Re: Slang (Abbreviations) is a horrible thing

Pfff it's like flies round poo with you lot! You just can't help it! Actually this topic has been brought up before and is a valid one. Seeing as a lot of you seem to forget that many of the people who frequent the forum might not have English as their first language, using abbreviations can make un...

Re: Where for 31st December this year 2011?

People do come here for holiday over Christmas and NY you know! HUH - shock, horror, someone might actually take the initiative and try to find out about a place before they visit it, from people who actually live there! Really depends whether you want a club, or a dinner, a venue with live bands, f...

Pan People! Oh dear someone is really showing their age, thankfully I'm not old enough to remember them.

TOTP was a great show, they did stop all the miming in the end. There were some cracking performances.

Re: Buying apartment experiences

Well hate to burst your bubble BM, but Arnie would side with DD and so will I! Do not buy property here, it is a bad investment, the market is only still going down. Build quality is terrible and I can guarantee you that the majority of buildings here are built with a life span of 30-40 years and th...

Re: A whiter shade of pale - skin whitening in the Arab worl

It's not obvious if you don't read the article - a bit of a pointless thread really. Simple explanation, dark skinned people will always want to be paler, white people will always want to be brown and tan themselves silly - thats it really.

Re: Buying apartment experiences

I love my place in JBR. So what if it only lasts 40 years? I'm so old I will be dead and buried by then so what do I care? Meanwhile I'll enjoy it to the max. Life is such fun without any regrets. Because a short lifespan means poor build quality and not a good investment for prospective buys when ...

I'm sure psychologists can explain the phenomenon. It's like telling someone to not think of a yellow elephant - can't be done, everyone will think of a yellow elephant. (Even the guys who will argue that hippos in Muslim countries are purple, or some other tangent, will think of yellow elephants f...

Re: What mobile phone carrier do you use and recommend?

Basically in the UAe you have two choices - Eitsalat and DU - they are both governmentally owned and both as rubbish as each other. You can get a pay as you go SIM card pretty much as soon as you get off the plane, all you need is a copy of your passport and a copy of the page with your visit visa i...

Re: Who do you bank with?

The banks in the UAE are all a bit rubbish to be honest. Don't be fooled by the fact they have an international name, they're in a league of their own.

I have accounts with HSBC and Dubai Bank.

No BM, YOU sadly miss the point that your bit of 'fun' is completely trashing the forum and virtually every thread in it. I can safely say that the majority are now sick and tired of it. There are times for a bit of fun and joking about, but every single thread is not it. Sadly some of the mods do n...
