I think George Bush is definately being told something about his lack of environmental awareness.

It was just what I heard straight from the doormen's mouth. But yeah the Lebanese go mental in the clubs too. Of course there are well off and harding working Indians/Asians too, but this is where they become a victim of pre-conceived ideas in the UAE, because the majority are employed as low wage w...

Ok, I have to ask this question as it's one that's been a hot topic among many of my friends for a long time. Should Turkey be given admittance into Europe? I'm sorry but what the heck? Are you seriously telling me that you could drive all the way from the UK to the borders of Iran? The motivation i...

Hey Zynab, Here's my 2 cents worth: First of all sorry to say but Lebanese guys - been there, done that, bought the T-shirt. They love to play around with girls of different nationalities but will generally marry their own, mainly to keep the family happy. The guy is only 26, it's not old at all tru...

D-Unit, please have some respect for dogs! You know they're really nice creatures, don't even begin to compare HP to a dog. He's slime.

Fayz,

I don't know why you say that? More than capable of holding my own, but personally not itnerested in such things.

I know exactly what I'm talking about! I used to work in a school supporting deaf kids!!!! I also used to desgin and make interactive toys for severly mentally impaired children, so don't go there. If Sharjah is so great, then how come there was a little blind boy in the paper yesterday who no-one i...

Neither! Both hideous hang outs for drunk expats. Plus Rock Bottoms always seems to have a group of Lebanese guys who think they're homies from da hood.

I think my dog is more intelligent than many human beings you know.

That's the reason i am in love with you ;0). After reading the story of Zynab some people must be thinking that Islam suppresses women. On the contrary, Islam has actually liberated women. Right from the day a woman is born till the day she dies. She has the freedom to choose whatever she wants for...

Yeah they're not burly enough for me and no offense but those guys are always on the short side, I'm only 5 ft 5, but my boyfriends are always well over 6 ft. And rugged. GGGrrrrrrr

Chocoholic

That's where you're wrong. Drunks only think they're having fun as they only see through their beer goggles they're actually irritating as hell, I hate drunk people. And I don't like this philosophy where some people can't go out without drinking, I'm usually sober as heck and still have a good time...

Chocoholic

HP what total and utter rot! Just because women are different does not make us weaker! I know plenty of guys who have their own 'menstrual cycle' they have times when they're moody, aggressive etc what the hell is the difference? Back pain, give me a break about 60% of the worlds population suffer f...

I've always been with HSBC, and never had any problems what-so-ever. If you get a status account which they charge 70Dhs a month to have you get extra benefits, like no minimum balance and a free transfer every month instead of having to pay the normal 50Dhs fee. The online services are great, I nev...

Nothing advertised for any of the clubs, because of course they'll all be back open after Halloween. But people are already throwing private halloween parties, I went to 2 on Thursday night. So you'll have to gather your buddies together and organise something.

Chocoholic

Hmm you missed the point, there's plenty of 'nice' bars where people go to have a sociable drink with friends without getting leathered everytime. Where does it ever say that consuming alcohol is compulsory in a bar? There are some places I really like because of the atmosphere, with nice surroundin...

Anyone been to Double Decker at the Al Marooj yet? What do you think. Interesting concept, reminds me of a Yates wine lodge. Not really my kind of place but good to check out every once in a while.

Chocoholic

Never had a problem with my Mastercard or Visa with them.

The bands are pretty good I have to admit.

Chocoholic

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OMG - I think the vein in my head is about to explode. Dude you have to be one of the most frustrating people I have ever come across in my life. I'm not saying a support teacher for each child. You still don't get it. I honestly don't know whether...

Bah, where are the adult Halloween parties. They're always hilarious, some of the things people came as last week were wicked, everyone really made an effort.

As usual Fox gets it wrong. Jackson wants to go to Bahrain. Hippest city? And this is spread by who? The people in charge? 'Nothing's good enough unless it's the best'? Well there's lots of things here that aren't 'The Best'. In fact I'd have to say Dubai is starting to get a bad reputation. A mate ...

I was originally with United Arab Bank, because the company made us get accounts with them to start - what a joke, it was like banknig in the dark ages. Couldn't do anything over the phone, no internet banking, had to go to the branch for everything, charges for everything incl using other banks ATM...

If you can get in it, check out the turbo lift which looks to the outside of the hotel - aaahhhhhh where's my stomach! Amazing views, but they put security on it because so many tourists just want to ride the lift to check out the views. The trick is to go up in the normal lift and come back down in...

What on earth was Mr. Ahmadinejad thinking when he made the commentsd saying he would like to see Israel 'wiped off the face of the map'? Way to go to put your country back several hundred years, outrage the world, turn many people in Iran into a baying brainwashed mob and undo all the work of the p...

All I can say HP is I'm so glad there are few people who think like you, otherwise we'd all be in real trouble. How can you say wanting to wipe out an entire nation is a good thing? So many nations are trying desperately to make peace in this world and then you have idiots making comments like that ...

Go to any Magrudy's and there's quite a few books on surviving Dubai and the Middle East, Lonely Planet are excellent.

I am well aware that the UK is not fully part of Europe and thank goodness for that. What I meant was everyone with a European passport, as we hold in the UK would be able to pass all the way from country to another. Although Turkey is a secular country and there is no state religion, 97% of the pop...

Once again HP can't reply without mentioning George Bush - the mans a menace we all know that. I don't profess to talk for my Iranian friends, but from speaking to them that's their opinion and I was just sharing so don't jump all over me. In this day and age when tensions are so high and relations ...

Chocoholic

Whatever has happened past and present, it still doesn't go against the fact that Iran is aprt of the United Nations, and this guys 'speech' goes against everything that organisation stands for and so Irans involvement now has to be looked at very seriously. People might just say it's idle words, bu...
