Hey Gene, ya great wuss. You come on here calling England players faggots, saying you'd like to see them humiliated and going on about English hooligans and then you go all indignant when you get a bit of ribbing back. What did you expect with such a provocative post?

By the way, thanks Chocs for the bit of support. And I forgive you for calling me a wimp for being a football supporter :D ! Bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk on the way..... or maybe you're a Bourneville girl :D ! Personally I don't think you can beat a dark chocolate Bounty... while you're watching Engl...

Gene, old son. I might be mistaken but I thought England won their opening match and were top of the group!! As far as your Beckham comments go, I'm sure he'll be really devastated by your comments. He plays for one of the biggest clubs in the world and is hero-worshipped by the supporters there bec...

There is no disguising the fact that the treatment of these thousands of labourers is appalling. Their pay is terrible, they work in difficult and dangerous conditions, toiling for long long hours under a blistering sun and live in cramped and basic accommodation. Saying "No-one forced them to ...

Minimum wage. Toughen up health and safety laws and institute proper rigorous checks to cut the number of deaths and injuries on the sites. Allow the workers some form of representation like a trade union. Prosecute employers who subject their workers to dangerous conditions. Insist on a proper stan...

I don't understand why everyone's got a downer on Rooney... all he did was kick the wrong ball

Now that I'll be permanently based in the UK, I just thought I'd sign off with a little farewell to you all. First off, this is a great forum. All right you do come across the odd crazy dropping by, the odd stroppy get spoiling for a ten-minute argument never to be seen again, the occasional saddo w...

Hi K, I'm back in the UK permanently now but was having a quick revisit to the site to get the gen and do you know something, I reckon you could be a reporter. You have a real knack for asking the searching questions that cut through the bull and get to the centre of things... and I may just pop bac...

Hi, I’m back in the UK for good but I still occasionally have a check on you guys to see what’s happening and what you're all up to. I’m back in the rolling greenery of Northern England with my Celtic roots (I like to romantically think so, anyway) and have just completed a wander across the length ...

Yorky, a man with taste... I always said so

bet you've woken up with some thumping heads after a few XBs mate.

In answer, not far from Newcastle.

Thanks for that K. And yes I'm doing great thanks and hope it's the same for you. Looking at this board it just looks like an everyday tale of Dubai Forums... stalkers pestering the girls, in-fighting, political battles, sound Dubai advice... and some good laughs along the way :D ! Think I might jus...

Yorky, you posh git :wink: Harrogate, no less. I know it well. I always knew you were the refined sort :D Sounds like you're more of a traditional pub man than a Betty's tea shop tho :D . I always found XB has a bit of kick to it and funny you should mention Black Sheep because I sampled a couple of...

I think MT would love to employ the services of the Pied Piper of Dubai

They aren't from another species you know!

GoodBai

What you would hope is that if safety has been lax in some respect, then a full and proper investigation would be launched and a prosecution would follow. But this is Dubai and the poor labourers who actually build the place seem to be treated as fodder. The safety record and conditions for these pe...

GoodBai

In which case they should be forced to by the authorities. There needs to be a thorough and tough enforcement of health and safety standards to protect people rather than leaving them at the mercy of those who run sites. It is the sensible and right way forward in a modern state.
