Anyone know where in Dubai on Sunday I can go to catch the Rugby game of Australia Vs. England which should kickoff around lunch time?

Yes I am desperate!! No, I'm not a fan of soccer (fooootball).

Yes Liban, we know you prefer the sport of trolling.

Anyone with a worthwhile contribution to my dillemma?

People die in wars all over the world and in famines and whatnot and you consider your difficulty in watching rugby to be a dilemma?

Chill out buddy I am just pulling your leg

My difficulty in watching Rugby is indeed a dilemma.

I think you need to be more open and understanding of other cultures and the way people live. For some, Rugby is a religion.

OK, what part of me saying that "I am pulling your leg" are you having trouble understanding?

Nothing, can you have a rest and stop clogging the post so somebody *can* actually respond to my query?

Ummm.... No!

Iam, unfortunately most of the places that would normally show the rugby will have been taken over by footy (the round one) fans. But I heard a whisper that Aussie legends might have one screen with the footy and one with the rugby on.

Prime sports screen rugby

FYI I arrived a month ago with 2 suitcases, and a TV is down the list of priorities. Even when it does get to the top of the list, I don't view a TV as something that would get a lot of use, it didn't in Australia.

I only watch two TV Shows - Dr. Who & Battlestar Galactica.

I also enjoy watching Cricket and Rugby.

I am pleased you know what year you're in, Doc Emmet would be proud.

Ahhh - surfers paradise!!
Explains why you haven't got a TV. They've only just had the wheel there!!

Sorry, just teasing!!

Hang on - you lived in Surfers Paradise and left to go to Dubai?? Without a TV???

I flew Singapore and I was already stretching the friendship with 30 kilos of luggage. A tv would have been insane, although I almost brought my XBox.

I have been looking at TVs but struggling to find a good price for a 32" Plasma of repute. Best I can see is 4700 for a Samsung or 5500 for a Sony Bravo.

And then... I have to get satellite - all by Sunday.

Hence I need to find a pub showing it.

Well you know, I could always sit there with the remote in one hand, the Sheisha pipe in the other and be zombie to the TV.

Both BSG and DW are hangovers from when I was a kid, I loved those shows, but then you'd never understand 5:30 weekdays on the ABC, its a whole other world away.

Thats a luxury only awarded to a few people...

I failed introversion as a social science, I just enjoy being out and about too much.
