Yes its presumptious, just as is taking away all blame from the ozzy and making him look like a totally innocent bystander in this whole affair. Some people may have made excuses for the ozzy but no one has said that what he did was OK. He did wrong and only has himself to blame for this. But the r...

on CNN thousands of Egyptian fans make riots in front of Algerian embasy. i wonder if similar will happen to Irish fans to French embassy ;) Egypt (and Algeria who won't make past the first round at the world cup for that matter) should just give up playing football because they are obviously crap ...

The purpose of the video was to show that American soilders don't give a toss about Iraqis. Or more precisly, they care more about their own life than an Iraqis car. The only problem with this, is that by trashing the Iraqi's car, they have just created a new threat to their life and made things wo...

Egypt is the African champions having trashed Ivory Coast in the process, so benwj's statemtns are stupid. Beating an off-form african nation is something, but it ain't the world cup. Eygpt are unlucky not to make it but they will never challenge for the top spot anyway, so whats the point? Other n...

Yeh, Karama is far nicer than International City (sorry mods, buts thats what they call it, might be because of its proximity to the turd works, or because it comes up out of the ground and festers in the car parks).

Not possible using a dish and receiver. Dubai is out of satelite range.

For those who like to bash Dubai at every given opportunity try this on for size: http://mwhodges.home.att.net/nat-debt/debt-nat-a.htm The total debt of the USA $ 57 Trillion - - and soaring or how about; £2trillion - the terrifying total of our national debt... that's £33,000 for every man, woman ...

So things are a little worse than that.
Just a tip: Its not a very good idea to run down a person who owes you money before they have paid it back. Probably a better idea to wait until after they have paid it.

The Beefeater BBQ with a bottle of whatever is on special at the baracuda is not a bad option either. You even get a choice of knife... knife or no-knife. But the steaks only come well-done or charcoal. Since every steak house steakhouse in Dubai has been covered, how about... what is the best cut/a...

The irony is that herve is going to make millions selling his story... more than he ever would have from the bloody submarines.
Sounds like just another Blue Banana story to me. Expat running away from insurmountable debt, only this time he had to leave his car at DIMC rather than at the airport.

You're right. The books don't make a huge amount of money compared to what follows. You talk about media hype. We'll there is no better time than the present. Interviews with the Times and BBC World would be a start and next thing you know he'll be talking to Oprah, and then selling the movie rights...

Has the phone call been made or has it not? Thats the million dollar question.

I think not, but probably only a matter of time.

Thanks VW
Can you suggest some ramifications to the following 3 possibilities:
DW does not pay back debt.
DW pays back debt.
AD pays DW debt.

For unemployed guy, you sure are spending more than you suppose to on internet fees, or are you hanging in coffees shops with free wifi searching a job all day ? Don't be silly kid, that would involve paying for a coffee. Any good tight-arse knows that there are places with free wifi and you don't ...

Who are you trying to kid Kid! We all know very well that 'locals' don't give a damn about anyone on the road, the rest of us are just in the way! They are selfish, ignorant, arrogant morons. I really don't care if they go kill themselves, but it's the poor people they take with them! Choc, please ...

I think that you will find that Sage probably has a secure income and is grateful to Dubai for this, hence "Dubai Defender". It is more likely that you have lost you job in Dubai and are now dirty about it, hence "Dubai Basher". This is understandable, given that if you were in t...

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed christmas celebrations are more low-key than in, what I refer to as a the peak, 2007? Anyway, here are a few of my favourites: Santa: Wafi.

Why should a wealthy speeding car driver pay more for the same offence than someone who isnt as wealthy? They tried this in the UK some years ago and the system didnt work. The underlying principle is that a driving offence attracts a "penalty". It has nothing to do with how much you earn...

What a mess.

This only made it to court to try and prove that no-one is above the law in the UAE.

Alhamdulillah, the work that Sharla has done is just truly amazing. The UAE media likes to say things that are horrendously not true but let me remind you guys one thing, Sharla has support from the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid. Thus, she was invited to a court hearing to represent th...

Do you mean that users will be banned via IP addresses?

What happens if XPT moves into the $1 rent villa and the ip address changes?

Now I understand why France is trying to ban it.

I got an email from a friend who was very concerned about the possibility of me being thrown in jail. Because apparently in Dubai they throw people in jail for no reason. Then I worked out that it was just the con artist Herve peddling his book to the Aussies. http://www.abc.net.au/foreign/content/2...

I supose you need to watch the documentary to get the full story but you get the idea. And as for Marcus Lee, he is just a glorified a real estate agent isn't he? which makes him only a step above a used car salesman, and even if he didn't take anything from Nakeel, he probably deserves to be in jai...

Thanks VW. So you liked the documentary Robby. So did I. But rather than wearing rose colored glasses, I like to think that I can see past the shite colored glasses. And the UAE justice system has served me well so far. I quote from UAE major to jinglie who owed me money "you pay or I send to j...
