A little of rain can do that to people here. All of a sudden their mind goes blank, oh my what is this wet substance on the road. Must go faster through it without using any brakes

When I was running a workshop back in the day. On slow days we use to hope for rain because that would always bring in some bussiness to the body shop.

5? He wrote 12 on another thread and the sneaker thread and hence his spelling was bad - born in '98 supposedly. Who knows.

Could not agree more - its the only place that I felt me time had come to leave this world during a taxi journey. Every time I asked the driver to slow down he persisted in turning around, looking at me in the back seat, smiling and telling me to relax which made me more nervous as he wasn't even looking at the road. If he wanted to stop me complaining it was an extremely effecitve solution.

You get a few knob jockeys who think they own the road in Dubai... come to think of it they probably do own it... but generally it isn't that bad.

Ambassador, thats the power of being a mod on an internet forum. Some of us will never reach such dizzy heights.
