for years, he too might end up having a heart attack or some age/health related disease strike him in his cell before conviction. I wouldn't be sad about that either. seriously guys if u compare today...

Chocoholic

For once SNiper, I agree with you! The guy is a total knob!
