Some of the reader comments posted are interesting, and in many cases to the point. http://www.arabianbusiness.com/584048-atlantis-frees-sammy-the-whale-shark First or last (depending how you see it) comment page 3: Stunt after stunt fails to hide the flaws Posted by John at 16:45 UAE time Edited b...

See again in your arrogance and ignorance you fail to see the point I was trying to make. The point being although an impressive machine by any standards it has nothing to do or similar to the cars out on the road, a very common misconception among the general public These are highly tuned, modifie...

First of all. NO I don't hate you. Thats a relief. Seriously :mrgreen: Look at BMW their bulid quality is absolutely shyte. The 80's merc and beamers are of much superior quality that of today. I would like to see what shape a 2010 3 series is in 25 years time from now. I'll bet all the bells and w...

Sorry fella, she got a one way trip only. Passport confisqated.

Dubai port authority didn't want to her back on shore. Also see: Sharlah Musabih.

Move along, nothing but Excellence to see here. Plastic Japs at the other side of the pond

Now a proud owner of a DB9

Sounds tasteful, that DB9 part aye! You must have done really good flippin' condo's in Dubai mate.

Two, no three raw savages here messing up my topic devoted to Engineering Excellence. :D So why are you talking BMWs then ? The two don't belong toghter even in the same sentence ? Because its truly the Best over all the Rest. Hands down. (personal opinion) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-co3TNmsuFU

I hope I wasn't harping. Just defending my case.

You forgot option e) Passioned drivers devoted to harmony

Sorry if that option made me look older than you.

^^^DD on his late '80s and mid '90's coupe.

Way the go DD. Moves you around reliably.

^^^RG in his coupe convertible. :mrgreen: There I corected it for you. Top of the line too, and best perfomance figures of any BMW ever invented. 1 AP ( Ass power ) 0-100 never ! Turns on a dime, stops in a heartbeat. Unheard of fuel consumption, and the most eniviromently friendly vehicle ever. :l...

^^^Journo correction.^^^

Quite a stir going on at the National in AD. Some of the top editors are moving out and people are not happy with how things are running. Heard anything about it Chocs?

Banning the FED would make sense.

But banning interest rates in general is just asking for excessive risk taking by finding the best return available from asset inflation. Hence bubble prone.

Try and come up with a solution that makes sense Shafique. The logic doesn't add up so far.

I replied to Berrin about sharia compliant loans. Those type of loans even contributed to speculative buying in Dubai property. There a video added also.

Read (and/or reply) in the other topic about the business cycle.

The 'shariah loans' are indeed just loans with interest dressed up - so they aren't really shariah compliant, as they are indeed charging interest but in a round about way. Loans to consume, as opposed to loans to invest, will therefore become scarce. People will have to save up and actually earn b...

a) How will a bank attract capital without interest rates on an inelastic money supply ( gold standard )? b) Where will the average saver be, when its a given that not all venture capital investment projects succeed? After all, the average saver would be way better off when he can simply earn a lit...

Only hookers. Scores of them.

Ok, so where do you think you are going to find those willing to lend without interest? Well, if those with the capital don't invest it, it will be taxed. So these guys will invest the capital and earn real income from the economic gains they make. The state gains by taxing revenue, as well as taxi...

maybe they could have been family members of the person in the ambulance?

lol when someone is dying you will not leave a minute later for the hospital :D Sorry mate, logic is that no matter how fast I drive behind that ambulance, the person in that ambulance is not going to get better because of that. Nor will I be able to help the paramedic with telling him how slow he ...

Nope. Its the Bullet 500 Machismo. I have retro styled it a lot so it looks and feels like its original 1950's heritage.

Rob, come on guy?!! Of course the Pakistani-American who set off a fire-bomb in Times Square wasn't a religious extremist. You know, not everyone who ventures off to Pakistan and trains at a *Taliban* terrorist camp is an Islamic extremist, right? And of course, we should also ignore Mr Shahzad's o...
