Let this be as it is intended! :D What do you guys like about Dubai? Personally I think it is a great place to live where everyone can be satisfied. Awesome natural scenery and a load of outdoor activities and sports you can indulge in. Great beaches and parks. Shopoholics are even catered for with ...

GAB

Hmmmmm....

and remember it isnt how long one has been around that matters, its how one conducts themselves

You're turning out to be a pretty good cook with all your pot stirring!! You are my first choice for the wooden spoon prize!

GAB

Reminds me of a song (Led Zepplin)! Soul isn't indicative of the place, surely it's who you mix with! And let's face it Dubai certainly has cultural diversity. I've met some great people. Also such diverse areas in Dubai like Karama, along the creek, the old souks, the beaches at Jebel Ali and Jumei...

GAB

Interesting that you use the term longevity when I've spoken to countless of "expats" who have been here for between 5 to 25 years!! That's a pretty damn long expat stint...I'm used to the 2 to 3 year turn over thing-you make friends quickly because they'll be gone tomorrow!! I've been here less tim...

GAB

Do I win the plasma tv for the longest post?????

GAB

You can do my gardening! :) I miss the bulbs eg. daffodils,especially fresias because of their scent. I miss the roses too. I've seen people fish at the beach and along the creek (what would you catch in there?). The point has been made that expats are expats because of the money but it doesn't matt...

GAB

Petrol is around the DH6.50 per gallon mark (varies depending on if you get super or whatever). I think a gallon is 4 litres-correct me someone if I am wrong!

GAB

George Bush said God "spoke" to him and told him to go to Iraq... Thats what the crusaders said... Oh, pleeeeez! Don't categorise everyone according to his statements. Don't you guys have friends whose religion, race, nationality etc are different to your own? Yes, I do. Who gives a flying fish? So...

GAB

Beg to differ darling- DH6.75 for the more expensive one yesterday but it could be dyslexia or senility!!

GAB

There are extremists in every religion and there are non-religious nutters as well. Why single out one religion or for that matter race or for that matter nationality or for that matter country????

GAB

Basic?? A little insulting. But if the shoe fits I'll wear it happily. I just find that this sort of posting is pot stirring and antagonostic-my basic, naive view.

GAB

Lets stop talking about Islamic extremism right now.

Yee haa to that!!

GAB

Ah, old boozers!

Places have ladies nights too-girl's can get a couple of drinks for free! Doesn't help you guys much tho'!!

GAB

For DH50 000 you can get a good 4WD second hand (about 2 to 4 years old)- just look in classifieds on line like http://www.gulfnews.com http://www.khaleejtimes.com http://www.dubizzle.com Buying privately can have benefits cost wise. Also you mentioned you have kids-get a 4wd!! Put it this way -it i...

GAB

When car rental is cheapest at DH1300 a month (as I have heard) plus petrol (that of course is at the max. price of DH6.75 a gallon :wink: ) and you have DEWA (electricity bills), I'd say no, but it depends on what type of lifestyle you want to maintain or achieve. Your post needs a little more to g...

GAB

That wasn't a great review sniper!

I want to take my kids, is it at least enjoyable?

GAB

The ladies nights sure get the guys in!! I reckon they out number the women 10 to 1!! If only I was still young-the talent on show isn't too bad....afraid I'm not in to toy boys!!

GAB

Can I have access please! A simpletons view may be fun!!

GAB

I was going to offfer to hold your zimmer for you but I think I'd prefer to hold your drink!

GAB

What is with that avatar!!!??????????

I assume we are talking about your personality as in "boob" a silly or awkward fellow?????????? (definition courtesy of the good ol' oxford dictionary!!)

GAB

Please explain. I'm so sure I don't understand!!
The whole banana thing is a little disturbing too.

GAB

Oh, choc, I'm old, I'm blonde and yes, according to some may have "basic" views but that stupid?????? Possibly??? The banana also looks like something else when you squint.... a squished 'nana!!

GAB

pmsl!! I am glad you still have your wits about you despite your advancing years!

GAB

Thanx!

I am just hoping it is engaging enough because I heard it is a pretty long movie.......it's not the kids I am so much worried about it is my own attention span!!

GAB

My advice is don't. Alcohol is not really that expensive compared to other places we've been.

GAB

Arniegang swapped the oxygen tanks for nitrous oxide in the old folks home. Is this a boys (I use the term loosely as I believe old buggers would probably be more appropriate) night out only thing??? A little sexist I think!

GAB

It's not anything like pms/pmt!!

I wanted to know how you were so damn smart

getting the shrugging shoulders emoticon........then I saw "View more Emoticons"

GAB

Allo ladies

Oh, Yorky you're such a charmer!

LMAO !!
What about this drinks thing luvee???

GAB

No you should not!! Only a "boob" would reply to that!

I really feel I ought to respond to this, I really should. Damn, it was well written, for a blonde!
