I hoep he is executed. However, if the childs family wanted blood money, would he be released? I am asking based on the recent case where 3 people who burned a man to death were released after 1 year in jail because the victims family accepted blood money. Blood money only saves you from the execut...

What was the sentence given to the scumbag that ran a tourist over in him Hummer, and then reversed back over her?

I like the look of it. Very Iconic etc. But is it functional? The safety aspect is a good question.
I personally would not like to live there, but then I am not turned on by ostentatious status symbols

What is the secret to getting in there?

I PM'd the relevant people etc and still no access.
Have I been "black balled"?

smoggie

That's probably another thread gone. You can't be abusive to the mods

smoggie

I think there are a number of people waiting to get in, myself included. I also emailed Andy Ba at his personal email address but no response so far. You would have thought that all of the site's mods could give access, which either means that they're too busy or too lazy. The words "too busy&...

Bora is right....A shameful episode especially with some of the trivial things that get people imprisoned in this country!

But I will say again: Not surprising.

If you think about the publicity that the "Sex on the beach" case got and the defendants actually spent time in prison, I believe. This guy gets away with this sort of brutality and there is little more than a media whimper!!! Puts things in perspective really! I hope the US and UK never g...

Arnie: We know the rules and what is required to get into fight club. A few of us are simply wondering why when we initiate or contribute to a thread, when it is pulled on a whim, we no longer have access to it. It is very frustrating because, let's face it, a lot of threads are moved. A few of us h...

For crossing the road.
Fair enough was not at a pedestrian crossing. Me and another British guy got pulled up and told it was an offence. That was news to me!
Interesting thing was that he said that the rule only applies to residents and if we had been tourists we would have been ok.

Unbelievable!

unbelievable...But then they need the cash!!! I don't mind paying up If I have broken the law but when you see kids on dashboards, locals reading newspapers while driving (honestly), blacked out windscreens with only a mobile phone glow inside....There is something desperately wrong. Fair enough...W...

without a doubt things are getting worse in Dubai.
Get out of there double quick!

It is not surprising! This stuff happens all of the time. WQe all know who the idiots are and who is at fault, The problem is that in the PC climate we are not allowed to say it out loud!!

Was almost wiped out by a bus this morning in Deira. He was on-coming and decided he was going to turn the corner in front of me. Guess what: He was on the phone!!! I wound down the window and screamed at the m*****F*****....He just looked at me as though I was in the wrong! This place needs a bit o...

Rude boy is just a wind up merchant and not to be taken seriously. As for the police arresting the drivers: I would be amazed if they serve ANY time whatsoever and these people will be back on the road in no time. IMO, The police are simply trying to look tough in the light of the worldwide disgust ...

I guess they only had 4 years to prepare.

England never start well in competitions. I do think they will still finish top of the group so all is not lost.
Robert Green's spill was unfortunate (At least the USA approve of one spill

) but remember: "The man who never made a mistake, never made anything".

Come on England!!

Ha! The whole "We will hunt the individuals down" was very melodramatic! Do Al Jaz really think people buy into this BS? As chocs said: They only had 4 years to prepare for it!
