Airwolf had a kickass theme tune! (or at least so I remember coz its just disappeared from my conscious or been mixed up with all the other theme tunes...hmm guess I have to download it as well!) Yeah Top Gun had some rousing stuff as well (apart from the beautiful Take My Breath Away...I loved the ...

My commisserations man...but if its of any consolation, there's this place in Deira/Mamzar that makes those turkish burgers (the humongous ones)...Can't recall the exact location, last went there 4-5 years ago...but I think it was called Turki Burger ...hehe sorry dude best I can do...was supposed t...

Perhaps you stay in the Emaar area? Coz Etisalat doesn't cover it, am pretty sure Sahm (the ISPs for Emaar) have no such restrictions...Etisalat feverishly guards its right to be the sole emissary for communications outside the UAE...If by some chance, we made contact with aliens from outer space he...

Nik

Well a person is the sum of all the choices he or she has made up to that point...good or bad, all those choices define you, they're in the past, and you are here now...If you made a different choice (what you might percieve as the right choice), you would have been on a totally different route, per...

All of Dubai is turning into Disneyland...what with underwater hotels and rotating villas...not to mention they've planned it as such by giving theme park names like Dubailand, Sports City etc [quote="Umass"]I wish they will build there Disney land ...I love it :D . So my husband can work ...

Don Johnson just has that natural cool charm about him, he didn't seem to lose it with age in Nash Bridges either...Hmm Colin Farrell usually does a good job, but I do hope they keep it in the 80s...or at least do a Starsky and Hutch and keep the style of those times intact Battle Of The Planets! G-...

Naah don't think so...you got there early I presume, it normally picks up only after 1...coz they don't have a door policy regarding couples or anything before 12, lots of people just storm in...But yeah I don't go for the wed/thu events there much any more, unless its a really good DJ like Osunlade...

Hell ya I remember Automan! Or should we go by his alter ego Otto Mann (and you thought Superman had a weak disguise)...The shiny digital suit (and car...I think they actually called it the Auto-mobile? lol) was just the coolest special effect I could imagine at the time...who knew what was to come ...

I miss http://www.suprnova.org....Ever since they've been forced to shut down bittorrents, they've turned into a ringtone download site! Etisalat claims they're not the one's responsible for the blocking and its range, but rather the Ministry Of Info has direct influence on that....of course they ou...

Nik

Manimal...he's a man who can turn into an animal...get it? :P Cheesy but fanflippintastic! Lol I'm sure they spliced all the breathing sounds from 70s porno flicks...coolest was when he turned into a panther and he would make that semi fist (not bending at his knuckles but at the joints of his finge...

Nik

Yep very famous one (one of my favorites as well...its just so darn pretty!) ... Pachelbel's Canon

Nik

Secret Of My Success that was a funny movie...Speaking of Michael J. Fox how about the Back To The Future movies? awesome...wish I had a Delorean :P The Lost Boys was cool...one of the umpteen movies with the Coreys (Haim and Feldman), and a great hilarious twist ending :P...Hmm other 80s movies I l...

Nik

Its crazy how slow the response has been from within the states, was watching the NBC coverage (is it just me or is NBC the anti-Fox? ie; they lean as much to the other side), and it just smacks of the political machinery just falling apart...ineffective leadership federally, and Bush's response jus...

Nik

I dunno stainless obviously you know the situation better since you're more directly affected, but IMHO the federal government has a bigger responsibility here...Though 9/11 was obviously bigger in magnitude, it was still localised to an area, and the rest of New York came to the rescue; In this cas...

Lol the question is where the socks go

Darn that's that scene from American History X....still scares the crap out of me lol...ewww

[quote="cadmus"]hey someone just told me that during the Ramadan...all restaurants will be closed.....atleast during fast hours....what will happen to the guys who dont cook....i hope it was a joke[/quote] Restaurants will be closed for dining in, but takeaways and home delivery will be in...

Nik

Yeah fair enough if someone's in the fast lane and you're slowing them down, it would be the right and polite thing to give way...but in a sane manner! I don't give way to those yahoos that come right up your tail without any warning! Flash your lights at me from a fair distance and I will give my i...

Nik

Is it true the inflated petrol prices are because some of the companies (not all) send their oil to refineries in the far east? If I remember correctly Adnoc and Enoc were willing to keep petrol prices down but others could not keep up due to their expensive refinement process

Nik

I think Ajman University is supposed to have a very good and reputable dentistry department...supposed to be their flagship degree

Nik

Great song pillbox! I like it even better than that Superman one

I'm getting hooked to really old jazzy songs

currently listening to Nat King Cole - Stardust

but of course got some Lifehouse coming up

Nik

The sound was really bad...totally wrong choice of venue, the low metallic roof provided lousy acoustics...but yeah they were energetic on stage, still underwhelming on the whole for me

Nik

Hmm Syriana is that George Clooney film right? Wasn't there another movie shot partially here a couple of years ago starring Tim Robbins..it was called Code 46 I think [quote="kayvee"]Check out his artice as well.... http://www.gulf-news.com/Articles/NationNF.asp?ArticleID=174707 and also ...

Nik

I'm probably biased, having grown up here, but I think Dubai is a great place for kids! There is just so much to keep children occupied...check out http://www.expatmums.com/

Nik

Well where you stay is largely dependent on how much of a stipend you have allocated for rent...prices fluctuate from area to area....I think Dubai Men's College is on Emirates Road (a fast moving highway), so driving 20ks should not be time consuming at all...the traffic is a bit capricious, but yo...

Nik

Well there are expat strongholds in Rashidiya/Mirdif itself....mostly in the form of villas

Nik

Good point...In fact I think in more hectic places, the hustle and bustle masks the idiot factor a bit...I mean when you're always on the go and stressed out, who really takes time to dwell on the morons? You just take it in your stride, perhaps swallow some pride, and just move on coz you don't hav...

Nik

[quote="easternjewel"] OMG, I so much agree with you on this! Their attitude is like your entering their territory![/quote] Lol yeah its so annoying, they seem so desperate to maintain their space that they might as well pee on it to mark their territory...So many people neglect giving ind...

Nik

Huge huge difference, those killed in the holocaust were mostly non combatants...not saying that captured soldiers being tortured and killed is ok at all, its disgusting, but its even worse when its civilians...And we're talking about 6 million lives being extinguished here! Have some perspective......

Nik

Yeah that industry is horrific too and thre Japanese with whaling, for heavens sake leave the animals alone. I also detest the fur industry. Anyone who thinks it's cool to wear dead animals on their back is just sick! Fur has a face!!! Hmm yeah they should pass legislation that all fur coats must c...
