Booze and eating out. I don't even know if the oven works here.

dubaidog

I am new to this thread but will chime in. DD is working USA hours, so not finished for an hour yet. All in all a good day/week. If all goes to plan, DD will be able to leave Dubai and not worry about work for a while. The boat show was a success and I have a few proposals out there. Funny when you ...

Ok, so can you believe it? My local "fixer" who guided me through my court case wants more money! I submitted my final payment to him ages ago, and it now seems he needs "feel better" money. I have not been threatened but have been told "this is a problem that will not go aw...

Myself and the Mrs have just spent a great deal of time and money getting our flat back to mint condition before we move out. We get home tonight and the lounge reeks of onions and cigars and the bedroom reeks of sewage and dirty drain. We have not had the A/C on since we moved in here, and the phan...

For some reason, my response to Bora never posted. It seems about 20 people moved in 2 doors down, so that might be it. The smells have been on and off, but getting worse by the day. The onions and sewer are the worst! It really comes and goes by the hour. Sometimes, it smells like someone dropped a...

You should see the piles of sand they dump in the hallway as well! There are new animals that leave their trash in the hall as well. I guess it is too much trouble to walk 20 feet and put it down the chute. It is lame, as all the bags easily fit down the chute. You might not have the same issue, BM,...

Sadly,BM, they canceled my jump due to wind! I am re-booked monday now. We are looking forward to getting to Australia, indeed. Our 3 week stint in Africa will be a hoot...visiting Botswana, Victoria Falls, Harare, Johannesburg and Cape Town. When we arrive in Aus, we will have 2 days to get sorted ...

dubaidog

Good input, Sagey...you would know! As I mentioned, it comes and goes.....right now, no issues. To be honest it is not "that" bad..just something I am not used to. After seeing the people pile in next door, I have to wonder though. BM, I would make sure that Chocs is clear of the house bef...

dubaidog

I think I figured it out! The flat next to me was vacant the whole time I have lived here, and noticed people moving in the other day. That, coupled with the fact that this place has a negative airflow, it sucks all the smells from the hallway. (It smells like popcorn in my kitchen and bedroom right...

Well, it is a sailboat in the canals around the Coast, so the odds are pretty good you wold get a nibble! Bull sharks ahoy1

Oh....and the bl00dy onion smell is back!

dubaidog

I have been looking for quite awhile. It is scary how cheap they are. I would like something around 30+ feet with a cabin for little weekends away. Skiing behind a sailboat? I want my board back!

No fighting on my thread you two.

dubaidog

Frankly, Dillon, it was not a "tenant's internet forum rant". I have never lived in a flat before, and I know there are a few posters on here that have interests in JBR, hence the post. My worst fear living in a flat was that the halls, etc would have gross cooking smells in them, and fort...

dubaidog

Was this level of dismay regarding mine or Dillon's remarks?

dubaidog

Tomorrow for me and the Mrs. is a pound of thick cut bacon and a pot of black coffee. We might have a bit of toast and flap up an omelette between us smothered in cheese! We are not breakkie folk, but go big or go home!

dubaidog

Whoa! I missed a whole page on this thread. No prob, Dillon, we are cool. I have put a few gags on the forum, such as "not getting my speakers through the door", etc. They were all meant to be inside gags between BM and myself. BM left the cat outta the bag! As mentioned to BM, in private,...

dubaidog

Thanks a million! I'll still stop by, and I am pretty certain I will be back for work in the coming months.

...and is not a happy camper! After hiring a car to get from DXB to AUH to fly Qatar Airways for a strategically planned midnight flight so that we would arrive in Joburg at 8:30 am. Guess what? I am back in DXB..14 hours after leaving! After enduring the AUH airport, getting to Doha, the asshats at...

dubaidog

Jambo all. Just wanted to pipe in quickly as this is my first visit since leaving DXB. 1. BM's flat is tastefully decorated and was a great place to call home. 2. Why am I the only one to have kept the whole BM/DD arrangement secret? Not that I care, but it really was BM's and DD's business, Chocs. ...

HI fellow Duffers. After a killer trip touring a few countries in Africa, the Mrs. and I are off to the Gold Coast of Australia in the afternoon tomorrow. I'll give you guys the lowdown when we are settled, just checking in to say hi before we split. We have a tidy little 3 bedroom shack with a pool...

I can expand a bit more later on...but here's the deal: Mrs. DD and myself have inherited a lovely home here in Australia, but the deal is, in order to deck it out with our furnishings and household goods, we must first get rid of the contents that are already there. Think of an estate, where all th...

dubaidog

It is kind of strange in the "real world" now. None of the charities will pick up the goods anymore! Obviously, I could do as Dillon said and hire a skip, but it just seems wasteful. I ended up posting in a flood relief forum that the contents were available for free. I was a little surpri...

Or leave it on the curb and put a sign saying do not steal !

Thanks, DDS. From experience, Ebaying furniture does not work that well....neither will leaving it on the curb in this neighbourhood.

Thanks, man. I am getting in touch with the 1800 junk people now. EXACTLY what I needed. They will recycle and donate as necessary as well, so perfect!

dubaidog

I have to agree with Ambassador! EK flights are crazy expensive now, as are Etihad. 2 years ago DXB-Brisbane was AED 3200, last year it was AED 6400, 2 months ago it was AED 5700. Today...AED 9000! AND they claim massive price cuts due to dropping the fuel surcharge! (as per yesterday's Gulf News)

dubaidog

Where are you getting 9,000 Dhs from? I'm looking at booking DXB-BNE-DXB for August and it's 7,000 Dhs! Even so it's a huge rise in costs, even though they've dumped the fuel surcharge. Ok, the price dropped by AUD 200 since yesterday, but it is still AED 8000 from here. Perhaps different pricing f...

I read the story in 7days. Just...wow. Thank XXX I don't need to worry about that kinda cap anymore.

In my contact lens, goatee, spiked hair days, I got Kiefer Sutherland a lot. Not so much now.
