How did Del Trotter say it: 'Allo darling! fancy a pint them? Him stood there with his pina-colada and umbrella! hahahahahahaha

Avatar = Boobs Rock!

well, I did not go last night.

Instead went for dinner at the Yalumba restaurant in Le meridian (opp Airport). All you can eat seafood night for Dhs160. Must admit, made absolute pigs of ourselves (mainly deserts = partial to choclate)

hahahahahahaha. Nope not a substitute, an aid, actually.

As they say "old habits die hard".

Ravages of time = ? hopefully not that bad. hahahahahahaahhaa

Just a few questions really.

How long should it take? (based on leaving early AM)
Border crossing = pain in the arse or not?
Any decent sights to be seen along the way? (or just more sand)
They have 98 petrol in Oman I take it?
What is there to do in Muscat?

Cheers for any replies.

Cheers Liban,

So driving at between 180 - 200 km/h I should get there in time for the end of the Buffet breakie?

yorky500

Yup, you can get GTA's in Dubai. Nice quick car, have to admit. Had a few runs with them in the past.

What info you looking for?

yorky500

Lets hope you are getting the benfit of that testosterone! hahahahahahahahahahaha

I think most of those are in Sharjah, but I could be wrong.

I think Alfa have a fairly good servide rep, but i could be wrong. They chased me hard enough to buy one!

Cheers Liban, So driving at between 180 - 200 km/h I should get there in time for the end of the Buffet breakie? :lol: :lol: Hey buddy... You could do that... :) When I went, the Oman radars never seemed to work. They never once flashed and I have no tickets. Try to stop at Hatta. The Fort Hotel is...

G, You can try any of the car rental places like Dollar, Avis and all the rest (cannot think of too many) Only problem I have found is that they will basically take the cost of purchasing the car, tax, insurance, amintenance etc and then divide it by a set number of years and months. I have NO idea ...

^^^^^^^^^^^ hahahahahahahaha

The one I really wanted was too big, NO, it was not a close-up of Pam Andersons knockers either! hahahaha

HP,

Just for once I would like to see a half decent thread form you, rather than this non-sensical drivel you keep coming out with. I mean it is completely and utterly useless.

I am not "attacking", just stating an observation.

yorky500

Well, for a family you will no doubt be looking for a 3 bed villa as a minimum. OK, this is approx and depends on the area where you live Rent per year: Dhs 100,000.00 Utilities: Dhs 1,000.00 per month = Dhs 12,000.00 per year So, that makes Dhs112,000 per year, so i would negotiate Dhs10,000.00 per...

yorky500

Yes, it is cheaper, but you will either have to suffer driving through Sharjah or take the Emirates road.

With NO traffic or very, very light traffic (a rarity in Dubai) Airport to Ajman will take approx 30 mins, with trafffic, I have no idea, but I would say: Set ya alarm damn early!

Fayz,

I am looking at my telephone bill and I do not see any charges for making calls to mobile phones and I do call mobile phones from my landline.

I can tell you that to call directory enquiries costs 30 fils a call! hahahahahahahahaha

yorky500

Well, if there is a charge, it was not showing up on my bill! perhaps included within the monthly rental or something?

yorky500

Shaz,

Good read. Thanks for that. Seems like I may be doing a fair bit of driving once I am there, instead of relaxing by the hotel pool getting pissed!

hahahahahahaha

yorky500

At a guess the high temperatures?

yorky500

I am kinda looking forward to it to be honest. Be nice to get awya from dubai for a few days, spend time with "she that must be obeyed" and take the car for a long drive too.

yorky500

Mmmmmm, most of the expats i know that are on true expat packages get tax and stuff paid for by their Companies. what they get in their hand when working abroad is for them, and them only.

I take it you are only coming out on secondment and not a full time role?

yorky500

Liban,

does it make a difference from 50 to 40 deg C? hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I still sweat like a MOFO at -5 deg!

yorky500

Well, I have to admit, I can vouch for Nissan. Both will have a really good re-sale value in Dubai. They are both a "good choice" for most of the population here in Dubai. :lol: Your best bet is to go into both dealerships and see what they have to offer you. I would not discount the Chev car. they ...

Its truly amazing really when you think about it. We all have different religeous beliefs, yet it one and the same person (we hope). Religion and politics are the two manin driving forces behind all the conflict in this world, wether it be Africa, Europe, Asia or anywhere else for that fact. If we a...

yorky500

photonico, You will first need to provide a bit more info than what you have done. I mean, nobody here knows you, knows what you like or what you do. We could all say that Dhs10,000 is enough, but if your profession is a Secretary, then you ain't realistically gonna earn that much money. You also ma...

Well, Feipo and I will write up our little trip when we come back. I don't think it will be as long as that, but it will involve a lot of BOOZE and relaxation by the pool! hahahahahahahaha

yorky500

Mmmmmmmm, tough one that. Lots of ways to respond and too many to mention.

yorky500

Irrespective of what is said and who believes what, we all evolved from APES!

There was NO man, only APES and over time we have evolved and changed to become what we are today.
