Knight

LOL. welcome back DK. Things have been getting a bit heated in your absence man.

Come on Shaf, don't you think it's now time to come clean like your pal Benwj did, at least he had the maturity to admit to the racist statement Shaf referred to a certain element of the community as feral underclass. He also pointed out that they happen to be white. You then jumped down his throat...

This isn’t about having the last word Shaf, it’s about accepting the responsibility for statements one makes on a public forum, what you said that I took exception to is well documented, it was an offensive and racist remark and no amount of camouflage you or your new found lapdog wish to post over...

Thats a very reasonable response from Kid, who admits his country isn't perfect. But as he says, where is? Yes, he is also right when he said this topic was about Herve and giving him the opportunity to debate his book and answer his critics. I must spend some time reading further this weekend. It ...

Whatever you do Bora, don't make him angry.
Welcome BB2.

The point is that arabs need to learn to employ better contract negotiators.

Unfortunately this is the norm in Dubai, but arab expats tend to be the worst offenders, so you can't blame the locals for this.

Anyone who is attracted to a job for the danger money and then complains when things get tough is not a hero.

:lol: yeah, so they can include in their contracts the clause " I will not sue arabs when they screw me " . Not quite, but the contract should favour the client. VW, yes I'm being a bit harsh, hindsight would have been useful. No one expected that they might actually have to use the contr...

I knew that would be taken the wrong way.
I'll rephrase, It is the norm for Dubai, but the locals are not to blame.

What is a higher cause then?
Digging coal out of the ground? Hardly.
But you are correct herve. People deserve respect for doing things that others wouldn't.

Focus BM Focus. The issue raised here is about the term hero being applied willy nilly. Not wether there is a need for a country to have an armed force or questioning the bravery of men and women who enlist. A soldier dies reparing a generator or another gets crushed while reparing a tank although ...

My week doesn't finish until Friday 7pm. beer o'clock will be 7:15 at Aussie Legends. rum o'clock at 11pm.

wish I had a dirham for every time I heard that before.

I'm risking my life BM everytime I take a taxi down sheik zayed road. Can I have a medal please?

I blame the injustices of Dubai.

And yes that can be termed perfectly as a Hero.

just to reiterate, this guy is a legend, and the grunts that he rescued from the firefight.

weren't you married to one?

Your a cheap drunk chocs. wish it was that easy for me. I start to relax after about 8.

Nothing, if he has left Dubai, which is what they all do.

Grunts? weren't you married to one? benwj that is a very uncharitable name for soldiers. Yes I have said on this forum before that I was married to a British soldier. They are a different breed to most men and would lay down their life for a friend. Have you ever had anybody willing to do that for ...

BM, herve is probably on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. Law firm will take a slice of the millions that he is going to get from DW.

your up even earlier, or didn't you go to bed yet.

Camel meat looks and tastes like a bland version of pork.

it only grows over time because they get more and more insecure over time.

Why would you want to bring a gun to Dubai?
What is there to shoot?

Compete the luv triangle:
TL - BM
BM - Herve
Herve -

Apart from the obvious.
I mean legally.
