Where are you then Zonker?

^^^Whats the weather like in Tehran?

It is a very strange story and I think the biggest lesson is....don't involve the police unless its really necessary. Wise words Joe. I didn't think the dubai justice system could possibly turn this story around, but they have succeeded. The police went to great lengths to set-up a sting to catch t...

Of course i wish him the best.
But they should just put both him and SBS into a cell together so they can reaquaint themselves and talk about old times together.

Ahhh, back to the simple days when the only decision you had to make were water skiing or dune bashing.

No, there are not enough arabs in Dubai to cause trouble.

I think of Brisbane as my hometown. Mainly because this is where I was born, where I usually step off the plane whenever I visit Australia, and where I have been wanting to return to ever since my family left the big smoke when I was 9. Funny thing is that I hated it at the time and it has also beco...

I thought that anyone who wanted to could claim to be British BM.

I'd be getting a copy of Shaf's passport and dockering a photo of me on there.
Or perhaps Kanelli's... but then I wouldn't have 72 virgins waiting for me would I?
Yeah, Shaf's is the way to go!

I'd even put up with an Aussie wife for those fringe benefits.

Thank Alah for 6 nations rubgy and beer. I was meant to be skiing but spent the weekend confined to indoors, whilst a blizzard raged outside. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the game also BM. The passion of these teams makes for a great rugby match (and I like seeing the French get all worked up, only...

I went to Lebanon (Mzaar) BM. Not sure if I'd go back. Went to Iran (Dizin) last year. Better snow, friendlier people, cheaper, ... but no grog.

Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen were on the BBC the other night, and they spoke about Charlie's problems. They likened it to a cancer. I thought it was rather an odd statement, bearing in mind that people have no control over whether they contract cancer. They were probably referring to smokers and...

Seems like everyone have come up with this idea at the same time. Groupon is the latest, but there have been several similar startups over the past few months. Cobone, gonabit, ad7antage.

The case was more about DW defending themselves against the initial case raised by Herve, so I see it as a win for them. DW would never have been awarded damages for what was simply a failed business venture. Herve on the other hand could have easily been awarded damages for his claims of false impr...

Also Herve from day one of joining DF has been saying what he wrote in the book was just the tip of the Ice berg and he has tons and a lot more incriminating stuff to say but can't because of the case. Now that the case is over lets see if what more there was, if anything at all. That'll be in the ...

Bethsmum wrote:Herve was the defendant in this case. There wasn't anything dodgy in his bank deposit. It was the funds from the sale of property.

So to state the obvious, why not simply tell the jury this instead of not recalling it happened?
Like his book, herve only tells one side of the story.

What are you on about Ambassador?

Every house has a landline in one form or another.

I wonder why this is?

How fast can you down a schooner of Fosters?

Since the case is over, you can also drop the persona that you are an expert engineer and are going "back to building submarines", which sounds kinda silly to me.

I don't know how to respond to your unbiased and most agreeable post BM.

A move is always a good time to declutter. I have one coming up also (cheaper rent).
Whats your reason chocs?
Your not leaving Dubai are you?

That's 2 in a row. What have they done to you?

BTW BM, In no way was this directed at you. Beth in particular sounds like a very mature and responsible lady.

I would be interested to hear the views of people on expat children when compared to their mother country counterparts.

Yeah, but its not illegal DDS.

Oh, your in Australia. Thats OK, I don't blame you for not drinking the fosters down there, tastes like cat's piss. BTW, I think you need to improve on the English/Australian before you tackle the Arabic.-- Wed Mar 02, 2011 2:34 pm -- I love cricket, my former country Bangladesh likes also cricket. ...

Bethsmum wrote:You don't sound like any Australian I've come across. You don't drink and you're frightened of your wife?

If his wife is Australian (ie white), he has good reason to be frightened.

Bethsmum wrote:I'm not a particular fan of kids really, I'm a big believer in kids should know their place. I can't be doing with cheeky kids, if any of my kids swore at me I'd drop them.

Sounds like an outdated view of kids BM, not that there is anything wrong with that.
