Chose my partner over 30 years ago, and have no clue how this happens. We were so young and thought we were in love at the time, however, when you are young how does one know?

What, and he's now suffering for it? hahahahahahahaha j/k

Then I am not sure. can you not take it back to the dealership, ask them to give you a quote for it?

what did Dentmaster quote you?

The forecast is for rain again today.

It really depends on the Topic and the discussion therein, but overall, no.

Why you change ya AV?

Its obviously that time of the month again.

Answers in Red :wink: :wink: Here's how it is... By arab i mean all the countries in the gulf... UAE local as well. once i (bangali) and a friend of mine (pakistani)... were hanging out together in Al wahda, sharjah... we were sitting by a building, an arab lady (egyptian) came by to park her car......

Just heard that with effect from 1st january 2007, all expats holding DL's that automatically alowed them to transfer to a UAE one i.e. Brits, yanks etc, will NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO SO

This means that everyone will now have to sit the UAE DL test!

Can anybody confirm this?

Sounds to me like the RTA want everyone to drive like a bunch of TWATS, not just the ones who have to sit the test here! S&O being the exception of cos

Hahahahahaha, obviously has not taken into account any land reclamation then!

So, is the RX350 equipped with underwater breathing apparatus?

James Bonds car in Octopussy springs to mind.

You obviously do not read what has been written in the previous posts!

What the friggin heck is Blackberry? Is it something like the frogs wear on their heads?

Yeah, I like it too. well funny.

I would imagine the old rooster caught up to him and gave him a good old peck on his a$$ for his troubles.

I make sure I read posts before quoting them

So it'll be a bigger hassle for all of us who do have driver's licences from the States and Europe. In my opinion it was discriminatory to make those who have licenses from any continent/country aside from the special few do a driving test. Why should this be the case at all?? So we have a bunch of...

Drive or fly, hence the AV, which in the former case is appropriate.

And yorky as you have said, those countries that were exempted from the beggining have stricter and very professional standards, which means their driving skills are good, so there should be no prob test or no test ayt! :wink: Thats the problem Zam, we will most likely be failed as we are better th...

Ok, here we go: 1) dress as casual as you can cos it will get messy later in the day. Suggest t-shirts, shorts and trainers, 2) taxis are the best. I know that certain drinking establishments around town organise buses, but not 100% sure, 3) BP stand is the larniest and most boisturious of the two s...

Oh, sorry, I forgot to cover the "turning pink" bit. A hat is good, but you may lose it later on, also, sunnies are a must, but try and keep it to your cheap pair, you may end up losing them as well! All of this depends on how much beer you are drinking :lol: Pink, why, thats a great briti...

Fayz,

been twice to the Dubai one, 2004 & 2005. The 2004 one was as described above, 2005 was more reserved in the hosptality Boxes, but sadly, I will not be going this year.

Also, went to 7 no. Hong Kong 7's events. They were far better, but Dubai is catching up quickly.

Actually scott1870, I did not register that you are a sweatie ( :lol: :lol: ). There are a great group of scots that all sit together. A few of them wear kilts and little else and have the blue war paint aka mel gibson. These guys are a real hoot and have a lot of fun (I mean, the rugby team is crap...

You should have a great time. You will meet lots of nice and interesting people who are there for both the rugby and the "crack" so to speak. First day is always good just to walk around, finding out what is what and where the best place is to sit for the finals the next day. There's not m...

Obviously, the faster one travels, the great the down pressure on the rear spoiler therefore pushing the arse end of the car down onto the road. This will give you more grip. You may or may not have noticed that Porsche rear spoilers (in some cars) only appear when the car is travelling at higher sp...

Anti-smoking guru Allen Carr has died of lung cancer at the age of 72. Mr Carr was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer in the summer. He was a heavy smoker with a 100-a-day habit before giving up over 20 years ago and making a name for himself helping others do the same. But friends say that the y...

I totally agree with you Chocs. It did get out of order from what I saw (sitting in the posh boxes). The 7's is not just a piss up, it is a family event and a lot of people do take their kids. I am glad that they have set up a family area, but one whole stand?

Noni,

Just search the internet for hotels in Dubai. There are plenty around, I mean it.

If you are going to be working on Airport Road, then may I suggest that you look for something in Deira area, Al Qusais, etc. You will sane a lot of time and money on taxis.

Defo option 2!

S&O, don't just restrict that to Dubai. It happens all over the world and at every sporting event.

Not going to ask who that is!
