:lol: :lol: I remember the aircon tent on the SZR - the "Official Protest Tent", had any protesters managed to get through the airport the facilties laid on for them would have been fantastic !! Does anyone know who the lone protestor was (probably a CID infiltrator !!!) I hear on the basi...
Great book, worth listening to the recorded for BBC radio version (early 80's I think) - a pretty crap TV series then an excellent film as per Dillions link above ...
Ask Ling Ling I am sure she could locate a copy of it !
Even today I cannot watch "Meridan Tonight" without shouting "HOW!" when I see Fred Dinnage Or when Mike Reed was on Eastenders, shouting "Runaround", It got very old, very quickly with the wife, but I found it amusing (everytime) ... simple things Remember Clackers, 2 ...
I don't know if this gets past the Poxy proxxy http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/science-%26-technology/earth%11like-planet-actually-sunderland%11like-planet-201010013133/ EARTH-LIKE PLANET ACTUALLY SUNDERLAND-LIKE PLANET HOPES of intelligent life on planet Gliese 581g were dashed yesterday as scie...
Yup, its the damned brits again (damned if they do and damned if they don't) No other nationality gets quite as maligned for standing up and fighting back. As for the kid quitting, ho hum, pretty much what you would expect, "it's my ball and I am going home..." Eulogy to the kid ... "...
Don't know if you look at it on line or get it locally but WTF have they done to it ???????????? The content notwithstanding, the layout at least made it feel like a sensible newspaper, easy to move around etc, but this evolution :lol: Is this the result of handing over the reins of common sense to ...
Bora, coming a cropper means to get caught out. Must be an english phrase, never really thought about it before. No I'm not Mexican, English through and through, of the white, blonde variety. Am I really the record holder? How exciting! Do you think I'll get a mention in the Guiness Book Of Records...
An Emirati rescue team was on standby, but the Chilean Government saw no need to fill the shaft with concrete, black out news coverage and declare "Success for Ahmed !!! All workers have already returned home and are with their families." "Officials said, no you can't have their names...
BB, I think you will find that he was using a comedic tool called a Double Entendre, (the use of the word tool in this sentence is also a double entendre, both to communicate what Drew was doing at the time (his tool!), and as to how he represents himself (a tool) ....) :lol: Be kind to him he is, h...
Word of the day "STATIC"! -- Thu Oct 14, 2010 4:17 pm -- BB, I think you will find that he was using a comedic tool called a Double Entendre, (the use of the word tool in this sentence is also a double entendre, both to communicate what Drew was doing at the time (his tool!), and as to ho...
Right, FIRSTLY I know zero - nothing - nada - mafi - ingenting ( ;)) about airline standard operating models Thus I am asking all you with intimate knowledge of the subject, gleaned from your executive economy class seats, how is it that we are led to believe that Dubai (not Abu Dhabi) has funded th...
My humble apologies, not fat, how did you put it, ah yes "curvy" or as we say in the real world, um "FAT". Bet you were down on Clarke Key wobbling away to Mica's Big Girl "diet coke and a pizza please" :lol: "I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sobe...
Thats right herve. Believe it or not, they actually have to borrow this money on the international market. Even more alarming is the fact that they have to pay it back with interest. Shock horror! The EU whine can be translated thus: But But... We pay our staff more... they are always on strike. We...
Spot on BM. (Feels weird writing that!) The Elephant in the corner wearing the dishdahsa, that no one to date has commented on, is the political / managerial manouvering and infighting that is behind all of this. Sultan is, I think we can all agree, a fairly astute businessman, and when things are g...
They lost in Singapore; They settled in New York; They adjurned and withdrew in London; & there are certainly 4 underway in Dubai & of course there is Florida
The point is that arabs need to learn to employ better contract negotiators. You are probably correct on so many levels with that comment BUT, (and as many others did) I saw at first hand the rampant insanity with which contracts were entered into by ALL nationalities and at all management levels w...
Do bears poop in the woods? Are the Kennedys gun shy? The TRA has packet sniffing technology and probably one or two staff who know how to use it. They have access to Yahoo Mail & Hotmail but not yet Gmail (but perhaps that has changed in the last 12 months). They use a UK based Software Co to d...
You might want to check the court records about that case, which was a commercial case & which Herve won incidentally, so I am not sure how this serves to support Dubai Worlds case against him, or is it yet another own goal by the agents of AbdulQader.
Is it the same technicses you used when you sold puerto rico the broken submarines too ? herve ,you are not cut up for this business .which reminds to ask you , are you still running the Subs business in Florida ? Something about this post piqued my interest so I did some digging .... Back in early...
Well poppet, he is the Head of Dubai World Group Internal Audit - self appointed head of the keystone cops, a feckless individual whose self opinion is second to non, a legend in his own lunchtime, so to speak. The lies roll off his tongue like syrup off a spoon and thinks nothing of fabricating any...
DDS, we all become the result of our experience at the hand(s) of individuals from cultures and creeds that we come across in our lives. I grew up in the Gulf and had a great time, but on returning to the UAE in my 40's got a nasty shock and as a result utterly despise what it has become, the people...
