beg to differ...unprocessed tobacco isnt as harmful as a ciggerette...whose ingredients include tar and cynide among so many more compunds that would make you think real hard....but then i am a fool who has the vice unfortunately...working on reducing and quitting...started the nicotine gums...give you one whopper of a headache as a side effect...

.........and to prove my point:

"Many people consider sheesha t be less harmful than smoking cigarettes. But according to a study conducted at King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah, sheesha can be even more harmful. Sheesha smokers absorb more carbon monoxide than do cigarette smokers, putting themselves at greater risk for coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis and chronic respiratory disease. It can also retard fetal growth.

Sheesha smokers using charcoal have higher levels of carbon monoxide in their blood than those using an electrical device. Carbon monoxide absorption is greatly increased when sheesha is smoked just prior to sleeping. Even minimal exposure to carbon monoxide is known to be harmful and people who smoke sheesha as little as once a day put themselves at risk. According to the study 15 minutes of smoking sheesha is equivalent to smoking one cigarette. The researchers defined a ‘smoker’ as anyone who smoked 15-30 grams of jurak each day.

A study conducted on adult males suggests that sheesha smoking may be responsible for abnormal changes in their chromosomes. Another study concluded that regular sheesha smokers carry a risk of deforming their teeth. And although not proven, it is suspected that sheesha smoking may lead to cancer."

and a sheesha lasts all of 45 mins...thats 3 ciggies a day...i'd take that option over 10 a day mate!!...but but but...you know what...both are harmful and both are bad habits...at the end of the day theres nothing to justify it but the fact that its a personal choice or perogative...so defending this habit would be stupidity for me...

[Liban]

What you fail to realize is that with a sheesha you do not inhale at all.... This eliminates 99% of the study's findings...

yeah u r right, it both hurts our future well being, but u know what we still smoke it though ha ha so here cheers to good health!

[Liban]

I spoke to security in my building.

They will authorize me holding a pool side event under the following guidlines:

1) No alcohol
2) No loud music

The pool and jacuzzi will both be open for us to use. There are also lawn furniture for us to sit on. We just need a BBQ.

I would also ask that we keep it open to the building security so if they wish to have some food and drink they can since they authorized this for us

Liban

[aduberdu]

for me anything is fine.......untill u decide it and jus let me know!!

[fayz]

First I'd like to thank everyone for replying and keeping it Civil.

Majority rules, so it'll be the weekend of March 3rd and a Shisha venue as that seems to work best for most people.

I just need to get a place organized for us, I'll PM/Post venue and time soon.

Look forward to meeting up with you all.

[Intimacy]

Heyy.. thank God.. we finally agree on something here . just kidding guys.


- Liban... thats a kind gesture of you mate

- Fyaz, keep it up mate, thats the spirit

[hetherjw]

Fyaz,

for the self proclaimed laziest man you are doing a bang-up job of getting something together. I will offer my help for anything you need. I may even be able to drive someone to the event.

Weekend of the 3rd works out perfectly for me. PM if there is anything I can do to help.

Liban: very kind of you, and security, to offer up your building!

[fayz]

Okay so here we go, I hope you can all make it.

March 3rd
8pm
Shisha Place in the Dubai Marina

It is a nice open venue that is pretty chilled, easy place to talk, socialize and not overly pricey.

I ask that if you are coming just to send me a quick PM, friends, family are welcome, I just need to know roughly how many people to expect to ensure that seating is adequate.

Look forward to meeting you all soon.

I know Dubai tradition states that whoever invites treats but in this regard I say viva le Dutch!!

[uas]

nice ... so i guess its on now .. ehhh... but wat abt the date.... ne changes possible 24th Feb... or is it too short of a notice..... cuz i might be goin to "SUDAN" ( yes its sudan) for a project ... from 25 to 3rd march

But newyz its a good start .... keep it up guyz (y)

cheers...

[liverpool4ever]

Umm, what about the 4th, same place & time?

[XRW-147]

Tough titties for these wingers that want to tag their comments and suggestions along now. Fayz has already gone through the time and trouble of organizing what would suit the majority. There's always next time if you can't make this one.

[MaaaD]

ya gotta give the man props ...

wont be in town, but will try to make it to the next one.

enjoy it and take lots of pics

[fayz]

Just a friendly bump and a reminder looking forward to meeting you all, if you've yet to PM me please do so, it is open to all.

[smartd]

interesting...

Cheers,

D

[hetherjw]

Fayz... or anyone really... what is the name of the place? I am confident in the getting to Dubai Marina and I am sure I can track the meet up down, but a name would help.

Thanks.

[easternjewel]

can some1 guide the poor me? from jumeira

[Liban]

OK. Very easy. Lets say you are coming from Dubai side... Which is to say passing the first, second, third interchanges. Emirates Mall is the third interchange. The next one is right after DIC, American Univeristy and co... When you see the Hard Rock Cafe you will see an exit right after (4th interchange). Take it. There is a fork. Keep to the left. Go straight.

Pass light one. Go straight.

At second light, turn left.

Keep to the left. At light, turn left.

Keep to the right. At light, turn right. 20 meters or so down you will see a roundabout. All arond it there is parking. This is the Parking for ther Marina Walk.

Get out of your car and onto the walk. In the center of the walk is a water fountain. The sisha place is right by the fountain, tyou cannot miss it.

Ciao!

[easternjewel]

I will thank you Liban once I get there without any hassle

[XRW-147]

Either that or come straight down Beach road all the way to the Marina. You'll go through one set of lights and the Meridien hotel will be on the right. You'll be at the point of Liban's directions where you need to stay to the left and take the next set of lights.

[hetherjw]

thanks liban and xrw!

see you both tonight?

[arniegang]

Along the al soufah road i reckon is easier, then just hang a left at lights by Meridian Mina Seyai - basically XRW's suggestion. Libans is ok as well, but the temporary exit by the Hard rock cafe is a nightmare with traffic

or

there is now a new exit past int 5 that takes you to the rear end of the marina and puts you on the upper road and back along to marina walk,

[easternjewel]

Along the al soufah road i reckon is easier, then just hang a left at Meridian Mina Seyai

Its the same place where there is lot of construction going on right?
So if i take a left from Le.M. That'l take me to marina walk?
