...as it is the beginning of a new month and thought I forgot a deposit. Lo and behold, my personal loan is paid off! I just stopped keeping track ages ago and made sure the cash was there, but checked online tonight and there was a token withdrawal which I thought was a mistake. Nope, the last few ...

I have just had a txt of my little Emirati mate, funnily enough, saying 'we have National Day'. I replied saying 'I know, keep the bloody noise down'. He has yet to txt me back LOL

Thanks for that! Tell him to buckle up when he is driving on 2 wheels on SZR!

Most. Bizarre. Thread. Ever.

I might take my pants for a walk and get some video and youtube that shizza. These guys are total tards, revving up a Patrol (souped up) so it backfires and flames shoot out. Kinda cool (in a high school way) the first time, but still? Yes, the traffic has not moved in an hour super-patrol-desert-do...

Thanks, BM, it is a good feeling.

We will have to agree to disagree, after all, me and you seem to have something in common in that we are the most unpopular members of DF. :D At least you guys have an opinion, which you are entitled to. Adds some spice to the place. Nothing wrong with debating the issues and being outspoken. When ...

So not you in the flame-throwing Patrol then kid? Point in your favour.

I don't watch football, but appreciate how important it is for a nation to host. I think both were chosen because they have the money and resources. Another key thing in FIFA's decision-making was that the World Cup has never been hosted by an Eastern European Nation, nor an Arab/Muslim country. I a...

Dubai-Toronto=13 hours
Dubai-LA=19 hours
Dubai-Vancouver=13+6 hours.

Thought about heading home with my new windfall, but for a week, not worth it when you factor in a 12 hour time diff as well. Might take Mrs. DD somewhere nice for the weekend or something.

You should try making Bloody Mary's with V8 vegetable juice. Add loads of tabasco and Worcester Sauce and a little celery salt. I call it a 'Bloody Great V8' and it certainly has some vroooom! 8) 8) 8) Knight This is exactly the beverage I was referring to when I said veggie juice. Didn't think any...

If I take Zub's advice will I not see Kanelli's cute little Yoda? I can't have that.

DD2.....coffee, yallah! Your sig hurts me. I have the finest Canadian blend at home...Tim Hortons..you can't go wrong. Lose the sig, get the brew, bro.

I've had it for about 5 days, so has Mrs. DD. Guess that rules out man-flu.

As DD2 mentioned, I do this kind of stuff for a living. I was just down this road a month or so with a client. Suspected staff stealing, secret cameras, etc. I can tell you for sure: #1 You need approval for CCTV (hidden or not) in any business #2 Installer must be Police approved I advised my clien...

I'll trade ya! Take my place in JBR, and me and the Mrs. will go frolick in the snow. I need some cold and the boss would like some 1-on-1 with the animals. We'll rent a car though, seems yours don't work so well. Not too keen on DDS being there, he can stay in the barn with the other exotics.

These are funny. My phone auto-corrects something for me (well not anymore) and the auto correct had my phrase displayed as "dublin aunts". I was VERY angry when I sent that text.

Another annoying thing about the iPhone is that it always auto corrects "me" to "mr".

Hey TJ. There is a new one opening in Festival Center attached to one of the hotels. It is supposed to be bigger and badder than before and will be licensed once again. It was supposed to open after Ramadan, but delay, delay, delay. I know the band that is opening the place and they are still in Bei...

Chocs, you cannot even see who it is. For a million bucks I could not even guess an age. I think you need to relax a bit.

Actually, he is in NYC. Was on SNL last night.

He's had that offer for years. There was paranormal activity at my house last weekend....I was working long hours outside the house (drinking binge) when I woke up at noon Friday, the house was clean and the laundry started! The only one home was Mrs. DD so I am still wondering how the place got cle...

Happy Birthday, BM! You should have received your present by now, if not should be there tomorrow.

There is a member here named Herve who is well-versed in taking boats to India. Just do a search here and follow his lead!

I have a penis. And I will go with indigo as it is a fun colour when I am lighting rock concerts.

You minx! This thread is to help a child! Bad BM!

It called for gender identity as a pre-requisite. It was the best way I knew/

I always thought he was a good, humble guy. Last we met, I was able to joke with him that I blamed his kind advice and encouragement for me moving here! He knew his last round of chemo was going to be brutal, but wanted to do it anyways, even if just for science and research purposes for future pati...

Cheers, DK. Mrs. Arnie is a great lady and I enjoyed out extended chats.

The mourning period post I mean. With Choc's last post and (I am guessing a deletion of BM's post) it makes no sense. Can we just delete it? And while we are at it, can we get rid of the other lame post in FC regarding Arnie's demise? (If it has not been already removed). I know Paul left it there f...

I should mention I saw some old guard forumers tonight and spread the news. The likes of Fayz and a few others....they send their condolences.

Well done. Thanks guys.

So the past week has been full of weirdness for me. I have been here over three years and never seen anything like this. I think there is certainly something going on: Flag #1 Went to put 5k AED cash in my brother's bank account at a certain standard bank that is surely chartered. I needed to presen...
