Wow, such prevalence in illustrating a point, the Oxford Union surely awaits you.

Sit down (or not depending on the what the future showed) in a high stakes poker game in Vegas

Also professional sport should be a bastion of jingoism and reflected glory therefore Pinoy1, all the best and congrats.

If I had a dirham for every drunk fool driving around like a idiot late at night during the weekends. You'd have how much? Even the biggest drinkers I know here do not mess with the law thus they be eating camel meat and going to the loos in a hole for 4 months. they bought their license from a gro...

I think any point has been missed with this reply.

Car prices will dip even further as the demand to sit in metal tubes, stinking of BO, in 40 degree heat will be huge.

True, but Dubai is often not comparible to the rest of the world. The Metro will take some take some strain off the buses but I doubt will do much else.

The problem I see is getting from home to station/station to home. You have some people that are going to live some distance from entry/exit points. This was one of the points I was going to make too, Dubai is hardly suited for pedestrians at the best of times. I'm all for it, I use the tube in Lon...

Sorry to hear that max, while not as bad as yours I once witnessed a crash right in front of me on the M1 in the UK once. Was able to stop in time, alert the cars behind and while the crash itself was quite bad visually, thankfully most people just suffered shock and bruising. However for months aft...

Stayed in the Rotana next door to the Meridian, which was nice. And stayed in the JAL, which despite not looking very welcoming from the road, was lovely. Not too busy, nice pool and beach and big inflatables out in the water to have a laugh on. Rooms were nicer than the Rotana too.

I was always under the impression that Italian clubs din't own their stadiums and it was the local council/authorities that did. This is how Italian clubs were able to spend more than Spanish or English clubs on players. Then again I think AC Milan are quite solvent compared to a lot of other big cl...

^ You sure it wasn't a Folex? I'm sure he had some Pucci, Fendy, and Ourmani to sell you as well! I've seen some Lovis Vutton and Hugo Bass, must be a side line. Don't know about Abu Dhabi but Dubai on the whole is rubbish for shopping both price and choice. So much so, that myself and the missus j...

A lot of silent sponsors give up their "51%" for a reduced fixed fee that reflects the amount of work they do - eg signing papers, printing letters, getting new staff through the medical test a bit quicker. This is fair enough, the company is allowed to work within a realistic financial fr...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha x Infinity

Really got to love someone who expects people to take their financial advice yet posts copies of the Company Licence online!

Hack, I don't believe you have a bank account, can I have some visual proof please?

I would either get it in quick as its about to get hot now or leave it until September onwards. As for shopping, believe it or not Dubai is not that good for shopping. The selection and choice is lacking, there are many brands just not available and for the sales they either just wheel out totally r...

Ok, know there are few petrol heads and off roaders here so bit of advice. What would you recommend at the smaller end of the SUV/4x4 market? I am thinking about an X Trail, but will test drive a Honda CR-V and Rav 4. Though I doubt I will get a Rav 4 but will try it. Any other suggestions about wha...

Somehow, I don't think marriage and honeymoon's are mutally exclusive.

Watching this at the Irish Village myself.

PointGiven - underneath the tennis stadium, Garhoud.

Metropolitan Hotel on SZR have a couple of large outdoor screens too, won't be overly busy there either.

Don't mind 20/20, dislike all the rubbish that goes with it - cheer leaders, fireworks etc.

Are they all you believe in?

the ghay soft roaders, Ah, you like the macho, hard stuff, huh? Remember and play safe though. You really dont need a offroader for anything non desert related, I actually need the space. I would get an estate car (station wagon) but they don't seem to be that popular here thus more of a liability....

Dubai is a city, it has thousands of hotels of varying standards. Got any more information?

Budget? Are you here with family, friends? Here for holiday, business, a sporting event? A few more clues and folk should be able to help.

England out now, largely due to the Duckworth/Lewis rather than any decent cricket, which is a shame to be honest would have liked to see the Windies bat 20 overs.

Re-address the balance by taking a 7 Days from the stand and binning it without reading it.

Customer service is generally appauling here. My theory is there is general high turnover of staff meaning a lack of experience and product knowledge. Add in the fact that most employees are scared of their manager/boss they would rather just loose the sale or annoy the customer rather than risk bei...

I shop a lot in Jackys, Sharaf DG My Sharaf DG (and Carre Four too but I've given up in there) experience goes like this - walk round 4 or 5 aisles looking for something. Ask a worker and after 30 seconds, "No, we don't have them sir" Decide to keep looking and eventually find what I was ...

good thing i just got myself a radar detector from good old england. god save england and the queen yay :D A collegue told me the penalties for having one of these is quite severe and that if the police see you slowing down rapidly before a radar they will pull you over and search for one.
