Dubai Forums

Saw the last thing I probably ever thought I'd see in Dubai, driving to work and just past city centre mall saw a guy walking down the street wearing a t-shirt with a swastika on it. Now I actually know the original swastika was a Hindu symbol of peace but this was a proper black, in a white circle ...

one guy wearing a swastika tee say in London would raise an eyebrow or two but would go unmolested. I doubt it, leaving the genocide out for a moment, London experienced quite heavy shelling in WWII. Not to mention the amount of lives lost on the front line. People would object, probably physically...

You're right, life does go on, I slept last night and will have to go to Carre Four today

Just though it was a strange occurance that was worth 5 mins coffee break time talking about on here.

Yeah, equal rights for supporters of mass murderers!

sage & onion wrote:Now you are getting ridiculous

T'was sarcasm against people who say nazi supporters should have freedom of speach.

even if you are a visitor a temporary permit is required. How does a visitor go about getting one? I've heard this tale before, granted you don't know what you'd do until faced in this situation but regarding the tale above why didn't they just get out the cab? Coming home from the IV one night, wa...

If you are making a the same journey regularly, when you get a cabbie you like get his number and make an arrangement to collect you always.

Hack, can you guarantee 25% ROI per month?

The monthly returns are not fixed , It can be 25% , can be 30% or even more Wow So we cannot really issue a guarantee letter for you. I see, it just goes up and up. and we can set up a meeting on this. OK, I'm not a greedy person so say I have 1000 UKP to invest, roughly 5400 AED. In four months ti...

Decent sports channel this, watched Andy Murray last night, watching Racing v River Plate live now.

Anyone know if there is a schedule in English though, doesn't seem to be anything here.

A person who doesn't drink wakes up..... and that's as good as their day is going to get

Yeah, but there are downsides too.

I with michaeldubai Anyone who needs to advice about such things in their career from this forum of all places deserves abuse. She should have had a It's A Knockout style tournament, employees split into four teams, obstacle courses in funny outfits carrying leaking buckets of water. Winners go to k...

Yet you are not so keen on allowing people the freedom to drink alcohol?

desertdudeshj wrote:This is not about freedom of your rights ( the last desperate card left to play in every argument )

Never said it was, just highlighting your own simplistic attitude e.g. that you want to ban people having fun unless it correlates with your own ideas of fun, which is apparently beyond reproach.

I'm don't know too much about solving the crimes on the the internet and that but Mrs Columbo, she can't get enough of it. Just one thing.... The person being robbed is carrying a motorcyle helmet, as far as I am aware of most people just leave them on their bikes here. So would assume that it's not...

I'm after a bulk order of USB sticks (flash drives), size not important to give out at an exhibition. I am also looking for prizes to give out as competitions and am looking to get Playstations 3 or Ipods in groups of 5. Short of trailing in and out of every shop in Bur Dubai and going to Dragon Mar...

360 at Jumeirah Beach Hotel is more of a bar with dancing than a club but the resident and guest DJ's know their stuff. Alpha Club at Meridan Village has a Funktion 1 sound system and is good but check first as they do indie, urban nights as well. Chi @ The Lodge for the progressive house big names,...

Good another booze joint closes down, the less the better 8) What about the prohibition of dancing, music and simply speaking with someone of the opposite gender? All that will be left is for loads of men and boys to drive miles out into the desert - what is it you actually do out there? Bit suss i...

I am not in a gang, nor a teenage girl and I own a coat.

I enjoy my visits to the UK.

Bora Bora wrote:Key word here: "VISIT".

What's your point, caller?

Having never been to Umm Al Quwain, can someone tell me if it actually does resemble Rotherham, Sunderland, Charlton etc come closing time?

Bora Bora wrote:As opposed to LIVE. You have been disconnected.

No, I'll be going to back to live at some point.

A pity, as I'll miss the prevalent and pleasant attitude in region, demonstrated by your good self.

Ah ok, apologies, a mix up in grammer. I'm British and live in Dubai, which apart from the usual moans - bad driving, people pushing in line etc - is rather pleasant, especially at this time of year. However, when I go back every two months or so I do enjoy it and completely forget about the downsid...

The patron saint of both England and syphilis

Happy St George's Day

Seems like the start of an urban myth

So women with a darker skin pigment bleach their skin while white women spend a fortune in tanning salons and fake tan!

Hack, how come you and your company are not driving gold plated cars and working from a suite in the Burj?

Example?

Bit tough that, all the best for the future.
