Actually no, I've pretty much always figured it was Drew. You however are sounding more and more like BM with every post! You're even back to giving your entire life stories away in posts, with details that you've given before - not very good at hiding it are you?! Observation isn't one of your str...

Well, I think it makes complete sense! let’s face it, the ethnic groups this regulation is aimed at is capable of falling asleep on a washing line, at the drop of a hat, while we all may have got used to the sight of comatose carcasses littering public places from midday onwards, who can blame the R...

I said it's a shame we celebrate here more than we do in our home countries Eh? You celebrate Christmas more in Dubai than you do at home? Not ME BM, the PC brigade kinda spoil Christmas in the UK because you can't say certain things, can't have nativities etc etc - it's a joke. One paper did an ar...

That's right Professor, one of the producers of an earlier non-chart music show used “The old grey whistle test” to help him select the new released tracks to air, the test was to subliminally play the promotional records sent to the BBC, to the ‘old greys’ who were BBC staff members working in, and...

The theme tune from the Old Grey Whistle Test is a classic and one I always remember, along with the theme tune from 'Tales of The Unexpected'. It still makes me want to dance behind the net curtains. :lol: I had no idea that Roald Dahl wrote Tales of the unexpected! I remember taking my children t...

Baked Potatoes are my first choice, wash and feather the skin, smear with pork fat, butter or oil would do, then a liberal rub of salt and black pepper, wrap in tin foil, bake in the oven at 170°C for 40 Mins, raise the temp to 200, and finish without the foil for a dry baked skin and soft inner fle...

Don't rely on hearsay on a public forum, different banks may also have different requirements, just talk to your bank's relationship manager, get it straight from ther horse's mouth!

How many laborers have you seen sleeping on the Metro, for that matter how many laborers do you actually see on a Metro? Firstly, I said “ethnic groups” I didn’t narrow the ethnic groups down to a particular profession and I find it quite strange that you should assume that it’s only labourers who ...

Jawohl mein führer! Wir trinken alkohol! Oh good, for a moment I thought the 'wir fahren gegen England' song was coming up. Those German schlagers, reminds me of the beer fest. I am always impressed how many beers the Bavarian women can carry. bierfest.jpg Trink, trink, Brüderlein trink, Laß doch d...

Thats very impressive Dillon. I can barely cook an egg myself. FD, I don’t believe THAT, anyone can cook! I had two choices in my early teens, learn to cook or go hungry, so I learnt to cook and I enjoyed it. I invented the omelette you know! While cooking a breakfast of bacon, eggs and mushrooms o...

I did wonder what a Yorkshire man was doing using the term 'feather the skin'. It's not somethng I would imagine James Martin coming out with!

Laborer is used here as a synonym for "blue collar worker" but i understand your point Yes I’m aware of that BBR, what I’m saying is that it shouldn’t be! By definition, a labourer is a person doing unskilled manual work for wages, that precludes all but a very small minority in the const...

Well that is truly amazing! I'm absolutely flabbergasted that DIFC have imposed, what amounts to a purchase or value added tax. Do you know anything more about it Bora, when was it introduced, does it state on the invoice what the tax is for and what percentage rate the tax is? Indirect taxation by ...

Interesting that you think I've missed the point about the terrorist and his delusions. I thought I was quite clear that I considered his views about Muslims (that he shares with eh, Bob Spencer, Pam Geller) etc quite delusional. Interesting to consider whether others who share his loon/Islamophobi...

Well it’s all around us and I’m frankly amazed, that no reference has been posted from any of the Emiratis who frequent the site, on the 40th Anniversary celebrating the birth of the UAE.

Congratulations, and long may the UAE continue.

I guess that NN Taleb's observations about ad hominem attacks must apply here: An ad hominem attack against an intellectual, not against an idea, is highly flattering. It indicates that the person has nothing intelligent to say about your message. ...so you become numb to insults, particularly if y...

Thanks for the diagnosis. I'm always impressed by these feats of imagination. ;) Cheers, Shafique Nothing imaginary or as ridiculous as one such as you, considering yourself an intellectual!

These kind of traditions related to honour and marriage were common in europe once.
