Hmm agree in entirety with you choc...Not everyone is looking for something based on a bump and grind encounter in a club, most of the time when both parties are not in their senses..for that matter even the conversations you have at bars/clubs are under the same influence, and as a result coquettis...

Nik

Wow never expected replies at 6am....seems apart from lonely people, dubai also has a lot of insomniac people :) Well I'd like to think that there are many genuine sincere people around, just that they never get to demonstrate their sincerity...I suppose the environments you talk about would be cond...

Nik

Hmm I agree a houseparty is too much work for one person as well...much better to meet up on neutral territory...Shochos sounds like a really good idea...might I recommend the 80s night on Sunday? Though that might not be as well attended as Thu if people aren't up for late nights on weekdays Anyway...

Nik

Lol apparently this persian gulf/arabian gulf topic is quite controversial elsewhere as well...all answers can be found here : http://arabian-gulf.info/ :P k whats in a name anyhow...but one things for sure, lots of things are named after erstwhile conditions....Siam is now Thailand, but we still ha...

Nik

Ok a good link that intelligently dissects the issue (admittedly on an Iranian history site)...not a hokey one like I gave in the last message

Well the price of the ipod mini 4GB has reduced drastically since they introduced the 6GB (which is also the exact moment after I bought the 4GB one grrrrr)...I bought the 4GB for Dhs 999 but the 6 GB costs about that much now....I think the 4 GB is around the Dhs 700-800 mark ...you have the more c...

Nik

Yeah especially the online ones like Clarendon Parker and Bayt.com should be extremely helpful....Oracle DBA is smokin hot here....get your OCP if you can soon....I started on it but never finished with it much to my regret..its a great certification, and it does help in securing jobs...Oracle very ...

Nik

Its called pig latin...transpose the first letter of each word to the end of the word and add 'ay'...seems most of you know this, but for those who wanted background info

Nik

I think its required policy now that every second message must be in pig latin form...the mods will verify I'm sure...still whoever replies to this will want to play it safe and follow that guideline :P Hmm might be fun to translate a word twice over day = ayday = dayayay? and it could keep goin I t...

Nik

hmm not sure if the greens community is different from emaar greens...but emaar greens is most definitely near the fifth interchange...should know coz I have a flat there (its an apartment complex right next to the golf course) :) (gosh unless this is a move by emaar to shift stuff closer to Ibn Bat...

Nik

Not quite liban...the difference between not believing in god and not believing in religion can be quite big, its the difference between atheism and agnosticism...religion is a more organized collective form of spirituality, and some people might find that that means its easier to go wrong since col...

Nik

Hmm I think in the current clime, its better to invest in a villa than in an apartment, for one the apartments market is becomin saturated...of course if your interest is residential rather than speculative, a villa might be more trouble to maintain...but I just get the feeling villas are safer inve...

Nik

Very resourceful D, good job :) That's the Greens I know about, but what threw me off is dxbgoddess' mention of investments park (maybe that means the sales center?)...don't recall that being in the vicinity...perhaps I missed it....or maybe there's something else called Greens COMMUNITY? Rather unl...

Nik

Yeah I take offence to this stuff as well...for some reason it seems ok to have religious prejudices here...no one's telling you what to believe in (and the times that they try to online, the same people waxing eloquent on other religions take exception, thats sheer hypocrisy)...do not expect respec...

Nik

Ok I'm gonna turn that on its head...and this might be a more controversial view....but religion is all the science we don't want explained or can't be explained...am not saying religion doesn't exist, but why can't God and science go hand in hand? Science is nothing but natural law...man's only rol...

Nik

Check out http://www.phride.com/...its mostly dedicated to local metal bands...but am sure there must be some mellower bands as well who share your influences...good luck!

Lol bell biv divoe that brings back childhood memories

Hmm currently listening to Sparta - Breaking the Broken...what an awesome but unusual song...breathtaking

oh Weezers up next

Nik

Despots are in power because they take advantage of the situation and escalate it...the people have not voluntarily chosen such leaders, even in sham elections...its the chicken egg scenario...which came first the despots or the extreme suffering...but one thing is for sure they need help, whoever's...

Nik

Well the manner of your asking is offensive to one who takes their beliefs seriously ... and your tone continues in the last message...using a term like d*** in the context of a god...and then laughing implying 'hehehe look at that'... here's a tip : easiest test to see if something you say is offen...

Nik

What about all the high profile international buyers in the palms...like David Beckham and Julio Iglesias....what rules govern the nature of their acquisition? Am sure no one here has the cojones to screw them over

Nik

[quote="Liban"]Never really undersood the enlish expression of Devil's advocate...[/quote] If I remember correctly, its originally a religious term interestingly enough...when someone was up for sainthood (canonization), there would be a formal discussion where the reasons in favour of the...

Nik

If its cheap you want, stay in Sharjah...you should easily be able to find a small apartment for that rate....but of course the trade off is you're gonna have to do a lot of driving/commuting...not that the distance is much, but the traffic is crazy, considering everyone has the same idea ie; stay i...

Nik

[quote="Liban"]None taken. If an Indian has a western passport, say a Canadian one, then this person is in a much better position than his compatriot with only an Indian passport. Its logical, people from Arab and Western countries (regardless of their ethnicity) are usually much more bett...

Nik

Ok the cheapest one I've heard of is the one at the Sofitel City Centre Hotel...last I heard was 1500 for 6 months including tennis courts (or I might be mixing it up with squash courts)... If you want a package that includes classes etc. you could try the Nautilus Academy in Musalla towers, you'd d...

Nik

Ok for arguments sake, lets say the last thing someone should do is give aid to Africa....what is the alternative course of action then? Overthrow the despots with the help of foreign powers? Remember what happened in Iraq? Saddam Hussein was an undesirable despot as well, but even removing him left...

Nik

I loved the movie too! The comic book look and film noir was awesome! Plus I'm a sucker for narration over scenes :) The gore factor was a bit over the top but made for good black comedy I must admit....Robert Rodriguez chose to share directing duties with Frank Miller, the guy who wrote the graphic...

Nik

Well hopefully by august it should be a bit better....its not usually as humid as its been this year...usually more of dry heat...but yeah its pretty bad...thank god for air conditioning though eh?

Nik

Look I don't mean to be insensitive...you obviously are closer connected to this atrocity than me since its your home country choc, and your anger is totally justifiable, but I just find it odd that people who have made their way as expatriates should ask for more restrictions on people coming into ...

Nik

Not so fast! Ok lets just go for it...this Fri or next Sun, Shochos retro night...cheesy music...awesome fun!

What about you Pumpkin figure you can make it down from AD?

Nik

[quote="Pumpkin Escobar"]City of God, Ong Bak, CB4[/quote]

Lol CB4...that was a funny movie! rap mockumentary, wonder why no one has tried to make one of those recently...hmm it had either chris tucker or chris rock in it right? before they became famous
