If only that were true

I don't like HP being serious - he comes across as far less intelligent than the funny HP, his alter-ego!
Maybe its actually 2 different people?? Hmmm

I know many of you are following my plight,(okay maybe not) the ones that were flown in were wrong. My brother bought the metal ones. I’m counting on you Arnie, a bottle of Shiraz for a pack of scouring pads. Deal? I just remembered the above statement - scores of pages ago! I suppose you owe cases...

Me thinks that Gordon may be a useful person to know in Dubai!!

What is it you have to have notorised?? Degree certificates etc?? (excuse my ignorance!)

Gordon - why weren't you at the DF meet in June??

Good luck!!

Try not to get too relaxed in the caribbean!!

The slowness of it all gets you down actually. I'm the sort of person who likes to make a decision and then get on with it. It might take me a while to decide, but once I have its all systems go!!

Nothing has been happening on here - its been so boring!!!
Plus I've been busy with various things. Nice to know I was missed by someone!!

mate you are DFM...we dont have ta proclaim it...your presence will always be appreciated...now ZOOT off :P Awww thanks!! But things have still been quiet round here recently - nothing to contribute to really - no bandwagons to jump on!! Hope everyone is well and enjoying their summer holidays!!

Did someone mention playing golf?!?

Don't suppose you took any sick days to watch the Aussies getting hammered by us in last years Ashes did you?? Might as well have gone to work!!

XRW-147 wrote:Both sides would have needed sick days:

- The Aussie crowd to get over the shell shock.

- The brit crowd to celebrate the miracle.

I'm sure the "miracle" won't be repeated this winter!!

I'm guessing airport stopovers don't count? And do you count England, ireland, Sotland, Wales separately? Anyway I miscounted, if I went by countries I'd be 20 years old - got a bit of catching up to do. England/Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland would count as one country, in my opinion. Southern Ire...

it all makes sence now

I'd like to point out that I'm below your average!!

First time I've ever been pleased at being "below average" !!!

Does this mean its your birthday soon?? Or are you officially knocking a country off your visited list?!?

scotland of course it counts :P Ok, I have to say that if Scotland counts as a country, then so would each of the Emirates would count as a country! You just can't count Scotland as seperate!! But here's a question. Would you count Gibraltar as a seperate country?? (for those who don't know, Gibral...

Oh no - please tell me you aren't in the UK now!!!

Arrggghhhhh!!!

I think we should apply the rule if it has a cricket or a Rugby team, then it should count as a country. Scotland almost has a cricket team, and they do have a rugby team. Ok, but then the UAE only counts as 1 country. Gibraltar has a cricket team (and is a member of the ICC). I've just gone up by ...

Chocs - don't go!
It won't be the same round here anymore

We should start a campaign up - "come back Chocs"
It worked with XRW !!

Bonspiel???

Surely all these "obstacles" make for a more adventurous journey??

Just adding that little bit of excitement that the Dubai govenrment obviously feel is missing in people's lives

How many years was he supposed to have had?? He had actually been sentenced, right?? (sorry if its in the artice - but it won't open for some reason!).

But you came back X - so all I'd say to chocs is "Never Say Never"!!
Maybe you'll be in a position to come back one day - but until then - best wishes from all of us

XRW-147 wrote:Let's just say I had constant persuasion (nagging) to be back - flattering really.

You love us all really!!

XRW-147 wrote:Ooer... love is a strong word matey... doesn't often come out from me.

You mean our love is one-sided?? I'm devastated!

You knew what I meant - not love like loving a wife - but, well, you know....

I think we should have really sat down at the beginning of this thread to decide what constitutes a country, and what counts as a province of a country.
For example, are England & Scotland seperate countries, or is the country Great Britain (because thats what my passport says!).

edited. I couldn't write what I originally put or this would have been put in fight club. Also I see that Choco is back, I hope you stay :) You should have put it Fayz. I could have used my new ultimate power moderator status to split the thread and stick the bad bit in Fight Club (or if it was abo...

Have you thought about taking up golf?? That way, next time I come to Dubai, I'll have someone to go and play with! (selfish I know!)

I just noticed this as well, congrats. I don't think you're the type anyway but i do ask you don't let the power go to your head like some mods before you. Best of luck and congrats :) I'll be good Fayz - I promise!! Besides, I only see myself as a deputy whilst Arnie is sunning himself by his pool!

Hmm, shame.
I'll get my thinking cap on then.
