That's death ROW Kid. He's Austrian and there's already a thread on it 'Doctors face murder charges'.

Oh really BM - then how come I managed to take a 14+ kg backpack in the cabin with me? It depends if you have check-in luggage or not and how much that weighs! There are ways and means of playing the 'weight' game with airlines.

Plus please introduce yourself to the notion of sarcasm!

Oh with those big cases yes. But we had no check-in luggage and backbacks squish down, they'd not solid taking up space, so they allowed it.

Oh with those big cases yes. But we had no check-in luggage and backbacks squish down, they'd not solid taking up space, so they allowed it. How does a backpack containing 14kgs of luggage not take up any space? I didn't say they didn't take up space, but they certainly don't take up as much space ...

Yes I think women killed it to a point, because they've become so independent and banged on about equality for so many years, that most men think - why bother. It's a tough balancing act. I don't think its got anything to do with chivalry to be honest and more to do with common courtesy to EVERYONE....

This was Emirates. Mind you I was flying on a staff ticket and knew the check-in staff as well - might have had something to do with it!

Chocoholic

To be honest I'm not sure quite what to make of this. Yes we all know there are fines and penalties for certain insults and whatnot. However, is this not PC gone mad where people can't express their own opinion? On their own pages? Clearly it's a good example of beware who you have as a friend on yo...

It's absolutely a two way street and it shouldn't be the men who're expected to do things for women. Women are now victims of their own wish for freedom, now we have it, we shouldn't really complain about it.

Chocoholic

That always drove me nuts about companies using call centres elsewhere, could never understand half of them.

Chocoholic

There's a similar 'squatters rights' in the UK.

Chocoholic

It does seem a little bit like the actions of a weak person, who gets easily offended then expects the police to fight their battles for them.

Chocoholic

what would you rather have her do then? It does seem like a whole waste of police time, money and effort. However, we do know that there are many who are overly sensitive when it comes to these things. It's not like she broadcasted it publicly, it was a personal spat and should have been left at th...

There has always been a pretty good music scene in the UAE albeit underground mostly. There are great bands playing in many venues across the country, mostly cover bands, but still. The Musci Room is now running Rock Nation which is actively trying to give local bands a chance to showcase their tale...

Chocoholic

Sorry dude, you're not likely to find that sort of stuff here. It's mainly music for the masses.

Chocoholic

you can always "express your opinion " in a polite way... not for police matters but for your won manners . True Kid, very true. Plus you know the person that was offended could have taken another tack and asked, why she doesn't like Ramadan and actually engaged in an intelligent discussi...

Sorry BM, we don't do sausages with chips! Plus he usually does the cooking because he's better at it than me.

Chocoholic

Well she is white trailer trash - let's face it.

Chocoholic

Oh heck are we back to this again? News flash BM EX-copper! Has zero power nor influence. I spoke to my friend who actually IS an active copper, he pissed himself laughing.

Chocoholic

Whatever Dillon, you're a major pot stirrer as it is. My point that BM keeps failing to see, if that she really knows no one and there is always going to be someone who trumps her - end of. Bank ON topic: These kind of stories do get a bit tedious, it's all complete hearsay. The event happened last ...

Done that

I think you should live everyday as if it's your bucket list personally. So much to do, so little time. I think it might take a few lifetimes.

Chocoholic

Why are you even butting in Dillon? Was anything aimed at you? er no - sticking your nose in where it's not wanted AGAIN!

Chocoholic

So, simply question. Was the court right to fine her? On the one hand I think it's pretty harsh, on the other it makes a damn good deterrent doesn't it.

Good for them! So many people here go for Canadian citizenship, it's ridiculous. The UK should take not of this as well.

Chocoholic

Sandwich? It's more like Taco no?

Chocoholic

Yeah yeah the sheep thing it about 5 years old! Old news!

Chocoholic

And the point of this post was what BM - to once again confirm to the entire forum that you're a raging alcoholic? Well done, tell us something we don't know. I thought you were actually going to write something interesting actually about food for once.

Chocoholic

Whatever Dillon. I just find it incredibly juvenile to keep blabbing on about how much booze one drinks. It's like listening to a teenager - who cares.

Chocoholic

I have to agree Busa, I was never really a fan and don't think she deserved the hype that surrounded her. Her untimely death was inevitable given the lifestyle she lived. I know it's an addiction and a disease, but many tried to help her and she pretty much turned her back on them. What annoyed me, ...
