The drive was Ben Mulligan, the girl in the car, (not his girlfriend by the way) is one of my best friends. The Bulgarian got 3 months and had to pay the blood money, something like 250,000 dirhams, however because he couldn't pay it off, he would have had to stay bin prison until he could pay off t...

There are so many whitening products available it's ridiculous. And yeah I find it silly that white people want to be tanned and vise versa. I would say that you should only use whitening products to even out skin tone. As the skin ages, you can get blemishes, pigment spots etc, mostly caused by sun...

To be honest when a couple are living together, it makes no difference whether you're married or not. Afterall it's just a bit of paper - right?! You're either able to live together, or you aren't. To be honest I'd rather find out if a partnership works by living together before tying the knot. Othe...

Er because we used to control most of the known world - mind you we're paying for it now. Movies - Four Wedding and a Funeral, Bridget Jones', 28 Days Later, Billy Elliot, All the Bond movies, The Full Monty, Alfie, Eyes Wide Shut, Lawrence of Arabia, Zulu. To name a few, plus any big movie with spe...

I think some of you guys can't tell the difference between England and the UK. Besides the Scots, Irish and Welsh all have far bigger chips on their shoulders. When it comes to rowdy football fans, give me a break, Greek supporters and the like are far worse. I think some of you are just miffed as w...

On Christmas Day? What are you nuts? I'll be stuffing my face with food and drinking myself into oblivion.

Chocoholic

Very intersting facts Noni. Nick I think it's obviously easier to disolve a 'live-in' relationship than if the couple were married, because obviously that has bigger implications, than a couple just parting ways. However in many countries now, couples who've lived together without being married for ...

It was a ghost ship - obviously.

Yes the UK has contributed to global endeavour. But the Scots, Welsh and Irish fought and got their own Governments, isn't about time the English had the same right? I mean the other 3 countries are busy going off and doing their own thing, why shouldn't we. EJ, it's not being racist, it's fact. And...

Sorry luv.

But don't worry about defending us, we can hold our own. People that put us down are just jealous. Also if we're all so crap, then how come so many people are desperate to get a UK passport? That's just sad.

Chocoholic

Well unless it's in the Bermuda Triangle, because all sorts of unexplainable things happen there.

And yes you're right science can explain most things. Some things are just unexplainable and there are forces in this world (or others) that can be held responsible.

Sadly it's going to take more incidents like this to make people go straight in this country. It's just the case that we all know 'certain' people can't wait their turn or queue.

Chocoholic

Hardly Freza. As I said, I have no problem with people who would go to another country to contribute, no matter where they're from. But yes, I have a big problem with those who do not intend to contribute, and impose their way of life on the local population, refuse to adapt to the local way of life...

Good post and very true.

Chocoholic

Actually asc, Sarah Brightman is English through and through, she was born in Herfordshire.

Chocoholic

Do you have to? People can make up their own mind one way or the other.

Chocoholic

Also don't forget we gave you The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Queen, The Police, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd. In fact all the biggest and most influencial bands and musicians have come from the UK.

Chocoholic

Interesting post Freza, and I agree it is an interesting debate. Much of scietific thought is based on theory, until proven. But couldn't the same be said of 'God'? Also someone can be spiritual, without believing in God or belonging to a religion. I'd rather people had faith in something, than belo...

Chocoholic

Exactly right, not everyone can just up and leave. Plus that's a totally ridiculous thing to say. If the Governments aren't careful, Dubai and the UAE in general will be home for the very rich and the very poor. There will be no middle classes, and these people are the ones who're generating the eco...

Chocoholic

I think you misunderstood a quote there, whch was actually 'Can you PROVE or DISPROVE that God exists'. No-one can prove it either way - yet. Personally I'd rather people believed in humanity and in themselves and their abilities. People 'kill' in the name of God, from all religions. To me that's ri...

Chocoholic

Brings a quote to mind, 'God is a child playing with a giant ant farm'. Probably not far from the truth. Or the moster race of aliens are waiting to come and save us all - maybe Scientology is the way to go after all.

Chocoholic

Sorry Bleakus, but no, the existance of God is not clear at all. The world is in chaos and out of control now, and I totally agree with Scot when he says that people's belief in God and religions are the main causes of most of the problems in the world today. Countries are riddled with HIV and AIDS ...

Chocoholic

Freza, I totally get what you're saying, and I do see your seperation between God and religion, and in fact I would prefer that people had 'Faith' as opposed to belonging to an organised religion, so on that I agree with you completely. Afterall a persons relationship with God (if it exists) is a pe...

Chocoholic

For me, people can believe whatever they want to, as long as they're not going to force their opinions on others then that's fine. Everyone's entitled to believe in whatever they want, or not as the case maybe.

The rent packages give to employees for the most part are pathetic. People end up paying out of their own pocket anyway.

You're just jealous, because you've got nothing.

Chocoholic

Oi! Stop hijacking this thread. Please keep in on topic.

Chocoholic

To be honest they could be a little more ricky with cinema releases, as people pay to watch a movie, therefore they're making a choice to see that film.

Chocoholic

Well this is the problem, people rack up fines and just pay them when they go to re-register their car. What they need is a proper points system, for every fine you get points on your licence, exceed 12 and you lose your licence. That's the only way people will learn.
