Yes but you have to pay for the privilege :shock: Supposedly you are not allowed to take pictures inside, etc. but everyone does it. Just check their website for the various packages (lunch, afternoon tea, drinks at the sky bar, dinner, etc.). Or you can stay there for a mere $3,000 a night at leas...

The best bonus is all the toiletries you get for free, and the slippers embroidered in gold 8) On the downside the butler service can be quite irretating. Ahh, now we see how similar we are - the best hotels can be judged on what you goodies you can squeeze into your toilet bag, and what other stuf...

Does your wife know this?? I'm assuming you only mean on the forum, and not at home!!

The toiletries in the Burj are worth around £200 The bulter service can be really in your face sometimes thats all. So if I stay there on my next visit to dubai, I'll need to take a really big toilet bag then?? :lol: £200 - well that's got to be worth a nights stay! I can try and sell the stuff on ...

And there lies the root of America. It is not a team player. I think you have hit the nail on the head there. American teams of various sports tend to a collection of individuals, rather than a team. For an excellent example, I look to the 2004 Ryder Cup. The European team thrashed the US team, des...

For the Brits out there holidaying abroad, you should join Nationwide (either their credit card or current account) as they don't charge for overseas transactions. Every other bank that I know of, does! I'd say that you should maybe withdraw one big lump sum, to avoid any additional charges (eg my b...

Was that the 1992 Olympics?? In Barcelona?

the_zooter

Yeah, they were good - don't think any team will ever match them! You could tell when they won the gold that year, that the money didn't matter - it was the fact they'd won the gold - which meant more to them than probably any other honor. Its a shame, because now you get the feeling that in many sp...

Congrats to Chocs, but also to Jeevan - both of whom have got the all new forum! I hope you know that its a great responsibility you now both have - and that you know about the initiation ceremony?? Don't worry, the scars don't last forever, and the pain is fairly minimal! Good luck, and happy moddi...

What would happen if a fire started at the top of a tall building, in the Marina for instance?? And dare I even ask what would happen if the top floor of the Burj Dubai caught fire?? Not many ladders extend a km high I wouldn't have thought??

the_zooter

Yeah, best wishes mate. I'm sure the two new mods will do a fine job in keeping this forum one of the best communities on the net!

Soul - you can't just leave us hanging like this. I demand you tell us all now!!

X - it wouldn't surprise me if it was a residents water bucket with each home - but I bet they'd make you supply your own water or something!

the_zooter

I don't know if this is true or not but I rember reading that the Dubai Fire Dept. can't handle anything higher than four floors :shock: , good thing there are no high rises in the city :roll: I've heard that somewhere too (it was probably you that told me!). Good thing you don't live in a high-ris...

An old friend of mine did a PhD in Chemistry too. As soon as he finished, he was offered a job immediately - as a stockbroker!! He's not looked back since! Having a PhD in Chemistry shouldn't hold you back from anything really - it just shows you have a very analytical type mind - and a good head fo...

Its great to have you on this forum, and your contributions have been very valuable. Keep up the good work

the_zooter

I'm sorry I have to put a stop to this now because its in danger of going way off track. I'll try to answer your points as simply as possible: 1) Your posts have been moved to forums that are deemed more appropriate to the type of questions you are asking. 2) You are probably not getting replies for...

Good on you Chocs! If only there were more people around like you

Congrats to you both and yorky, special props for being around longer than most anyone else and taking your time getting to 1k He seems to be making up for any lost time though - he's been one of the biggest posters in recent weeks!

If anything ever caught fire out there, they'd probably just annexe the palm off and forget that it ever existed!

I never knew that funerals could be so exciting!

Have you had any luck yet??
Have you thought about maybe purchasing a property?? I guess you can rent it out when you come to leave Dubai - and get a nice little income from it!

Luckily, the Hard-disk failure didn't make us lose this valuable resource

I was, like most people here, at work. It was about 1:45pm (?), and my boss called me to ask me a quick question. After I'd answered the question, she was like "what's happening in the world? I've just heard that a plane has hit the world trade centre in New York". I put the phone down and...

Glad you finally made in Raidah.
