Here we go again!!! Why don't they compete in science and technology, in innovations and inventions, in finding cure for cancer, aids and Alzheimer…..instead of competing for the longest, the highest, the tallest and the most luxurious….etc…?????!!!! http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/executive-l...
No more so than these whackos http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1286784/Muslim-protesters-brand-war-heroes-murderers-homecoming-parade-turns-violent.html or these whackos http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/09/iranian-protesters-carry-usa-coffin-torch-us-flag-at-quds-day-protests/ We enc...
Hi MCL Not sure I follow - the only point I was really trying to make was if there is a God, (and I am prepared to accept pretty much anyone's interpretation of his/her/its manifestation because its not an hallucination that I have had any experience of), why are there so many people dead in this en...
I use it as a paperweight for all the documents I produce on my Windows machine, come on lets be honest, its for Meedja and real estate types to pose around with, as a business workhorse is it as much use as a lollipop in a gun fight !
I have to agree, having watched the scenes on the television from New Delhi, then quite by chance this evening this caught my eye ......... http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/richardspencer/100055018/dubais-unique-contribution-to-the-commonwealth-games/ yes, its EMAAR !!! hahhahahahahaha Well given m...
It became a concern only because women have access to it, cybersex better than no $3x at all while hubbies entertain prostitues, 2nd, 3 rd, 4 th wife and girl friends. VPN's on the rise because they cannot be blocked by RTA. I'm sure you meant TRA and not RTA, would be strange if they sent a cab ov...
So MCL to put it in a nutshell ... Emaar would have stage managed it better if they had been driving at the time ? :shock: One of the principle problems that Emaar and other Dubai companies find is that overseas they do not control the press and the column inches printed (let alone the content) Like...
Why not? Most people in politics are there to further their own ends anyways - hence the amount of hot air and BS that eminate from these Ivory Towers (no, thats not in Business Bay, its JLT i think?) That a woman takes an infant with her to such work really makes no difference to the woman, the chi...
Have you ever heard the noise in the House of Commons when they get hungry ?
The House of Lords - food is perhaps their sole reason for being, decisions on the fate of thousands hardly ruffle a feather in there BUT the lunch menu, well thats a totally different matter !
Carbon neutral perhaps, but Zero carbon .... Hmmmm How many concrete blocks can you see in the photograph ? What about the concrete footing of the building, or is it polystyrene painted grey :lol: Anyone wanna chip in with the carbon cost of concrete production ? Sounds to me like some NYT journo go...
Oh hi Kid .... See you have been busy cut'n'pasting some website or press pack :shock: Tell me, what qualifies you to regurgitate a load of PR bumpf ? We all read the Masdar City project brief and it very definately includes living and working units (or is it gonna be run by Aluminium robots built b...
How about the Deyaar Trophy, no wait there's no one to hand it out they are all "away" ... or the Istithmar Cup, whoops that's at the pawn shop ... and the Dynasty Zarooni Trophy, well there is a dent on the table for it but its just not ready yet :) ... and then there is the Al Fajer Trop...
Therein lies the problem numpty ... "you understand" With an arrogance borne of education, knowledge and many years experience, I can tell you that the UK is in fact not going broke. You will of course be sensitive to this issue given that Dubai, as a quasi state, did in fact go broke, tha...
:shock: Not shocked at active fiscal management, it comes with the territory, but that you can not read the numbers and understand the orders of magnitude in question, poor little broken UK spends more on (a) Education (b) Defence (c) Local government EACH (individually) being more than your kitty l...
:lol: :lol: :lol: Just what I thinking ! We shall call this "Habibi's laws of conservation of energy" Or perhaps they could hook up that Yemeni's magic amulet and power the source compressor from that ? Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry ... someone thought this was news, then ...
Habibi, what you call a loss is what we call false positive on mark to market :) Actually, Mubadala ADIA ADIC et al are pretty well run because they did not have to operate on leveraged funds (as Dubai did) and most of their investments are cash investments. Added to the fact that they hold a massiv...
Wot rong fread or sumit ? What are you babbling on about ? What a marvellous thing Google is ... Do you think that the green keystone muppets know that there are such things as Police guidelines. You really are an ignorant little sh*t aren't you? I didn't use google actually, we have a copy at work...
And first a disclaimer ... I am not an engineer, but I did train as one (Oil & Gas Instrumentation) whilst at Uni I understand that compressed air can be used to move a piston and thus power a vehicle, but my experience of compressors (dive tanks, pneumatic wrenches and the like) indicate that t...
Sure sounds like it is a viable option. 200km would suit me fine for a days running around, the only thing is we would need to convince everyone else to use them as well - can you imagine a Ranger Rover or Landcruiser running into the back of one of these and fracturing the pressure tank .... Ouch I...
And where did you get the idea that "we" (the UK) had to borrow money from you ?? The default came about because your government companies could not repay what they borrowed, mainly from UK banks ! If the Kid was any dumber we would have to water him once a week and feed him Baby Bio once ...
