Well apart from the exceptions Liban gives, I'd say eating on the go is a big part of the lifestyle here, definitely not something objected to

Nik

yep thats IBO formerly known as Terminal at the Millenium Airport Hotel...They've always been out of the ordinary as a club, and now on Mondays they've started screening films....and not your run of the mill popcorn films that you see at movie nights at other venues...just stopped off their today wh...

[quote="Trinny"]Dubai better watch out because 25 Irish guys and girls are heading to dubai to work for a year! Bring it on!!!!!![/quote]

25?? Its like Gangs Of New York for the 21st Century

Ok I don't really care where we meet up as long as we do meet up...The first q is are weekdays ok for people? And if so what time? I myself am tending towards Sunday night at ShoChos at about 10...but if anyone has any better suggestions lets put them in the air right away and decide...coz we don't ...

Nik

Well its not as bad as it sounds...yes Etisalat does censor the internet in the sense they have a proxy which restricts access to certain sites...but thats about the extent of their interference...plus I guess if you stay somewhere near Ski Dubai (in one of the Emaar properties), your internet is li...

Ok guys thought I'd start a new topic following on from the 'Houseparty' thread, since that seems to be gettin buried...As y'all know we're supposed to meet up in July, and doesn't seem to be getting off the ground...so lets just try to wing it...Am gonna be at Sho Chos today at 10 PM ...80s night.....

I love that movie!

At the last company I worked in the situation got quite farcical...After employees protested against handing over their passports, the company made it a policy that either the labour card OR the passport must be in the company's possession at all times...and people preferred handing over their passp...

Nik

Well I think Arabian Nights makes for great stories, can't discredit stuff coz they were made into Disney movies, else we might have to tell the likes of Victor Hugo they're not considered serious writers The Rubaiyat by Omar Khayyam is famous...Hmm for contemporary Arab writers go for Naguib Mahfou...

Nik

Interesting basis for a question sniper...hope I've got the gist of it right...what happens to faith when one comes face to face with evidence to the contrary? And I don't mean religion in particular...Am sure its more than just a case of amending one's beliefs and carrying on, must have a huge psyc...

Nik

Lol its no coincedence that the ironic Cold War term Mutually Assured Destruction(referring to why nuclear weapons made a good deterrent) can be abbreviated to the acronym M.A.D. ...because that's exactly what it is...going nuclear is never directed at one country in particular, its a guarantor of w...

Nik

Yep agree totally choc I think 'near death experiences' are because of the chemical cocktail our nervous system whips up at moments of stress...not to mention that our brain probably subconsciously copycats the near death experience we would expect to see after hearing about the door/white light sce...

Nik

Hmm wasn't castellano in another thread asking whether anyone was lookin to hire a drummer? Course not sure he'd wanna just jam if its his livelihood...can also check out www.phride.com...what kind of music do you guys play?

Nik

Look abs, its my humblest request that you abandon this thread and this line of argument, coz it can turn sour very soon...Wherever we're from and whatever we do, we're here to consolidate our similarities not polarize ourselves further by pointless argument...this is not constructive at all...Lets ...

Nik

No its certainly not the practice for the interviewee to pay their way over, I'd be wary of any place that asks you to do so...They want you here so they should pay the way...Its a golden opportunity to come down here before you accept the job though as it will help you grab the lay of the land And ...

Nik

Lets be honest abs, everytime you do say something like that, you DO mean to be rude...and please you are not interested in discussion at all, just in evangelising the rest of the world...discussion entails both talking and listening, you do a lot of the former, none of the latter....just because I ...

Nik

Lol yeah the name is hilarious...makes me wonder whether its a practical joke/hoax? Now if ever a tv character deserved a planet named after them, its Homer Simpson :) Oh one line in particular grabbed my attention: Xena is icy, rocky and bigger than Pluto. Yep that sounds like Lucy Lawless to me! ;)

Nik

Well there's a distinct difference between Marx's vision and the monolithic structure that communism became...Marx's ideals were perverted by the likes of Stalin, who was after personal power (Has anyone read George Orwell's Animal Farm, fascinating book which tells the same story in simple lucid te...

Nik

Lol you better believe it Bobbi! I can get a helluva lot more wordy and purple prosy

And I will not relent from such well thought out counterpoints as 'but she started it!' and 'I know you are but what am I'

Nik

You are such a twat! Just what this board needs another fanatic...I'm Hindu and I don't worship the 'DIKC' and neither does anyone I know....and besides if they did, how the hell does it bother you? Who are you to decide who deserves to live or not? Pathetic, am sure you don't put on your prejudiced...

Nik

Ok I hate to get into this, coz frankly I don't care what some people worship coz I think respect for humanity is the only important thing...but what you just said is simply not true algren, just an urban legend...lingam means symbol, to tell you the truth I didn't have too much info, but I did rese...

Nik

A planet made of cheese...hmm it shall be called Noveau France

Nik

Whats really ironic is some people smack their cryin kids brutally coz they think they're making a scene in public! Good on ya choc, confronting him...I've been quietly disgusted on many occasions, but never worked up the courage to say anything...Frankly I think its just plain abuse, and that's rea...

Nik

[quote="Liban"]It is risky no doubt.... I am in Canada right now but would like to move there... I am taking about 3.5 weeks off work (trust me that was hard to do because we can't do that in Canada easily) just to go down to Dubai soon and hope to find something.... If that fails, I will ...

Nik

Well the one place that comes to mind is the Dubai Bowling Centre...but haven't been there in a while and I think they were planning to take the tables out...plus since its in Mamzar, a bit of a drive from Karama...I do remember playing on a ramshackle table in this pool hall in Karama a few years b...

Nik

Think Twice - Eve6 .... Killer riffs on that!

Up next : Peter Cincotti - St Louis Blues, Skunk Anansie - Weak

Nik

Darn it I now got that A-Team tune playin in my head :P...That and Magnum P.I. lol....Hmm soundtracks, I'd like the High Fidelity/Royal Tenenbaums/Batman Forever soundtracks...for purely instrumental ones, Chariots Of Fire/Forrest Gump/Superman Weren't they planning on making an A-Team movie? With M...

Nik

[Deleted coz the dang thing got posted twice!]

Nik

Well one things for sure, all those claims that sniper goaded you into confrontation (ie; 'sniper started it!') are all bogus...coz he's not even around anymore and it seems you guys can't get enough of him! Liban even tracks down long dead threads where sniper had the last word in order to reply to...
