A Silver Lining For Brits In Dubai...For How Long???

I have no respect for people who don't work.I hate laziness. I am nearly 62 and I work a 7 day week much of the year , up to 14 hours a day in summer in the UK, with 3 businesses , one of them smallish.

Now then, UAE Kid. The only reason that you don't have to work hard , is that the Arabian Gulf, or Persian Gulf as it used to be, HAPPENS to have plenty of oil and a low population because there was initially a lack of fertile farming areas to breed and sustain large populations.

The fact you HAPPEN to have oil and gas under your feet is not because of any God or Allah.......it is down to luck and GEOLOGY!!.....Full stop!

I'm an agnostic myself , and the only man who PROVED what he had to say about mankind was Charles Darwin.
No-one else has ever PROVED anything.

So the fact you locals don't have to work for a living in the Arabian Gulf areas is because, you have large amounts of oil comparitive to low populations.

I was born to WORK!!! The trouble is I carry a lot on my back through my taxes. Those that did not want to HELP BRITAIN, fled to the Arabian Gulf to earn tax free money and dodge UK taxes .
If some of them lost money out there .....TOUGH!
As for you, uae kid.......Thank your lucky stars you are not in the REAL WORLD........however, Dubai might be about to LAND IN IT!!

NO part of this world is totally divorced from the rest. Sheikh Mo has invested heavily in TOURISM........WELL THOSE TOURISTS LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD OF REAL TAXES IN OTHER COUNTRIES!!
Your country has built an infrastructure to cash in on those poor tax-paying mugs !!
Many will decide they are spending too much on tax at home, to contribute to an economy that HELPED contribute to the global crash , when it was party to the OIL PRICE HIKE TO $140 US a barrel in summer 2008 !! That sparked off this crash , which had been fuelled by highly inflated property !
NOW YOU IN DUBAI ARE GOING TO SUFFER TOO!!
AS YE SOW , SO SHALL YE REAP !!!!

Never heard of a discussion? :wink:

Its common in this world for people to join eachother in groups and say whats on their mind. Majorities have great influence in our world. UAE kid has to show he got the bullocks to stand against it.
So far, he's enjoying his comfortable lifestyle probably and typing keyboards with his we finger in his big beach signature villa.

It depends on his age (UAE kid), whether Sheik Mo will be able to support him if this world recession will hold on too long. With any good education he might find work at one point. But with this non working attitude he keeps ranting all day on DF about/against Westerners with his foreign 'brother' Muslimbangladeshi.

I have to admit...sabbatical is nice... :lol:


just having fun with you guys , nothing personal, as a matter of fact I was showing one friend of mine , a specialist in psychology , DF interesting threads that I fight in, and what he told me made me feel sorry for you really. He said ( let those ppl be, the are ppl who couldn't make anywhere else and that’s why they are here, those ppl talk more than they do and that’s why they wont progress in life and only experts in complaining a lot.

The reason I mentioned he is (western) a psychologists is because he did analyses your behavior and it was a sad one that I don't want to mention it other wise everyone will go into psychology discussion and go off track but the main point is that he said let them be, they are not harming you or your country neither any one is Listening
to them so what is all the fuzz about.



Quality post UAE! Youi do have an imagination after all.
Please get your friend to post on here. I could do with some free help....

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!!

Red Kite,

I like your attitude and your pride in your work but there are some problems with your argument:

- The uaekid is obviously not to be taken seriously. He just likes to get everyone riled up. I think he enjoys doing that. A young jokester, you know!!!

- Not all the Gulf people are lying on their backs and collecting oil revenues. There are a lot of hard working Gulf citizens to be found in all the Gulf countries. Some work as hard as you. I’ve seen that myself!!

-The UK expats in the Gulf are not all running away from paying taxes at home. Many are here for personal and professional reasons (adventure, work transfer, better opportunities, the weather, romantic reasons…etc).

- The party in Dubai has quieted down but it’s not over. Dubai has not and will not die. Too much has been invested in Dubai by the locals and by the foreigners for it to be left to die. The current slump will only present buying opportunities. Come down here in a few months and get a piece of the pie for half price!!!! When you sell later on, you can retire in the Bahamas!!!

Cheers!!

