Dubai Forums

No, Dubai is not an isolated incident. Its not an incident, because every smart investor could see that this building boom was unsustainable, but thuoght that the government would back all investments due to its vision and to avoid faceloss. A fallacy, in hindsight. The investment world won't forget...

So things are a little worse than that. Just a tip: Its not a very good idea to run down a person who owes you money before they have paid it back. Probably a better idea to wait until after they have paid it. Considerably worse that that...(note that your figures are both public (government) and p...

Well according to reports it wasn't cash, but Dubai World reported Four Million Dollars worth of equipment was missing. I believe that is correct, in any case the guy is nothing but a common thief and he was lucky to have escaped dressed as a woman. A 'so called thief' that delivered private submar...

You need your own propaganda corner mate. I think you should name it: "The Royal(e) Lick of Sage"

And why not :lol: Fine by me, as long as you are willing to leave the status quo in your forum posts. Sign here please: ....

Yeah, you might be wondering why I still want to work in such debt-laden sandpile... :D I don't know exactly what it is. Lets say, 'there's an attraction' to Dubai. Its an interesting place to discover. As long as my personal freedom is not in jeopardy...we'll manage right...together with the right ...

Hold up! Just let me charge the dilithium crystals and bring the warp drives online and offfff we go! Say honey, we are way past the dilithium crystals already! First of all, we use nuclear fusion drives for the short hauls (Helium-3), so we can fill the tank at the moon mine gas station... :lol: S...

I knew that was like adding a ton of value to this forum.

...clearly brought with the logic of a pellet.

Like Gertrude said, you lost all credibility on this forum Sage.

You mean the Dutch, Danes, Swedes and Germans have worse teetht that the Brits? Not in a million years. That they all get Bee Gees teeth as adults does not mean a thing. That's not true! We're much better these days! FYI, I've never had a filling - neh ne ne ne neh! Me neither. Neh ne ne ne nehhhhh...

You already said that, and frankly the more people like you say it, the more I think he s not guilty. You have no credibility Sage. And speaking of bankrupcy and guilt, Dubai World lost one of its prize New York hotel because they are broke and could not pay back their loan. GUILTY and BROKE! http:...

The irony is that herve is going to make millions selling his story... more than he ever would have from the bloody submarines. Sounds like just another Blue Banana story to me. Expat running away from insurmountable debt, only this time he had to leave his car at DIMC rather than at the airport. Y...

So you are avoiding the question about MEMRI (who edited and translated the video you are presenting as evidence). That speaks volumes. Cheers, Shafique Shafique, you seem like a smart guy...but your ignorance is showing volume now mate! Beatings, not even mentioning your own wife, are from the sto...

I owe you an apology mate.

I totally misread your main point. Keep it up.

Yo Kid, I don't read the Times. I do get refferals from you guys to that crappy paper (lol) Say Kid, the $10bn rescue from AD isn't exactly something to be proud of for Dubai. Since Nakheel is a 100 percent state-owned company and was heading to default on the first Sukuk type bond ($4.1bn islamic b...

Dec. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Dubai’s pledge to adopt global standards on transparency and creditor protection is a “giant step in the right direction” and the worst of the emirate’s debt crisis is over, investor Mark Mobius said. “They said that going forward they wanted to become more transparent and kee...

I seriously wonder sometimes, if they find it so bad here. Then why are they still here. I guess those rejects which were exported. Couldn't find a decent job mopping toilet floors back home.

I do respect them for their accomplishment and hard work but it is unfair to compare Singapore to Dubai and it's success ! look at its economic neighbors and the support it got during its boom among many other factors for example that Dubai unlike other places got caught in the middle of its proces...

UPDATE: Dubai needs creativity to pay debt without taxes And while asset sales are on the cards, Dubai has to find new revenue sources at least to pay off its own debt. "In the short term, such an announcement (of taxes) could have a big psychological effect within the community of foreign play...

So now you're saying it runs in the family?

Emotions aside, you know what I meant.
I select my words rather carefully. You tricky basterd.

Smells of Saudi ! How is this going to work ? What happened to Sharjah all of a sudden ? Seems like turning into little saudi ?

That sirene you heard was the fire truck arriving near the scene, so rescue workers are probably not present yet as the video shows. Some of us in the West might mistake the sirene for a cargo train. In russia this sirene comes from the ZIL 157 firetruck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR3tgosAVNA A...

Lets see whether I was way off base. Whats your length hon?

The sirena on emergency trucks in Russia sounds absolutely the same as everywhere in the world. Moreover ZIL 157, which was launched in 1958, is almost extinct even from Fire Departments. Regarding the horn/sirene of the firetruck. They sound quite different in this country. ;) Zil 157 extinct. LoL...
