Hello everybody - have introduced myself in the new members thread but kinda think that nobody really bothers to read that so have chosen this to say hi to you all. I have been following you all now for a couple of years and decided that I really should stop being a cyber stalker and get myself a vo...

patience

Thanks Bora nice to finally talk to you. I thought my username to be most appropriate!!! With regard to the topic at hand I would like to say that when I was in Dubai I had two teenage daughters and I think that BM is sensible with the no getting in a car with local boys (the poor French boy comes t...

patience

Thanks DK Sounds genuinely sad when you put it like that!!! I have read with interest the Choc wars the Robbie Saga the Speedhump era. Was all extremely entertaining!!! Have a few things to tell myself re Dubai and their treatment of people but don't want to jump in all guns blazing. As my username ...

patience

Wow can see this degenerating into another row. There really is no need for it. I am sure BM has taken everybody's warnings in the spirit in which they were meant. So job done. There is no need for us to go on it is none of our business and nobody takes kindly to criticism of their parenting. Having...

patience

Yes agree. Personally I wouldn't entertain any local boys in the house and my girls knew this. Rather be accused of being racist than go through the nightmare that Dubai can become. But one thing I have learned is that you can offer advice but it is up to everyone if they decide to take it or not.

Anyone care to open a new thread titled "My wasta is better than yours"

You've just got to love those comments from the witness about the line-up. One black, one fat and one short!!!!

patience

You know what I think I've heard that story - maybe it happens all the time.

patience

And there was I thinking I'd start another thread so as to avoid the current row going on in the 'Why is Everybody called Mohammed' thread. How come everybody is at war in this forum. What is it that causes people to get so irate? DK you are right in a lot of ways it is very different living out the...

patience

Why would either of you want to decry the other. Surely as women it is more important that in this day and age we have a right to choose (and yes I know that some are not afforded a choice) but as women surely we can see the merits in both. And from a personal point of view it is also dependent on t...

patience

Being a stay at home mother is not a sacrifice. What you lose on one side you gain on another. And vice versa. It is a choice and one that is admirable, but does this mean that the woman who goes to work is not as virtuous after all she too is having to choose. It is what it is. Unfortunately for us...

Sounds nice Dillon.

In the spirit of the 'new' peaceful forum.

Dillon Sorry to hear you are feeling miserable. You will stay away from the Burj wont you???? :lol:-- Wed May 11, 2011 7:35 pm --At least if they are saying he fell his family will be entitled to some compensation. I am presuming here that he was working for Arabtec at the time. So correct me if I a...

patience

OK So let me try and understand this then. The Indian worker jumped or fell from the Burj. He left his notebook behind and removed his shoes. While you can argue that leaving his notebook was a suicide note. Why did he remove his shoes? Other reports are saying he needed to get to a vent and this wa...

patience

I don't think anyone is saying that these people took this money with no intention of repayment, but it is how the law deals with people who get into financial trouble. Jailing somebody who is having trouble making their repayments makes no sense. You then take away their means of earning money. Als...

patience

OOh you beat me to it. I was just about to ask you to show me again as I missed it first time around.

Anyway he's gone home now. But the question is will he keep his court appointment on June 20th!!!!!

patience

When I was in Dubai a gentleman in traditional garb flipped me the bird because I wouldn't let him bully me into cutting in. I caught his gesture in the rear view mirror. I was not particularly insulted, but just chuckled to myself. Obviously I didn't report it as I knew enough to know it would be m...

patience

not really no. They are talking about points on your license. I have always believed if you broke the rules of the road you received black points. So I guess the opposite of that ie good driving would be white points. There you are Drew all explained. Racism does not come into it.

patience

I really don't know. Its just a name of a colour. Could be moon points versus sun points for all I care. I honestly can't take responsibility for naming of colours. I know what you are saying but I don't think that people should get offended about the colour of things it really is just ridiculous an...

patience

Calm down Dillon I was just trying to point out that the more we make an issue of race the more it becomes one. Personally I liked the golly on the Robinsons jar in fact my brother had a toy one. Although at the age we were we didn"t associate it with black people. And good luck trying to play ...

patience

Sorry meant Drew. Wasnt really concentrating. But you know what I mean.

patience

So who has more than one name??????

Second thoughts don't answer that I will be even more confused. Time to join BM for a glass

patience

Well surprise surprise - nobody gets to see the CCTV footage, I was looking at Lee Browns site the other day and noticed a post from his family that says that the coroner here has also requested the CCTV footage from the Burj, but guess what they're not sending it because it's too grainy. It really ...

patience

I don't know about the descriptions Drew, but you are a bit of a stirrer

patience

Ok the story of the Brit who allegedly insulted the prophet Mohammed?? Well don't really know or have an opinion either way until I read that he was an expat living in Qatar. Now I think probably not. Nobody who lives in the region would be so stupid. I wonder how much the employee asked for, for th...

patience

LOL No offense taken I am busy making too much money from my crack den to worry about Drew's comments. I just thought that by answering the question would start a bit of a war. I think the answer is pretty obvious anyway. By the way Drew I thought I did apologise for getting your name wrong but if n...

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3585857/Terror-prophet-Brit-faces-prison Sorry was in your local papers too. Thought most would have read it and am never sure about cutting and pasting links (am bit of a cyber retard). It doesn't say that the employee tried to extort money, that was just m...
