I stumbled accross a national day parade and classic car show at Dubai Mall, which was a nice surprise.
The only downside was the Events Staff Managament who looked like complete knobs riding around on their segways and trying to look important.

benwj

Yes, it most probably happens a lot in other countries also where the buildings and/or regulations are old and outdated. I've had some pretty close calls myself of not realising that a hotel window is free to open just by leaning against it. Sometimes I wonder if Alah interveined. But for parents wh...

Not likely BM.
They will take one look at you at the gate and upgrade you.
Imagine, 20,000 pakis with excessive sperm build-up and BM sitting in the middle of them in a low cut dress.

You missed one chocs:
Snow Patrol at Sandance 2012 on 9th March.

benwj

What numpty is organising this event??? As you pointed out chocs, Culture Club were here in the last 12 months... and they are playing 2 nights before NYE. They would struggle to fill the tennis stadium at the best of times. In fact I'd say it was Belinda Carsile who drew most of the crowd last time...

benwj

Not a fan of Sandance?

I won't be here for NYE, but I can't think of a better place to be in Dubai.
Tickets for Snow Patrol go on sale then also which could be the first time sandance sells out I reckon.

benwj

Tickets are available now BM and are quite reasonable.

You have a difficult decision. Is is worth paying 250 dirhams to sit with Imran Khan.

benwj

I can understand him going to Sydney, plenty of willing partners there, but sorry, Culture Club are not going to draw much of a crowd... even if most of the locals also like it that way... they prefer to remain in the closet/toilet.

One is an inanimate brainless object, the others are fruit/vegetables.

Chocoholic , If arnie were still here he'd be saying "I told you so chocs". Everything at Sports City (and Motor Coty for that matter) has been at a standstill for a few years now, which is shame because they both showed a lot of promise. The 2 worst decisions I have ever seen are putting...

Its early days yet but Pakistan have the upper hand in the 1st test being held right here in Dubai. Has anyone been to watch it? --- Mon Jan 23, 2012 5:38 pm --- So the Pakis kicked England arse. All over in 3 days. They weren't even thoughtful enough to drag it out an extra day and give the poor du...

I'd rather sit at the bar and drink by myself than have to pay a hooker to talk to me.

If the apartment were handed over today, the full mortgage + service fees would be higher than the current rent she is paying + part-mortgage. She would be losing money from month to month. Rents won't be increasing for the forseeable future, so waiting is not such a bad position to be in. Although ...

Flying Dutchman , You mean like a men's club FD? They already exist and I imagine are doing quite well. The only problem is that no man goes into these places looking for just a conversation with an attractive woman. They are basically high end brothels to cater for the more discerning husbands (re...

1. Arabian Ranches: well established with good facilities. prices there rose between 10-20% over 2011. Motor City and Sports City are nearby albiet incomplete projects but also with stronger than average demand and ticking along. The Green Community another in the same category, but about the furthe...

I think chocs is referring to voluntary carbon credits. You know the ones that some guy offers to sell for 4 pounds and your thinking thats a pretty good deal given that kyoto are selling them for 6 times that.

benwj

Have a look at The Palm also. Nothing like it anywhere else in the world, which has to be a good thing.

benwj

But I generate carbon, I don't have any credits to sell.

Welcome back BM. Glad to hear you enjoyed your time away. Whats with the English and not going to support their cricket team? I suppose more would have gone on the weekend but none that I spoke to seemed that interested anyway. Tell Beth to pull herself together and go out and find a handsome, strap...

So much for Billy Ocean then.

shafique ,

They will basically have an interest free loan. I doubt that they will pay the loans off anyway as it will cost the govt more to keep chasing them and keeping records than to just forget about it.

The sterotype is that it it normal because all p<3n stars these days have it done. A bit like the latest trend in labiaplasti or whatever its called for the female pornstars. Fathers generally make the d for their sons and women decide for themselves regarding the labia thing, although it is easy to...

benwj

The govt is cashed up and would otherwsie be spending the money on fast cars and women, so it isn't really a debt to them.

benwj

You may be correct BM. After all the husband was Arab-canadian from memory and didn't even have the balls to defend his wife. There's also no excuse for the others laying so much as a finger on the wife. Either way they are all cowards and the judges sentence only confirms the ethics that they live ...

benwj

The couple should give up on the tougher sentence. If it wasn't forthcoming in the first instance, it is only going to be grudgingly given now. They said they were leaving the UAE anyway. Just pay a visit to the brothers house before jumping on the plane. Anyone else find 3 middle aged brothers havi...

benwj

Singapore and Hong Kong did badly as well. I think it just confirms that none of the respondents moved to any of these places to settle and immerse themselves in the culture and assimilate with the locals. None give citizenship to foreigners. Most would prefer to live in the likes of New Zealand, Au...

10km tailbacks into global village it last night.
I am trying really hard not to be racist but this goes to show that some really are stupider than others.
A big thankyou goes out to the police for preventing these idiots from blocking all 6 lanes of emirates road.

benwj

To put it in perspective, if I so much as lay a finger on a local (or display a finger for that matter) I will receive a minimum sentence of 1 month in jail before being deported. If I punched a local a few times, I'd be looking at 12 months I'd say, maybe more. I don't think they deserve to spend 1...

benwj

I'm leaning towards the Emirates. It sounds like the Canadian guy was looking for a fight but wasn't up to it.
I'm not saying that he should have moved, but thats all he had to do.

benwj

Whats the dress code? Speedos and flip flops
