Have not been on this board in a while, having shifted my energy to another Dubai Forum. Just been browsing the past few days, and holy cow! Seems like troll-central of late. What the hell rocks are these people crawling out of? I feel bad for newbies tuning in for the first time. Seems like a prost...
It wasn't a slag, arnie. Just a comment. haven't been here in months. I know that forums go in cycles. Actually, the "dark side" forum is more than four folks. I have to say that it is a smaller community than here, for sure. As you know, the other forum is not listed in google rankings, e...
Perhaps you are right, but all that was before my time on DF. Kinda seems like farting in the wind all these months later, don't you think? "dark side forum" still makes me laugh, though. Does that mean that Concord is the Emperor? Is Ian Darth Vader? Or other way around?
I guarantee the charity portion was not forgotten, just building up the coffers till there is enough "to do something with". My initial post was just an observation, guys, having not posted/visited for ages. If you re-read, it was actually complimentary to the old guard.
Its sad a split occurred in the first place. I don't think there was a "split". Just some folks made choices, I guess. At the time that DHH was set up, DF was deadsville, except for in-fighting. There were a few rules and things that slipped after DHH's inception. One of which was the lan...
Kanelli, you make good points. Absolutely, the charity aspect needs a kick-start, but regardless of what the lads say, I have it on good account that whatever funds are raised by DHH will definitely go to charity. As far as charity, organizations, etc. I know of a couple of instances where folks on ...
To be fair, Arnie, Ian did shelf his diet challenge and was big enough to say so rather than just ditch the topic all together. I am not sure what the total amount in the coffers is. When the concept was conceived, no one really knew how much "revenue" would be generated. Turns out, it is ...
Wow, I had no idea that there was so much animosity between some of the parties. I certainly missed a lot over those months! I never had high expectations about the charity contributions because of the nature of how the money was to be raised. I would be criticizing if I saw a lot of money being ma...
I think it was directed at everyone except you K Arnie is right, K. Not directed at you at all. I think Arnie and I need a F2F. My OP is waaaayyy outta context at this point. I think time to retire this thread! Sagey, I owe you something I want to repay. Arnie, chill out mate. See you at Sage's pla...

Slaving, homeless? I think not! Most of us are taking you for everything you've got! Your a#s is ours, not the other way around boyo! Well said Chocs. If UAEkid is really local, I would suggest you have a look around. We are here for a reason...because you need us. I think it is printed on the resi...
Alhamdulillah brother, it's all well and good to relieve Emirate of traitors like Chocoholic, but the best thing is to employ people from brotherly countries. Having a single source country for employing labourers is a hazardous route as political, social or other problems may mean UAE will be held...
You sound a little angry. That's because I can't make any sense out of it. There is no Western or Asian (non middle eastern) city that is booming as much as Dubai. The UAE is a unique country. It is the story of the rise of a global powerhouse in the world of business, trade and investments. Why do...
The newspapers are riddled with stories about how Dubai is failing. PERSONAL indications for me are the following: Car for sale thousands cheaper than any other like it...no calls SUV for sale 15,000 cheaper than others advertised...no calls Villa for rent 40,000 cheaper than other advertised...no c...
Actually, Arnie, barsha is a monster area from SZR to Al KHail then from Umm Suqueim to the 316 RD. Some palatial estates there, man. Don't be so quick to slag. (the buildings behind MOE are poop holes) There are a few snazzy joints farther away from MOE.
Yeah, you don't have to be a rocket scientist, that's for sure! Just trying to add a bit of humour to some lousy times. if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? Thanks for the sticky, Arnie, glad you found it funny. Just hope ol' Sagey thinks the same. ( I am a nay-sayer, after all). I p...
Robby , Had a look at that. Very interesting , professional looking. Looked into some fascinating blue things around the edges, with facts on gold , investment, banks etc. I see you are really interested in gold prices. If you put "dubai gold souk" into Google UK, you'll find http://www.v...
I can vouch for her. Bushra is a saint. On the two most recent social occasions that I have seen her, she hit the water, that's it. I think most religions teach tolerance, BTW. I am a Jesus freak, so we have unlimited get-out-of-jail-free cards. BTW, Bushra, thanks for putting up with the drunken hi...
I agree, total BS. I have named and shamed in my blog. Hope the jerk rots. Seems links to the story are disappearing here in the UAE. His pic and some video are found here: http://dubairealitycheck.blogspot.com This is not shameless self-promotion, I have no ads or revenue stream ( FYI mods). Just t...
Sorry, but the video is pretty compelling. Regardless of whether or not ANYONE shagged ANYONE, a family should not be torn apart. The kids will be hooped for life, as will mum. Bad news any way you slice it.
Been lots happening of late with most users. Myself, have not posted in months due to no time really. I'll let Dr.D know tomorrow. It's funny, but proof how much people mess around at work. As soon as people started losing jobs, the posting dropped off. As a sidebar, Sagey...we're not neighbours any...
Oh, and it does not take months. I filed a case...mediation 5 days later, second visit to MoL where I demanded court was 3 days. Court case was assigned within 2 weeks. Court here is a game of wits. It costs the employee NOTHING, but the employer must pay all fees win or lose. As someone who has bee...
We have a 24' Gulfcraft ski/wakeboard boat that we have used 3X in 2 years. You can have it. Only catch......it is moored in Abu Dhabi. (It is easier to take it out from AUH than Dubai TTYTT). Going cheap Chocs...you could start your own club.
