Agree with u there C, option one easily. You can get 3 games per person in an hour playing 4/lane.

Sorry, thought I was going to be in Dubai that week, but not anymore - coming this weekend though for a look around etc. Hope to be moving there around June, if everything goes according to plan (so I'll have to go on the next meeting!!)

I've got an interview lined up at the weekend, so I expect I'll be busy busy!! Back to UK on Monday!

no mate, flying out Sat, London

Cons

I voted for the 5th cos i am going back on the 9th, so thats the 2nd DF meet i will miss

:cry: :cry:

How bizarre - Some of arniegang's response got amalgamated into my post!! Strange!!
Anyway, no I'm not in Dubai yet - Coming over at weekend for the first time! I'm a Dubai virgin (unless you count the airport, which I've visited before!). Got and interview on sunday and a "meet and greet" session with a company out there, so fingers crossed!! I'd thought it was going to be in a few weeks though, and that I'd get to come along to the forum meet. Hopefully next time!!
Hope you all have a great time though!! And try to play nicely!! :lol:
