Because body piercings are Haram in Islam! Unislamic.

come on choc its very obvious he is bullsh##ing ..and this ghost thing it is not scientifically proven so forget it about it These things are proven, I've experienced Ouija boards before, if you read my previous posts in this thread you'll see I've had various encounters with spirits and ghosts, I ...

And what's wrong with being 478 exactly? The guy could have died at 20, 35, 52, whatever, but he's been around for centuries. I've known reincarnated people who are centuries old, sadly you're just incapable of comprehending these things. ohh ic im now incapable of comprehending these things .tell ...

MANDY? Is that A Barry Manilow special? hehehe

Liban, what's Mandy?

Chocoholic

Maybe so but it doesn't mean these things don't exist.

As GAB says it's unfair to generalise. Plus you get good and bad people in every culture and country. The many nationals I've met so far have on the whole been very friendly and nice people. I've only ever come across a few who've been a bit offish but for the most part they're lovely people and man...

Corcavado, I think the phrase you're looking for is 'seeing is believing'. However just because you can't see or feel something doesn't mean it doesn't exist does it? Do you see or feel God? The Devil? etc etc the same with ghosts and spirits. I have seen them and I know when they're around, they do...

It's not just the Nokias that go mental. Samsung phones can be a bit strange, I've had 2 now that just randomly turn themselves off then on again, delete entries from the phone book, mix names and numbers up so you call a different number than the one linked to the person you actually want to call -...

I hate to be the one to say it - well not really as I guess you'd expect it from me, but I find it sooooo typical of an American to expect all their crap to be available, whatever happened to trying 'local' things!? Personally all their junk and fast food rubbish is an absolute tragedy in this place.

I just got back from 2 weeks backpacking aqround Malaysia, what an experience! The country is incredible! So many different cultures all together, it's so much more progressive than Dubai - I could quite easily live in KL!

Chocoholic

It's totally disgraceful! SO you've got powerful friends and loadsa cash and get off - what a joke! Also guys note that the drunk Bulgarian who killed Ben by driving into the back of the car as he pushed it only got 4 months and had to pay the blood money!!!!! FOUR MONTHS for killing a person! Disgr...

Man it was amazing, we travelled all around the place, checking out islands, national parks, I saw a leopard, huge monitor lizards, turtles, it was amazing.

The Hindu and Chinese Buddhist temples are beautiful.

KL has a great nightlife too. Just loved it all, it was nice to go somewhere -REAL!

Chocoholic

Hahahaha, go watch Supersize me and you'll never touch it again! I just find it really rubbish to want to move to a new place, but to expect everything from home to be readily available, I mean isn't half the fun checking out new things? There's definatley a reason very few yanks hold passports, the...

Chocoholic

Bens family I guess, that's what insurance covers, if you kill someone then you have to pay the family blood money as compensation, doesn't exactly bring the person back though does it.

Chocoholic

So true GABs! Plus there are so many alternatives and many are better than what you're used to as well. I like the trial and error factors too - hehehe. Personally I love the fact that I can use different things from all around the world and am totally up for always trying new things, it's what make...

Chocoholic

Yes the people were fantastic, very friendly and helpful, really nice. I really went mad for all the different foods, and it's all so cheap you can stuff yourself silly, it was great. Tell you the people I really did find a bit off, were the Japanese and Koreans when we were travelling around the li...

No matter what was said to Zidane, he should have dealt with it afterwards. To take the action he did was nothing short of pathetic and a terrible black mark on an otherwise impressive career. There's never any excuse for violent conduct and there was certainly some silly things going on in some mat...

Chocoholic

LH, Nurato, it has nothing to do with defending religion or anything of the sort, you two totally miss the point! The match was watched by millions around the globe and Zidanes violent conduct was appalling. No Matter WHAT WAS SAID a bigger man would have just walked away and had those in charge dea...

He's talking about work experience basically, not a full time job guys. The problem is basically companies have to take people on and be their sponsors, sorting visas etc. As far as I know there are very few companies who will take people for work experience as the system is just not set up for it h...

Chocoholic

Stereotypical? Not really! I did say 'NOT ALL' and have many American friends here and all love it here. I found it a bit silly to ask if there are American bars - not really! They're EXPAT bars! Which means that expats from all over the world frequent them. I found it a little narrow minded and sil...

Chocoholic

Dubai is such a transcient city so many people make short term superficial friendships as they know they won't be here long. You have to get out there and meet people to make really great friends and friendships take effort like any relationship. Certainly I've made a good circle of friends who are ...

OPEC? Give me a break! America flippin' well should pay more for it's oil as the largest gas guzzling country on the planet, people there need to look at saving energy not wasting it!

Chocoholic

K, yes the world is flat, and man never walked on the moon - oh my look there goes the abominable snowman and his mate the flying pig and the Lochness monster calling to play.

Chocoholic

LH, how naive of you to assume that I know nothing of football - I used to be a sports reporter!!!! My point was that condoning a violent reaction to a verbal insult is just silly. Zidane initially walked away then came back and headbutted the guy, so it was a premeditated act, not an off the cuff r...

Chocoholic

Thanks a bunch maaad. American heritage - oh please that's a good one! Mate I used to live in Plymouth - the Mayflower steps where your Pilgrim fathers left from is your heritage. I'm being sarcastic! Well obviously you can see all the sports and stuff, but I wouldn't say there's any American bars, ...

Chocoholic

It's a nice idea but sadly I don't think it will appeal to the people they're targeting. I mean getting a sticker for being a safe driver is pretty pants, the softly softly approach just won't work. They need to catch them, charge them and publicly humiliate them because that's the only thing some o...

I nearly fell over laughing though at the story that his Dubai ;awyers are now whining that he hasn't paid them to 'agreed' 1.6 million Dhs for defending him, no written contract and 'how much!' - losers serves them right!

Chocoholic

The whole thing is totally messed up! Israel have totally overeacted to the situation. However Hezbollah are certainly not innocent in this, many of the news reports say that they've counted on Israel's overaction to deliberately destroy Lebanon, these people are a total menace as well. Also what th...
