Ah Newfoundland, is it true that there's only one surname among the entire population
It's high time the rip-off landlords in Dubai got their comeuppance. big time. No-one objects to people making a decent profit, especially in a property-boom city but the level of profiteering now is nothing short of scandalous. Rents increased in the first quarter of this year by an average of 17.1...
There'll be a reckoning eventually with rises of this magnitude. I know of people either getting out or considering their future because it's becoming increasingly difficult to actually save anything while you're here. I don't think the streets are paved with gold any more.
The plain fact is that many people are finding that they are no better off/worse off than they were in say the UK because dream packages are not being thrown at people these days. When you start adding up the very high cost of renting a reasonable, decent-sized, air-conditioned apartment and furnish...
Arnie, I'm going to suggest we give you a "Your problems answered by Doctor Arnie" slot. I reckon you could be one of these "new men" with this in-depth understanding of women's problems
When you're feeling a bit down and looking for a little boost, there's nothing like logging on here to find a thread that starts with the word SUICIDE to lift the spirits Can someone please pass the mogadon!
Taxis that smell like you've stepped into the armpit of Hell... (and yes I know these poor buggas have to work 16 hour days, so with full apologies for me being such a cruel, heartless, unfeeling git). But I find it so difficult holding my breath for a full ten minutes. The latest barmy idea is to m...
From the other side of the fence, what I hate most is having to wear a crash helmet during those times when women hate being a girl... just a joke, go easy on me
I despair reading the daily reports of death and destruction. Muslim killing Muslim every day, factions at each other's throat everywhere, suicide bombers who don't care who they take with them, soldiers slain followed by joyous celebrations by gloating killers, kidnappings, threats, fear... in fact...
The really frightening thing about Iraq now that it has been completely destabilised is that there doesn't appear to be any solution that will work. Some say "Get the foreign invaders out and leave Iraq to sort itself out"... but I think that will lead to death and destruction on an even m...
Anyway, you can discount Germany from winning the World Cup. I just read that their captain Michael Ballack has been fined 60,000 euros (Dhs283,277) for failing to declare a handbag he bought in Dubai at airport customs. The handbag - worth Dhs9,442 - was found in his luggage at Munich airport. The ...
I would be interested to know what kind of a waiter HP was. My guess would be a very slow one by virtue of him stopping at every other table and asking each and every woman sat there to marry him :D I'm a Brit and I reckon I would have paid the bill and left him 10 per cent... for amusement value :D
I think it is indisputable that women are more careful and cautious generally behind the wheel and have fewer accidents. But I think it's also indisputable that a far greater number of them are completely garbage at parking cars... leaving cars 5ft from the kerb, at odd angles or even ducking out of...
Believe me, I would be dominant were it not for the fact that she's also ordered me not to speak :D Where's Chocs anyway, I thought this one would have flashed straight up on her "Stupid bloke alert" radar and she would have shot me down within seconds.... I reckon she would have done but ...
"What do these troops get for doing this? They attend a class on ethics" I don't think that tells the whole story. What happens is they investigate and prosecute those responsible. And that is what they have said will happen. The accusations are appalling and have shocked America as well ...
One in two long-term smokers will die prematurely as a result of their habit and in the UK 114,000 are killed by smoking every year. Worldwide almost 5 million people die prematurely each year as a result of smoking, most from lung cancer, chronic obstructive lung disease and coronary heart disease....
He was a brutal, evil killer rather than a freedom fighter who was quite willing to slay innocent men, women and children in his mission. Looks like the $25m bounty on his head was too good to resist for someone. It doesn't mean the end of the killing in Iraq by any means but the removal of this but...
So, do you think the interests of the Iraqi people would be best served if the allied troops marched out of Iraq tomorrow? Whatever your views are on whether the coalition was right to oust Saddam, do you think that the best way to secure peace and security now for the people of Iraq would now be an...
Gene, you bitter little man. The England team contains some world class players capable of adding a great deal to this World Cup but no-one, as far as I can see is saying the trophy is in the bag. England supporters tend to approach any big competition in hope rather than expectation and this time i...
Oh, I see, everyone in England is a football hooligan. I think you'll find that if you now compare England with other countries in Europe in that respect, you'll to come to the conclusion that you're talking a load of old cobblers. I don't expect England to win the World Cup and I don't over-hype th...
