God help us if the philippino guy doesn't win, because it will be followed by the most unprecedented amount of whining the world has ever seen. Blimey, I can sense another blow-up! No comment! :lol: But in all honesty Med, since you have made the remark, Filipinos - generally speaking - are not reg...

Damn!

I just spoke to the manager at Tiya Maria, Chelsea Hotel.

They are NOT showing the Pacquiao fight!!!

I hope to god I can find another place. If anybody does know a club or bar which is showing it, LIVE, please update us...

Aaaaaarghhh!!!! DaWarrior, I'm gonna kill you!!! :evil: So here I am, been waiting to download this fight all morning. And of course, I've been avoiding any news/results of the fight - you know, looking forward to watching it and finding out myself. What happens? DaWarrior sends me a text message ( ...

Sorry burton, didn't intend to ruin it for you. :roll: Thought you were able to subscribe pay-per-view. Nah, jus kidding. :wink: Anyway, am not really sure if I missed much - the reports I am getting say the fight was poor, definitely one to forget...Barrera happy just to survive and Pacquiao showi...

Alright gents, let's lighten up a bit...what did you all get up to? Went on one of those evening dhow cruises last night - you know, 110 AED for a buffet dinner etc... Really not my cup of tea. Food average at best plus eating at sea/on the water just puts me right off. Actually felt like throwing u...

Played Fight Night Round 3 last night, I picked Joe Frazier as my fighter and that skinny chump Paquio or whatever his name is as the opponent (and by "opponent" I mean punching bag) just for the fun of it. It was a slaughter. Each of Frazier's overwhelming blows resulted in jaw-dropping ...

Any random violence at the bars, night clubs, malls etc. Or is it all sweet and light. Be there in a month. Nope , no violence at shopping malls. The mall is the last place you will see violence in Dubai. The malls here are a bit different to your average town/city center or indoor shopping arcade ...

Sounds like:

1) A rubbish 80's ice cream or lolly
2) A bad 80's space invader arcade game



(apologies mate, am not being rude! Just mean it in a good 'thinking about when we were young' kind-of-way!)

DaWarrior speaks the truth! (unfortunately)

Hi guys Just thought I'd give my two cents on the topic and also let everyone know what is going on: This week marks my second week of training in Pekiti Tirsia Kali (PTK) under the instruction of DaWarrior. The group currently consists of three people, Da included. I know that Da is looking to grow...

I am looking for nice Scandinavian wedding gown for my wife (Soon :-)). I found this webbshop and wonder if anyone here have bought from them? http://www.bluecrownfashionwebbshop.com Hello Anders! I haven't heard of this webbshop but I can give you one piece of advice: Go to The Bridal Room - locat...

A moving target, is always a hard target and that is why footwork is essential. Sup Da! Yep, the Kali footwork is very different to other martial arts. It takes a bit of getting used to. But, it's also a helluva lot more logical. I can definitely see this from the knife work we've been doing - the ...

Lol! Med, you're quite funny mate. Either you are:

1) Blatantly taking the piss, or
2) Admitting that you know nothing about boxing.

If it's the first one, by all means keep it up. I can take a laugh!

Not much to report really. Had lots of grand plans of getting away (best mate went to Singapore, brother to the Maldives.bastards) but that didn't happen. Pretty uneventful. Although ended up in the Chelsea Hotel last night with a steaming platter of sisig and a plate of crispy pata. That saved my E...

Lol!

Pulmini(?) is nice but I agree Fayz, the world bland does spring to mind.
Gimme a bit of spice anyday!

Oh my god, i missed crispy pata and spicy sisig. I will have those when i come home in december. 1st day of Eid: I slept for 12 hours and be lazy the whole day. I missed being lazy, not brushing my teeth, not taking a bath, not combing my hair. Just home alone and comfy all day long. 2nd day of Eid...

1st day Friday BBQ a few friends over.
2nd day Saturday few odd jobs around the house shopping etc.

Hold on a minute, that's what we do on a weekend, heyyyyyyyyyy, where did my Holiday go?????????????

i know what you mean mate...

it is great that there is no violence here, even raised/aggravated voices are rare, makes me miss the 'i'll nut you just for looking at me' mentaility of good old 'up north' england! kind of generates a society of weaklings tho Very true mate. I mean, I'll take that over the other option any day bu...

arnie,
the geezer who introduced you to that stunning recipe....are you sure he wasn't so much russian as just a plain alcoholic??

Well, it's been a long time coming... Over the last 8 or so years, they gradually stopped places from smoking outside. I used to enjoy having a puff on Al Diyafa... Arax (Sidra), Evonax, and that other little place opposite Al Mallah, but like I said, they put a stop to that... I used to smoke shish...

Damn this is hard. I dunno, maybe (and in no particular order): 1 Carlito's Way 2 Heat 3 The Bad Lieutenant 4 Drunken Master 5 Out of Sight 6 The Seven Samurai 7 Yojimbo 8 Buffalo 66 9 Mishima 10 The Usual Suspects But then I want to add things like Breakdance, The Breakfast Club, Wierd Science... a...

Saw it last night. Didn't Like it. I thought it had great potential, especially considering the cast. And to be fair, Christian Bale and Russel Crowe put in good peformances. But, without giving it away, my main gripe was the final denouement! I just felt the ending was too far fetched, too unbeliev...

Have just read the story in Gulf News. Un-friggin-believable. For those of you who don't know, some guy is in court facing a possible jail sentence/deportation(?) because of a sticker on his car windshield. And yes, the sticker read 'Kiss My ...' It seems some holier than thou jobsworth type objecte...

you cant help it can you? every post you make its a complain cant you just take it easy for once. The country has its laws, nobody is forcing you to like it Nah Bleaks, not at all! Most of my posts have been about boxing, kali, Satwa and 'what people do on the weekend'. Not a complaint in sight... ...

I just call it like I see it. That's what we all do, right?

I thought it was a shit ty story. I still do.

Good question actually. The paper report put just that - dot. dot. dot . So that's how I took it! Of course, if the offending word were printed out, then I take my rant back. That's clear breach of law. But I can imagine the same scenario with just the dots, ie some bloke getting upset over a half-f...

Hi Oskar!

It was good to finally meet up. Am glad we have another escrimador in our group!

Yep, guess we'll see you at the weekend sometime...

Oh, and keep milking that sympathy!

Calling someone a 'towel-headed idiot' is racist. That's bang out of order. And I certainly don't have any sympathy for someone like that. I agree, the sticker is/was totally naff and more to the point, against the law. I am not suprised that the bloke ended up in court, and a fine would be very app...
