Dubai Forums

I spent some time in Zimbabwe as a teenager and there were many with 'unusual names' - at least unusual to an English boy's ears. Patience, Sweety, Lucky etc were very common and didn't raise too many eyebrows. The most bizare ones I came across were 'Scholastic Achievement' (sort of understandable...

The word is mightier than the sword as they say - until you come up against someone with a gun! Then you're screwed!

8 to go and you are out to find another place girl.

No I'm not 52! Duh - read my post. Not even mid-30's!

Well according to EH's views, he'd force a woman to have a baby even if the complications meant that the mother and child would lose their lives - nice!

But all I hear from here is crap about how it 'used to be' and 'I knew that' and 'you have no idea how it really is' or ' that's old news' or 'you're an idiot'. That's a perfect description of her. She only forgot one thing! Eh, go back to the Politics forum, trying to play in other sections really...

Actually I think EH is pro-abortion, however he fails to see that sometimes abortions simply for the sake of it or for no genuine reason are acceptable.

LOL - cheeky bugger though.

Usually cars never stop at zebra crossings here. I always do, but it always worries me what the person in the next lane in going to do. A young lad was knocked down two weeks a go near me because of this. BM, they more than likely stopped because you're a white woman and they wanted to oggle you! If...

As I've said before EH, it's a pointless exercise discussing this with you. You're not a woman so you can never ever profess to understand the decisions that a woman has to make with regards to such things. I have never said a woman does not have the right to choose - what I object to, and what you ...

I believe yellow "zebra" marking require cars to yield to pedestrians whereas white "zebra" stripes merely indicate the walkway/path... There are no 'yellow' zebra crossings! All Zebra crossing are thick white lines. It clearly states in the RTA light motor vehicle handbook, whi...

When you get excessive, it sounds like you're almost trying to over compensated. Try some meditations to calm yourself and learn to keep yourself in check. The therapists at the DCHC are wonderful and sometimes it's just nice to get an outsiders perspective and some suggestions on how to deal with t...

It must be safer for them.

LOL too right it's probably safer. Although I shan't be doing the same once I start riding.

Seems to me the expat drivers are getting worse. They used to be the people you'd expect to stop at crossings (not tailgate or swerve across three lanes to an exit etc.) maybe that's allowing local politeness to shine through. Without a doubt driving is getting worse across the board, all nationali...

Interesting. I do wonder when Andy is going to implement this. However, it does require members to be honest and not spiteful just for the sake of it.

What ? you mean those white stripes at a traffic light doesnt mean "Speed up now" ??? LOL! It's the idiots that go into the yellow box at junctions and completely block the flow of traffic that crack me up. Yet, if you do as you're supposed to and wait until the exit is clear, you get a b...

There are no mods under the new system. Go and read how it works.

Can I award a Gold star for the 'dumbest' thread of the day?

How about the flaming goes to Fight Club then. So if you and Chocs want to insult BM you can do it there, and BM can continue to insult you, Chocs, DK, Shaf and myself over there too. :D I have been!!! I've been ignoring her in the rest of the forum. That's exactly what I've been saying for ages, b...

What's the little heart next to the thread title? Just asking.

No BB because it serves no purpose and they ignore it anyway. Completely pointless exercise. Best thing to do is simply ignore them.

I reckon there should be full time lollipop men and women for pedestrian crossings. We have the guys waving red flags at the moment during school time.

Just been wathcing 'Come Dine with Me' - now I'm hungry!

Ok, to get rid of all this negativity, name something nice that happened to you today!

I'm reminiscing back to my student days by watching Dawson's Creek - what the heck happened to James Van Der Beek? (There's a name that should be in the silly name thread).

I'll be ordering in.

I reckon there should be full time lollipop men and women for pedestrian crossings. We have the guys waving red flags at the moment during school time. They've all been paid off in the UK. No money to pay them. The Council's figure it's the parents responsibility to make sure the kids arrive in one...

LOL sorry actually can't eat anything right now - tummy bug, so stuck with water and starving watching cooking shows - gutted!

I don't know, but I think I might go out and buy a jumbo pack of tampons as some people clearly need them - eish

Chill Winston.

If BB says it's due to a car accident, then it's likely she has compression in the lower vertebrae. I know what this feels like and it affects the whole spine. You could try something like the bodybalancers - they look at the root cause of the problem and use various methods to sort it or at least t...

So they're focusing on female students. What gets me is their instant association, that a girl wearing 'manly' dress is instantly branded a lesbian!!! er no. What about a girl wearing cargo pants and a t-shirt because it's comfortable? Oh well. We'll just have to dress up to the nines and totter abo...
