I see you have stopped refering to the believers of your version of the story in plural. Wise move on your part. Anyway, if you use google, you'll see that this person and his appartment have a bit of history. He managed to get himself in a movie, Trekkies 2, 'selling' his appartment for 2 million p...

No no no, try reading a law text book (for just about anywhere). Contracts may be written or verbal or emailed or in some other form, except for realestate transactions which much be written to be recognized in a court of law. Realestate on ebay has always been just an expression of interest. You ne...

Well, why do you suppose he still lives in the appartment, after having 'sold it on ebay' in 1997?

Alien currency problems perhaps?

The bank won't accept Romulan talons or Klingon darseks to discharge the mortgate?

blueshift

I'm glad somebody appreciates my posts. For the sake of accuracy I googled what currency they use in Romulan and Klingon.

blueshift

No wonder the bidding didn't reach the 700k mark. The trekkies are all broke as they don't see the point in accumulating money. They are waiting for currency to become obsolete. Even the time travelling Kirk couldn't pay for the pizza with his diner date - she got stuck with the bill. Don't know the...

I'm sure he really did sell it in February when he was 54 and he aged 4-5 years since February. Some people would consider that a contradiction, but not you Kanelli. You must be quite the sci fi fan.

blueshift

Well in January 24, 2012, there was a rash of articles throughout the media outlets in the UK that a poor dejected Star Trek fan is being forced to demolish his creation and home by his ex-wife. Some of the less trusting point out that nobody is offering an explanation as to why it took 10 years for...

Maybe you had older siblings growing up who did similar things. All I'm doing is reducing your rhetoric to absurdity. If a set of assertions, when taken to their logical conclusion form an absurdity, then one or more of the assertions is apparently wrong. This is a principle of rhetoric that goes ba...

I could go on, but 'have a nice day' is clearly meant as a conversation ender as you are in no mood to continue this discussion.

blueshift

I may not be the most tactful person in the world, but I don't resort to name calling.

I'm not sure why you are clinging to the idea that he's not there any more. It's not like he sold it on ebay recently.

I don't think any car sellers are importing hybrid vehicles into the gulf. Someone would need to personally import one of these vehicles from Europe or the US.

Bora Bora ,

Birthers speculate that he is a US citizen born outside the US, therefore inelligible to serve as president of the US in accordance with US constitutional law.

I remember a time when you used to be able to buy aftermarket sunroofs in K Mart. That was a long time ago now. There was a time when any mechanic or body shop would just cut open the roof of a car and drop in a sunroof. In these days of corporate insurance and litigation, I'm surprised anyone still...

I went to Herz last time I needed a rental car. There were no problems with them. I would steer clear of the small operators here. There are a lot of crooks and con men in the car rental business - some of them routinely over charge customers for phantom fines. I have my own car rental horror story....

Depends on what model car you want. The cheapest is around 700 AED for 1 week.

And Australia used to be such a peaceful place. I think the police were taken by surprise by how violent the rioters were. Usually in a protest in Australia, people just hold up carbord signs, these wooden poles the rioters were using for signs are easily converted to melee weapons. Very few police ...

It's hard to imagine what this sexual harassement involves.

Apparently this sexual harrasement is linked to the high incidence of HIV. The authors of the study don't seem to consider that there are other ways to contract HIV besides having carnal knowledge of a woman.

For some Muslim at least, laws come only from god - people can't make laws and the society lead by the profit Mohammed in the 7th century was perfect and cannot be improved on.

For people who think like this, then it's fine for a man to rape his wife and marry a child.

I wouldn't be too worried about the cost of treatment BM, it seems like money well spent. The Taliban has little to fear from military action because they have such a high tollerance of casualties. Presumably they want to die to get their 72 virgins. The only thing they are afraid of is that Afgan g...

There's nothing illegal here. This is a matter between the CEO and the owners of the company. If you know about this, then it's pretty certain that the owners of the company know about this. If it is done with the knowledge of the owners of the company then there is no crime. A person can't steel so...

Yet another real estate scam - this could happen to any one renting in Dubai. A realestate agent rents out an appartment. 6 months later the appartment owner claims he was not authorised to lease the property. It's just too easy for honest people to lose their money. http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/ua...

Well, if you want to buy a Rolex, you have to go to a Rolex dealer. Nobody else is allowed to sell a Rolex, especially in this country. There are plenty of youtube videos of people selling fake rolexes in the souks. The same scenario plays out over and over the seller assures the buyer that it's gen...

You will have to pay a small fine when you renew. Not many people bother with doorstep renewal because the RTA centres are open till quite late at night and on Saturdays.

Having been robbed by the police here, I have a very negative view of the legal system in the UAE.

Amazon is a good way to get all kinds of stuff including poker chips. You can also set up an account with http://www.shopandship.com and they will collect your purchase from the USA and deliver it to your home or office in the UAE - it's very convenient. I bought a lot of stuff that way when I was l...
