...professionals would not be treated that way, simply cuz they don’t allow it, and I don’t believe in someone doing their dos in such low level places… there have got to be other options…. To be honest mate, some of the places are not total dives. Even in a four star hotel, I have known of the fem...

Well mate, I don't know what to say except...congratulations! I've lived in Dubai for the last 15 years and Satwa is one of my favorite places. Like one poster said, it sounds like you are on, or near, Al Diyafa Street, which is great. Al Diyafah is a fantastic little place, one of the oldest street...

burton

Heh!I'll say it again... You see some old European guy walking down the road with a twenty something Filipina, we all think the same thing. But for that matter, you think exactly the same if it's a 40 something Lebanese guy with a young dishy Lebanese girl. Or (for example) a 50 something British ex...

Yep, as much as there were disagreements in opinion, I don't think it should have been moved. I've 'contributed' quite a few posts to that thread - but now I can no longer access it, because I can't access Fight Club! Mods, if you could look into the possibility of restoring the original location......

The back streets of Satwa are most definitely a big grubby, but Satwa as a whole isn't so bad. Yeah, Ian is right. The back streets of Satwa are very grubby BUT nobody actually walks down those backstreets! They are the streets going between people's houses - you just don't go down them! Not becaus...

Hmm...

You know guys, there are some pretty powerful perfumes on the market...

so if she looks a million dollars, but smells like a skunk, well...

I reckon burton could still give her a go!

Friday night, went down to Al Diyafah Street. Two hotdog sandwhiches and a jumbo shrimp burger from Jebel Al Noor, still the best. AED10. Carried it across the road to KFC and scoffed it there instead (superior al fresco dining area) and swigged it down with some barbican non-alcaholic beer, my newf...

Diyafa really have its own vibe, love it or hate it. Love it, Fayz! I will be starting a new job before the end of this year. There's a good chance I will be offered accomodation on either Shk Zayed Road or just round the corner from Al Diyafa. And honestly mate, I think I might even ditch ol' Zaye...

Sorry mate,
I scribbled it on a KFC napkin but it's gone for a... burton!
But honestly we're not joking. She does live in KFC!

Hi Rachel. Dubai Stone? I think you mean the Dubai Ton! It's kind of strange. Everyone is familiar with the phonemena you're writing about, and you can definitely see a lot of expat fatties in Dubai. But on the other hand, there seems to be a very large segment of people who seriously 'take care of ...

i dont think so, ive read in the papers today that its mostly uae nationals suffering from obesity especially the kids coz they live a sedentary lifestyle. for us expats, i highly doubt that. like burton said most join their local gyms or watch their weight by proper diet. for me i exercise at home...

burton

Yep, I managed to catch it last week. Pretty appalling stuff although I'll be honest, I was expecting them to show even more plainly the terrible stress/psychological condition these poor guys are under. The reaction of one of the officials was typical - how dare anyone suggest that their treatment ...

My girlfriend saw the concert, she was working there.

She's been to quite a few of these gigs and she said it was a good night.

Said Pink's perfomance was good and that the event itself was organised/managed very well...

Sound right to you?

Regarding fasting, here's a question: For those of you who do actually fast, do you find that you lose weight during Ramadan, or put more on? Just that 'fasters' always seem to be divided into two camps; those who look forward to Ramadan and can't wait to cut down on their food, and those who dread ...

burton

Strange...I'm not feeling it so much this year. I mean, I don't see the same kind of coverage in the media...

Most of the coverage has been the McCann case on SKY, and the Surge report on the other channels...

burton

Just wondering if any of you went along, saw any good deals, what you bought etc.. Went down there yesterday morning, took ages in the traffic, couldn't get a parking space. So I just thought sod it, went to Sharaf instead and bought a new Dell XPS laptop and Nokia 3600. Was told the prices are iden...

i thought this thread was about chocolate mice,
the ones we used to eat as kids...

burton

Hi dave101! Sorry for being too generic. I train in Kali, a Filipino martial art which is weapons oriented. I'm looking for someone to train with on a regular basis. I'm sure your Muay Thai and Wing Chun training will really come in handy since both are combative in nature and not just for sports. ...

burton

mmmmmmmm and the white mice are the tastiest, tis like jelly babies always bite the head off first - yummy :P :P yeah strange, it's like some universallly recognized law when eating pic n mix sweets - always do the head first not sure what it means...! what about bottles? Do you chomp the base off ...

burton

The other thread about chocolate mice got me
thinking/daydreaming about
being a kid again...

Just take a look at this site:

Milk Teeth!! Bloody Lager Tops!!!

Which were your favorites?

burton

Da, where do you train in kali? At the BB Centre, or is is a private arrangement? Is your teacher Filipino? Hi there burton! We're training regularly in Al Safa park at night. But since I came back from vacation, we still haven't resumed. I'm Filipino by the way. Let me know when you're available s...

burton

Yeah, this is gonna be a cracker, no doubts about it! Possibly the fight of the year... Am a big PAC fan, and Barrera is my least favorite out of the Mexican boxers, so I hope Manny does it again... BUT, you can never, never count Barrera out! He has become a real crafty veteran in his later years a...

burton

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!

burton

Burton, I think it's too late knocking Barrera out in round 8. Pacman knockout Morales in round 3, but it wasn't a good show because the main event lasted for 9 minutes only! :lol: PACMAN has to knock his underdog opponent out before the 12 round ends because he could hardly win the score cards. I ...

burton

hey sc, r u watching this at the comfort of ur house? or u know any nice place to hangout and watch this match? I'm sure there will be at least three Filipino bars showing the fight live. In the past, they have shown Pacquiao fights at Regent Palace, President, Ratsky etc... One place which will de...

burton

I quite like 'Tia Marias'. The band suck but the actual place is a bit more chilled out than some of the other clubs... I was there about two months ago for the Boom-Boom fight - just me and the two managers at 4 in the morning, not another soul in sight! Oh well, perhaps we'll bump into each other ...

burton

Hmm... I just remember Barrera getting more and more worn out, just gradually falling apart at the seams...and then, becoming more and more disillusioned and petulant - lots of pleading looks/calls to the ref etc.. That's probably the main aspect of his character that I don't like - when his plan is...

Hey dudes, Ill be going to manila in the next couple of days for a Paintball Tournament. Any heads up, Dos and Dont of the city? Thanks Bleakus Nice one Bleakus. Have a good time but be careful, you might get more than you bargained for. In my experience, Filipinos seem pretty gun crazy! Who knows ...

burton

Heh, I have tried balut and I actually like them very much,
wings, feathers, beak and all!

To be honest, I am one of those people who eats everything - and I mean, everything. Street food is one of the things I live for, when I go on holiday...
