Hey guys ! I don't know Dubai very well at all, so would like to enlist your collective advice. I'm looking for the ideal location for a wedding ! We've booked with Christchurch in Jebel Ali, but have yet to come up with a good place to have wedding photos, then a reception and finally a good hotel ...

Nice 1, guys ! Thanks for the advice ! Liked the comments about the invites, too. We geese are a shy breed, so while I get to know y'all, I'll put the invites under "pending", ok ? The August date is immoveable, I'm afraid [took us long enough to sort that date out ! :roll: ] I know it's g...

Interesting one, this. I'm sure it's known as "inferred authority". Basically, where a non-descript middle manager somewher else in the world becomes an expat and suddenly thinks that his [and of course, his darling spouse] status has elevated.

Muppets !!!

g00se

My theory is that the days of these muppets are numbered. The vast majority of muslims are law-abiding, peaceful and religious adherents to the tenets of the quran. Extremists are ALWAYS ousted by the people eventually. Sanity WILL prevail and history will judge these abusers of power in the name of...

Me and TCCKAMG [The-Chick-Currently-Known-As-Mrs-Goose] are gonna be staying in Jumeirah in a few weeks and I was wondering if your collective advice would extend as far as recommending a decent place to go dancin 'n' drinking into the late hours ?

Any advice guys ?

g00se

Gotta agree with some of the comments here. Whether you like to admit it, or not, the playing field aint level. In my experience here, locals expect to be given instant respect without having earned it. The whole "arrogance" thing. They expect to have no responsibility and all the authorit...

OF COURSE !

I do believe this is common here. The whole promise-the-earth-and-deliver-fk-all is VERY common here ! Maybe the recruiters themselves did not know, but I have found these international recruiters to be typical of the recruiter types.

Not good.

g00se

Great idea ! I'll start - Al Q***a.
Absolutely terrible at man management and professional treatment of employees.

Despite their huge millions, they can't even authorise salary payments on time. How pathetic is that ?

g00se

At the end of the day, I have no problem at all with massive salaries AS LONG AS THE PERSON CAN DO THE DAMN job ! Sitting around, drinking tea, smoking endless fags, playing tetris, texting mates and being as lazy as possible is NOT professional in ANY culture !! In my experience here, local secreta...

Flapped around at colleague's leaving do till very late Thursday. Far far too many Amber Nectars and ended up [so TCCKAMG told next morning] snoring on the floor ! Felt surprisingly fluffy nexy day, so chilled on the beach till the heat scorched me feathers and retreated to the pool on the roof. Dec...

GTmash -
Geez. I certainly wasn't drunk at half 10 in the morning ! [although the way some muppet cut me up on the way to work this morning - i bet HE was !!]

What didn't u get ? Metaphors too complicated ?

g00se

^ sense of humour failure

I thought it was funny. You know. The way it was meant to be taken.

*sigh*

g00se

Gtmash - Totally agree with you. The whole point of marketting guys is to sell you stuff that you don't necessarily need. From what I have experienced of hotels around the world [and esp in DB] five star is understood by most. Anything above is really just icing on the cake [and an excuse to charge ...

g00se

Still no-one's answered my question tho............

g00se

Badoo - Totally agree with your last point about expats "behaving" in the country of their residence. However [and it is a huge however], what many of this fair land fail to appreciate is that their collective wealth has fk all to do with their abilities and EVERYTHING to do with the help ...

g00se

It's certainly gonna be interesting to see Tevez finally at OT. I'll be really curious to see how he gets on with ol' Shrek up front. But [and it is a BIG but] midfield is still woeful at times [still think Heinze needs to be taken around back and given a damn good kickin] and poor old Korean fella ...

g00se

FF - hehehe Of course no-one goes anywhere out of the goodness of the heart [except perhaps Mother Teresa and voluntary workers..... oh and Save The children. and....... oh you get the idea]. But equally, many have the choice of whre to work in teh world. And part of the allure of being here is help...

g00se

Notice that the Chelski mob are oh-so quiet after their 3 nil drubbing ! Fat Frank was woeful. Again. Shrek was disappointing and irritating as hell when he does the whole thug-arguing-with-the-Bloke-In-Black thing. Grrrr. VanDerSaar. Maybe this'll be his season ? [but does anyone else think he soun...

Debt is all about education. All over the world, these loan companies pray on mis-guided, or ill-educated peeps who have spiralled out of contrl into the debt abyss. I ithnk you're right. Banks DO have an obligation to run suitable checks on people before they hand out barrels of cash. Not sure what...

g00se

St. Luc - "tired and out of ideas" ??? That'll be from the 179 shots on goal, then ? :wink: Have you seen Tevez play? I have to admit, I've not seen the little fella, yet, but I am looking forward to him 'n' Shrek up front. I also liked the news this w/e that Ron[aldo] has a bet with Fergi...

g00se

GTM - REALLY ???? :shock: :shock: :shock: Geeez ! I AM shocked ! I thought these high street names would be even MORE protective of their reputations around the globe ? Although, having thought about it, my experiences here in AD and DB have been pretty tame compared to some of the banking horror st...

So. The club with the most friendliest girls in the whole world

Wot's all that about ? Someone connected get a dose ? hehehehehe

SAF a rapist ????? He's a bit long in the tooth, aint he ?

hehehe
Not checked.

Just heard it from a little bird...............

I suppose it was my Audi Quatro back in early 90's. Red, with black leather seats. Total p*ssy magnet hehehehehe ! I could wheel spin the thing at 80mph !! Not good for the pocket, but great for the ego. More recently, I was lucky enough to have an Masda MX3. Much more understaed sports car and [I t...

Again, if you read the email he sent her, it is clear that she is NOT peforming to the required standards. Uni aint just about partying - it's about gaining an education. He tells her that she hadn't attended lectures, but it's unclear if that's a result of her dad's illness or what. Either way, I t...

g00se

DeeDee - Interesting point and one I hadn't thought of. But, yeah, if her dad had popped his clogs, surely she would have gone back straight away ? Doesn't really give credence to her case, does it ? When I was at Uni [back in the Dark Ages hehehehe] the internatinoal students were exactly the oppos...

I think you're quite right about the Rusky influence. But it's not the only one. My well-connected [don't ask !] Chinbky friend tells me that there's deals going on behind the scenes to increase the "take" to both Chinky and Rusky mafias [p1mps. let's be honest here] and the local Cops or ...
