Dubai Forums

I dont live in Dubai either, but I could still post on DF and talk to you Sve
So why are you saying your goodbyes? Going somewhere far??
Or have you had enough of us here on DF?
Or didnt we come up to your standards?
Or the advice was not good enough?

This time I was given a card by Carlos, a Columbian helicopter pilot You're popular with pilots! Maybe you'd have made a good co-pilot :lol: BTW I think people give their cards because they think they have got something to show off. Its a pity you're not impressed with them. You would have liked my...

Well I am having a relaxing time right about now. On a cool pleasant evening. I always have plans for something. An idle mind and all that. But its relaxing for me to plan and then try and execute the plan. That's what my relaxation is, especially if all is going well. One of the things I've develop...

Beautiful poetry: The day dawns with your permission, and the night falls when you want it! Bollywood! The lady is Muslim, later married that great Indian cricketer and writer Tagore. The music is totally Eastern; not a hint of synthetic stuff, all original! Loved it :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Shaf, those lychees look delicious! They are one of my favourites too, but there are so many different varieties, and the poorer quality stuff doesn't taste so good. I used to hunt a lot in earlier years, but after graduation, I stopped. It sounded senseless to me to shed all that blood just for ple...

BM is German???
And all this time I thought she was Czech!!

why don't they unite to fight the Taliban? Once upon a time there was a bad bad country called the Soviet Union, that made another country called Afghanistan ( a relatively peaceful country at that time) to invite them to take over their country. This was unacceptable to another group of countries ...

Why on earth would you want to go on a deer hunt FF? Deer are beautiful animals Absolutely agree with you. As I said, I stopped shedding any innocent animal blood a long time back. The part of the world where I live now is famous for hunting and fishing. But people here are also very caring about t...

"Sleep after toil, port after stormy seas,
Peace after war,
Death after life does greatly please." (Edmund Spenser in 'The Faerie Queen)

My commiserations to all those who knew Tom Jones.

Why? Because of the achievement (which I can somehow understand) I guess it was the sense of achievement, the killer instinct that is in all of us (particularly males), and the satisfaction of having hunted down something that you had stalked for days, all rolled into one. But I saw it for what it ...

both sides understood fighting is not the solution. Nucleus, you have to understand that the Taliban is a cult. They have just adopted the name of Islam, and the austere and cruel Wahabi Islam of the Arabs at that, but their actions have nothing to do with any religious teaching. I was listening to...

I've almost given up red meat. Apart from the cruelty considerations, it contains lots of toxins and is not good for your body systems. Frog meat is ok. Yummy :P Btw, many years ago, there was a Korean restaurant in Dubai very popular with Koreans (naturally) where it was discovered after a couple o...

Mature looking, with a shifty look, nervously playing with a ring on their finger

So talking to them won't work and fighting them won't work, there is no solution. Its kill or be killed Nucleus. There is no talking to these people. They have to be hunted down and exterminated. Unfortunately, too many people from that part of the world have sympathies for them. This is what happe...

In support of what you are saying FD, I was reading somewhere that human brain developement only happened when our ancestors (ape like) discovered millions of years ago when they split open the bones of their prey, the bone marrow inside it. They took an immediate liking to this, and gobbled it up w...

This sort of thing is happening with some regularity these days, and I think it is unfair on the owners. That's something that would make my stomach churn if I were the owner!

A female acquaintance told me recently how it had been her great desire to get married in the Taj Mahal. She had to go through many trials and tribulations to get her wish to materialize, including a last minute hitch when they were told the ceremony had to be Islamic, and they had to dash across De...

mesheditor , Hello my friend. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. That was certainly not my intention. And I assure you, I am not racist at all. Consider your own statement: I work in a company that consists of 98% expats and 2% locals, note that this is in UAE. Imagine this is happening anywhere e...

BMreformed wrote:Do stop being so bitter and twisted.

Could you be so kind as to point out this "so twisted and bitter" part to me?

BMreformed wrote:My local friend has the manners of a gentleman unlike so many people one comes across these days.

Well I agree that kind of gentlemen (and ladies for that matter!) are so very rare in this day and age. You better stick to him like glue and dont ever lose him

sanjeevgeorge wrote:Generally are electronics cheaper in DUbai than the rest of the world?

I dont think so. I bought a camera at the Dubai airport a few months back, and it was more expensive. I enquired about the price of a Gold Rolex watch, and then at Amsterdam. It was far cheaper in Amsterdam.

Pronounced Bah'boo. When I was in the UAE, I was running a certain Department. Yes, I was a Mudir! I had another colleague, and between the two of us we ran the show. They gave us a secretary. Lets call her Ms N (I was going to call her Ms Moneypenny, having just watched Skyfall, the new Bond movie)...

I think you jumped the gun there a bit BM. For example You aren't as silly as he thinks you are, are you? How do you know what I am thinking? I definitely do not think Mesheditor to be silly!! And I never said he is silly, in fact I told him that he must be rather intelligent to be working, most lik...

And you would be dead wrong there......

BMreformed: Well done; I didnt expect this from you! You should not have a premium on insulting people. Bora, Shafique, now me. You are quite thick yourself. I know why you have such a soft corner for the Emiratis. Thats your holiday destination isnt it? Otherwise you are a Muslim hater and pro-Isr...

What do you mean what changed??? Nothing has changed! I am not a racist like you. That's something hard for you to understand.
I am sure you are going to bring up MCL now. Your one and only trump card.

I think if there is anything pathetic here its you. There is no bandwagon for me. I dont beleive in bandwagons like you do. I just tried to give you my support. And look where that has landed me.

I dont know what you are talking about. That sounds a bit ridiculous what you are syaing. Anyways, I am not really interested in what you are going to say further. There is nothing else for us to discuss

Goodbye BM. You are not really reformed are you? That laughter is a bit misplaced. I would suggest you go back to the politics section and do a bit more Arab and Muslim bashing, and support for Israel.

I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with Dubai, or its people Mesheditor. I have repeatedly said that the UAE is a BEACON OF HOPE FOR THE WHOLE OF THE REGION!! There are problems there, but hopefully they will be sorted out and settled soon. And I am glad that you say that you did not call me ig...

BMreformed wrote:As Nuc said, you should go back and read your posts

I did. I didn't see much there to be excited about. Nor anything for the hilarity that Nuc showed. I am afraid that guy is a bit lost.

BMreformed wrote:I am quite within my rights to support who I wish.

Of course you are! Then why get abusive towards me when I express my opinion?

BMreformed wrote:I have no problem with either the Emiratis or the Israelis and I give credit where I feel credit is due. I don't believe I've ever bad mouthed the country I would like to consider my second home

Now we are running into some rough terrain! Say in case of a hypothetical war between the UAE and Israel (not too far removed from the realms of possibilty even in real life) whose side should we be expecting to find you on?? Judging by what you say on other threads, of which there are many, and your great admiration for Israel and how it is dealing with its Arab/Palestinian neighbours, I can hazard a guess, and it wont be the UAE.

BMreformed wrote:On DF, a public forum, I'm free to say what I want

And so am I. Or do you want it to be one rule for you and another for me?

BMreformed wrote:Get over yourself FF.

I'd have to be a contortionist to do that. But I'll try.
