DDS,I can have my differences with BM, but she is more genuine and I find her posts very interesting, unlike the many fakes here who put on airs of superiority, like the comment about "......go back to your AED 4000 per month salary." The person who made that comment probably has the IQ of...

BM, you have certainly moved around a lot. You dont seem to me like the wrist-cutting type, but everyone feels a bit under the weather at times. Thats a human trait.

zonker

BM, Describe what that would be?

An Iranian guy once made a rather interesting observation. He said in order to control Arabs, keep them well fed and contented. To control the Persians, keep them hungary and harassed. The UAE will not see any unrest because of these two facts;Small Arab Local population, that is very well looked af...

I foresee many challenges for the desert rulers, may god be with them It looks like its going to be the "desert rulers" and god on one side, and everybody else on the other! :lol: Bahrain going up in flames on one side, and Oman and Yemen on the other, and Saudi and the UAE in the middle....

I think this could be classified as a Pyrric victory for DW and merely a moral one for herve. 8) 8) 8) Knight DK, your reference to a "Pyrrhic Victory" is quite apt here as it refers to a very very costly war fought between the Greeks, Romans, and Cathargians. When the duelling Armies sep...

Here is my 0.02 cents worth. I have had an absolutely horrible experience with the HSBC Premier account in Dubai. When I was leaving Dubai I opened an account with them in US$. I opened a chequing account, and at the time I was assured that the minimum was something like $5000/, which I was comforta...

Thats even worse

There are a great many UAE nationals that have Iranian bloodline. Marry a UAE national and getting the passport would apply to expat women. Those employed by the rulers - what nationalities would that be? Those that were here "since the beginning" were Indian and British. The British, as ...

I think the UAE has got it about right. Why should they dish their passport to just anyone? BM, I agree with you! Do I have a choice?? :lol: The UAE is a small country, and has managed itself very well by CHEAP labour from many countries. @Bora: Again, the US and Canada definitely are countries bui...

zonker

Bora, for your information, expats dont have ANY rights in the UAE. You just have to renew your Residence Permit there every 3 years, and that is how the years pass , dragging into decades. A freind of mine, a personal Physician to one of the Sheikhs there, was driving on the highway, and was whacke...

zonker

Bora, we have gone around in some circles here on this discussion, and lost our way. I was not talking about myself, I was just stating the facts as they appeared to me. I used to live in the UAE, and loved it, EXCEPT for some of its glaring injustices which always troubled me. And so, when the oppo...

zonker

Bora, NOW you got it!

zonker

Actually Zonker, I was referring to getting you!!!, not the issue about "rights". I still want to know exactly what rights are being referred to. A list would certainly help. I have been turning over this "rights" issue in my head and I'm very curious as to what "rights&quo...

zonker

Khalid, I understand what you are saying, my friend. Even though you are a "stateless" person in the UAE, its non of your fault. The fault lies in the discriminatory system prevailing there. You have every right to strive and improve your plight by any legal means available to you, and tha...

My darling BM. Kindly refer to your recent post "She is going down", based on a news item taken from one of Britain's notorious Tabloids. I agree, your system is getting screwed. But maybe, this is what is called poetic justice. Please read carefully one of the very beautiful poems by one ...

BM: Written about 1870 or so, the poet an Englishman, describes a region in the present day Afghanistan/Pakistan border area. The protagonist in the story is obviously a British spy wanting to spy on Russia (grey-coat, as he describes it), but his 'agent' or 'Joe', gives him a 'story' about the crue...

Why do people celebrate Birthdays? Isnt it a reminder that another year has gone by? And we are so much nearer to the brink? Its kinda scary.......

.......... Zonker, you are as young as the woman you feel, or in my case, the man. Keep young at heart Zonker! The Chardonnay helps! As Frank Sinatra would say Lovely ... Don't you ever change. Keep that breathless charm. Won't you please arrange it ? 'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look ton...

Well, I never believed in angels much, anyway!

And thanks for that song!

zonker

You don't want an angel Zonker! Usher says he wants 'a lady on the street and a freak in the bed', isn't that like most men? I must say I can't recall a song from Mr Sinatra where he sings that way about a lady. They don't make them the way they used to Zonker. Us ladies like to be romanced and not...

zonker

BM, I understand!
I cant even imagine one landing with someone who behaves like a lady in bed, and a freak on the street!
The closest Frank came to it was when he said THE LADY IS A TRAMP.

.....and I think its a lady's prerogative to change her mind frequently!

zonker

BM......interesting and am curious......who are the new additions to your "club"?
Or do you keep the members campartmentalized and strictly on "need to know" basis?

zonker

BM....Bingo! You have got it in one, when you say its the "angle" that counts in that photograph! You have made my day! :lol: BTW, females have a wide Pelvis; its designed for childbirth. A narrow waist means she is probably young, and the angle does the rest. But I prefer blondes! :lol:

^^BM, interesting and funny!! :lol: I was told this story once, and assured of it being 100% true. A guy was having some beers and a laugh with his friends in the bar, and feeling the need to spend a penny, rushed into the loo. He was in as much of a rush to come out so as not to miss any of the fun...

Sage, the chief's point is obvious. Iran's Nuclear program was started by a German multi-national Company back in 1975, and only completed by the Russians. However, as for the risks of Nuclear Power, these are going to grow with time. The genie of atomic power and its risks is well and truly out of ...

Well, my day is drawing to a close. My computer clock says its 11:22pm. Its still not April though. I normally have a vague plan in place for any of my days. Today was no exception. But it was one that I was looking forward to.I would call a "special" friend; Instead of going to the office...