Whoehahah c'mon man, where do you get it from... :lol: :lol: :lol:

First of all, we have fun with you and your rants against us. Thats why this is, truth be told, so low key.
Secondly, the matter of the fact is this friend of yours, the Western shrink, probably doesn't know how you think about Westerners the way you do. So If you stopped the elbow crap, and told him how you really think of his family and friends in the 'West'...I think he stopped the psycho talk instantly and get a cricket bat to hurt you ... :twisted:

We love to see that happen, don't we fellas :lol:

UAE kid,
YOU might be playing around, but it is becoming a VERY SERIOUS WORLD out there and not only in the UK . There were RIOTS on the streets of Paris tonight . Oil refinery workers were demonstrating in North east England about jobs being given to Italians in the UK .
STRIKES ARE COMING BACK!

Don't be arrogant !! I saw Piers Morgan's sickening ,sycophantic programme on Dubai tonight which had a lot of LIES in it. If you listened to MOST on that ITV programme you'd think Dubai was DOING VERY WELL ....and recession proof!! One guy who edits HOT 100 said his villa on Palm Jumeirah was worth SIX TIMES what he paid for it........WHAT....NOW??? When was that filmed?
The man was talking rubbish. Property has dropped!
IF DUBAI IS NOT A PLAYGROUND FOR THE WEST, THEN WHAT IS IT???
If the west is in turmoil........DUBAI SUFFERS !!
Look at the VOLUME of housing and flats that are going to FLOOD the MARKET between 2010 and 2015 ???

Who said "Retire to the Bahamas after profiting in Dubai "?
Speculation in Dubai now is more likely to lead to BANKRUPTCY!!

Dubai properties could be MUCH CHEAPER IN 2017 THAN THEY ARE NOW!!

The programme said that Abu dhabi had given Dubai £9 BILLION STERLING recently !! Not a good sign, is it !!
Then Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim said there was $300 BILLION DOLLARS of development in Dubai.

Well, since a lot of it is less than half finished SOMEBODY has got to pay to FINISH IT!!
HOW MANY BILLIONS TO FINISH IT?? WHO PAYS??

If Dubai is ALREADY ON ABU DHABI HAND-OUTS , it does not look too good for the future.
Maybe you'll need to get a job, kid!

GREED IS A TERRIBLE THING!! I watched the GREAT WALL STREET CRASH OF 1929 LAST NIGHT.
What caused it? UNBRIDLED SPECULATION FOR 9 YEARS PREVIOUSLY........when the good times kept rolling !!! PROFLIGACY WAS RAMPANT IN THE ROARING TWENTIES .
Then.....BANG....the bubble burst..........OVERNIGHT!!
FROM PROSPERITY TO ABJECT POVERTY .....it had been done on BORROWED MONEY ......and OVERDONE!!

I hope that that giant spike called Burj Dubai is not the problem.
Has it gone so high into the sky ,that it has BURST THE BUBBLE SURROUNDING DUBAI ????

Relax ??

You'll see "relax" in Dubai before long !! The recession is only STARTING !

Who is going to buy all the property and holiday there in NUMBERS?
It needs CHEAP FLIGHTS and CHEAP ACCOMMODATION for starters , to even stand a chance of competing in tourism.
Why pay for a long flight to Dubai when it is nicer in France Spain and the Canaries on 2 to 4 hour CHEAP flights?

Just as well that Abu Dhabi exists! It needs a BIG FAT CHEQUE to bail out SPENDTHRIFT DUBAI!!

UAE Kid,

Why don't you respond?

If your country has blown all its oil wealth on UNFINISHED real estate, then relies on tourism , it is in for a big SHOCK!!

Tourism is very competitive, OIL IS NOT!!
If you have oil under your feet, you have a huge advantage without having to be clever.
Tourism is very different!!
Just as well that Abu Dhabi is wealthy !! Dubai has been PROFLIGATE!!
Places like Dubailand may not work!!
The main School holidays are in AUGUST !! How can kids go to Dubai in August??

Do a little more research and you may discover that DUBAI does NOT have OIL in any great quantity, the OIL WEALTH of the UAE is firmly situated in ABU DHABI.

the dollar will continue to decline (it already has) in 2009 but so will the pound and the euro. one thing we all have to remember that foreign currency flux is all relative to the strength of one against the other. in today's global recession we are all going down together, however countries with core fundamental strength (i.e india) will gain. the rupee was 50 to a dollar just a month ago. today it is Rs. 44 to $1 USD - case in point

The exchange rate still has a way to go before it gets below it lowest ever point. Thats was back in the 80's when Pound almost reached parity with the Dollar.

sorry I was away for someday... now lets see what we got here .
1-it is idiomatic to say it is the country that has blown wealth in real estate, those are privet businesses daaaa UAE has invested its wealth in buying your countries ! don't you read the news sir ?
and for the rest of your questions they are not proper to me and I don't understand a thing of it. know how to ask a proper question then post it.
