Why ?
1. It's the oldest profession in the world
2. It's controlled through various mafia groups that give MASSIVE kick-backs to the Dubai Authorities
3. It provides work [albeit not very nice]
4. There is a huge demand

And pu-leeez don't ramble on about morality. In this country ? HA !

EG -
I'm sure they have it in your local supermarket, but the very best cure I've found is RESOLVE ! [plus a few more hours kip]

It really does the job.

And no. I haven't been sponsored by them [although, not a bad idea now I think about it.....]

OK. Sorry.

So where th hell does the thread title come from ???? Waste of time. Muppet.

Righto. I obviously would love the iphone, but that's not gonna happen here in UAE :wink: I used to be a Nokia man [fairly straight forward, logical menus, compatible with most other devices, market leader, proven technology, etcetc], but the last couple of years, I've had a Sony Ericsson. More styl...

Not been to Dubai for a while now, so can't personally verify. However, just passin' on my information from mates that live up there.

Curiosity sated ?

Avkurian - Excellent and accurate post. Nice 1 ! Zooter - Also having similar experiences to The Oracle above [ :wink: ] I would also add that expats who firts come to Dubai, love it and dislike AD. And vice versa. It really depends on what you're looking for in your lifestyle. Another issue to reme...

What a beautiful eulogy. Not sure what the figures are here, but certainly in UK cancer strikes 1in THREE women. That's obscene. I know billions are spent all over the world on the possible remedy for this disease. But having your partner die at 36 is soul destroying. My heart goes out to the guy an...

It's actually a well-known fact [amongst the dieticians and occupational health peeps] that in general people partaking of the ramadan fasting tend to put ON weight. It's all about metabolism [I think Choco explained it better than me]. Again. I love the idea that a religious festival can be used as...

Rugby, that is. Anyone been watching ? Saw the Springboks take apart the little Samoans. Gawd ! The SA's were really bordering on the dirty, rather than just "physical". IT was amusing to see the Froggy crowd get right behind the underdogs too :lol: ! Didn't see the Kiwis, but by all accou...

Let's face it. Would you really buy ANYTHING off a taxi driver ?

Robbed or lost category, me thinks.........

g00se

:D So I've started watching Lost. Not sure if it's halfway through or what, but the title is well apt ! I am completely lost on the whole plot going on ! So is it just me, or does this series leave anyone else baffled ? Or is it one of those series that you have to watch all the way through to the e...

g00se

Didn't realise there were more than one series !!! No wonder I'm confused !

Good idea to buy th box set and sit in one w/e. Esp as it's getting rather nippy these days

Guys -
I don't know Dubai very well at all. Can you recommend any decent hotels for a couple of nights so I can watch this years 7's ?

Hopefully, I won't need my wellies like last year.............

g00se

Sorry, guys, but whatever the Laws here, there's GOT to be a sensible course of action on this ! Prosecution for using the word b u m is just plain daft. ESPECAILLY when you consider some of the awful stuff that is going on in Dubai at the moment - murders, rapings, extortion, drugs etcetc. Surely T...

I want 8 for the full w/e.

Any sellers ?

I was told last week of a guy who had rudely insulted a local driver with the phrase "towel-headed idiot". When the Cops were called [as the local guy was quite rightly furious with the insult] it was changed to "two-legged idiot" ! My mate was stood by watching the whole inciden...

Every year these or similar tales are trotted out. They do make me laugh, but I'm not sure as to their actual validity. The one that always makes me grin is the one about the guy who attached 4 helium weather balloons to a garden chair anchored to the ground in his garden. He then cut the attaching ...

So.
War on the traffickers, huh ? [according to the headlines this morning] Is that because not-enough-kick-backs, too-many-to-choose-today, my-mate-got-a-dose or wot ?

I was given a tip yesterday [by a guy who's been here for 20yrs]. If anyone fks with him - tailgating, one fingered salute etc - he jumps out, doesn't even look at them and takes a photo of their number plate. To date, I'm unsure if he's actually reported any of these to the Cops, but his photo gall...

g00se

I heard someone being shouted at today. He was called a "ball-bag" !!!

I couldn't stop laughing for ages..........*sigh* small things, huh ?

g00se

Having been an expat for a while, I do find it funny whenever I return temporarily to UK and deliberately not queue.

Howls of silent objection !

Oh how the Brits LOVE to queue......

Justin concert. In The Capital. Big coup there, me thinks. Was pretty apprehensive before the gig. I've been to a couple here in Ad and the organisation has been p155-poor. However, after a quick chat to one of the traffic minders, who told me it was an outside company who were doing all the marshal...

g00se

Sorry guys, this is NOt the way to go. Traffic laws here are waaaaay too lax and ignored. Why ? Coz so many of you think they apply to this mythical "someone else". Just basic stuff like indication, mobile phone usage, SEAT BELTS [for fux sake !!]. Nevermind some of the posts on this very ...

I thought we weren't doing flaming.

Watched Bburn WHam last night. Unbelieveable misses and some real pressure on Sparkey now to get some points in the bag.

Next Sunday should be a cracker.

Cmon, Champions !

g00se

Sorry, fellas. Anyone who can score a shedful of goals in the Prem is up there. Whether or not you like him for the arrogance, or the bl00dy Riverdances around the ball, he's got speed, agility, strength and a good overall vision of the game. That's why he's won the awards he has. And don't go berat...
