Bora, don't be silly! The topic is poster's age, even though the ambassador has his apostrophe in the wrong spot. I don't think he has any other excuse other than he didn't pay attention at school. I think it unfair that Drew can't participate and I have to admit I hadn't realised I was flirting wit...

Ambassador, please can I be considered for a managerial position? I have a Visa Card a Mastercard and an Amex, so I can't offend anyone there. I'm never offended but some say, an offender and I have someone else, close to me, that is considered an offender too, so I qualify at 2 and 4 of the above. ...

I really think it a shame that people can't give an unbiased opinion on Dubai.

Stop changing my posts.-- Sun Nov 14, 2010 8:03 pm -- Bora, don't be silly! The topic is poster's age, even though the ambassador has his apostrpohe in the wrong spot .

Thats funny, I hadn't realised I'd chosen to share my opinion, but rest assured DDS, if I did venture an opinion, I would have made sure I had read the article I was commenting on and not launched into a load of blah blah just for the hell of it. That's what I mean about an unbiased opinion, you see...

Herve, I am truely sorry for the hell you have been through at the hands of Dubai. I'm afraid you appear to think of all Emiratis as lower than low. I can't agree with you on this one. I have had some very positive experiences of Dubai and the locals. I understand where you come from but I felt I ha...

Bethsmum

Two points to make. First one to DDS, I see you choose not to respond to my post asking what my choice of property purchase has to do with this topic. You still keep slipping back to the personal slights, you just can't maintain your cool can you? If Dubai is so bad just why do you stay? From past d...

I'm not fishing, it's just a simple question. You're banging on and now you are just trying to body swerve the question by turning it on me. If you remember it's you who has done the fishing on me by searching the web for anything I've written. You can't deny it, you were on a fishing trip to JBR co...

Herve, I hope we are friends. I have no wish to upset you further.-- Mon Nov 15, 2010 4:05 am --Bora, you absolutely must get a copy of Herve’s book, it is so entertaining! He really is the most romantic of men, intelligent and witty, and you know that does it for me! I was going to write this earli...

Bethsmum

Herve, I have travelled far and wide. My father was in the RAF and my first husband, the British Army. It doesn't really bother me if my property loses value. I paid dhs449,000. It wasn't a fortune. I sold a property in the UK to finance it in 2003, I made a fortune on that deal, unrealistic propert...

TJ there is a lot to be said for age and experience.

Ambassador, I promise to get my spellchecker fixed! I just thought that if I was an employee rather that an inmate I could be rehabilitated on the job, so to speak. What other position can you offer me? BTW I do hope you are male, I'm still not sure.

Bethsmum

Surely it should be poster's age? Aren't you refering to one poster and his age? As in 'poster his age?' Would it not be posters' ages if it were plural? You have got me thinking! If I am wrong, I do apologise Ambassador.

Bethsmum

I don't see that it has anything to do with whether your first language is English or not, it's English grammar. You can't change it, it is what it is. Can't anyone have a decent debate round here without you wanting to close it down? We aren't bickering just debating a point. I'd be happy to hear o...

Bethsmum

Yes Mel, it's tiresome isn't it?

Man driving with mobile in left had held to RIGHT ear. Wondering: wouldn't it be easier just to put it to your left ear. He probably needs his right hand free for shifting. Hate to say it, but Germans are the best drivers. Ohhh I can't agree with that one. I lived in Germany for about 16+years and ...

Bethsmum

Eid Mubarak to you too, DDS, I wish you all you would wish for yourself.

Bethsmum

Most of them are I'm afraid. I spent long enough in their very beautiful country to make an informed decision.

Bethsmum

He probably needs his right hand free for shifting. Aah now there's a sign of a performance driver, you need a tiptronic or manual box for full control of your vehicle and everybody knows that MEN make the best drivers, whatever their Nationalities :lol: Dillon, men's ego's are very fragile when it...

Bethsmum

I have to say that caning it down country lanes is the most stupid and irresponsible thing to do. I don't have a problem with people putting their foot down on the appropriate roads but country lanes where livestock etc can be wandering is just plain daft. How do you know what you will come across r...

Bethsmum

Oh get a life BM, they were closed of for competitions with no oncoming traffic. Get over yourself. FYI, I also rode horses, had livestock etc etc. Take a chill pill. I am so pleased you clarified what was a particularly stupid statement. I must admit i had began to wonder if you were old enough to...

LOL @ Bora! TJ, would you say poster is a proper name? Pastor’s age is a singular possessive. But Pastor’s (meaning Pastor is) could pass but it is not really proper grammar. The “ ‘s ” to mean “is” is best used only with with pronouns, like: She’s gone, It’s late… but not with proper names. I take ...

Bethsmum

Back to grammar. Yes, Posters' age is correct because it is the "possesive" of the "age of the posters" and it is "singular" because the thread is about the "average" age (there being one average) not the indiviaul poster's age (note the apostrophe) in the ri...

Bethsmum

Well it has been like this for a quite a while now with very minimal intervention other than the few threads going to FC. I personally had no problem with it and I don't think many did either. But then someone went about asking for it in a quest for a better change and then did like it when change ...

Bethsmum

Benwj, can I ask? have you read Herve's book? Just curious? I'm not half way through it yet and enjoying it a great deal. When you describe the Emiratis as singing like canaries and they they will rat on anyone you definately are describing a lot of people the world over. I work with one or two peop...

Bethsmum

Well it wasn't so much Happy flippin' Eid this morning, as all the lanes were blocked to where I needed to go by people just getting out and leaving them all over the place to go and pray. Another excuse to be void of all common sense and consideration for others I'm afraid! Chocs, you went toally ...
