Lol bell biv divoe that brings back childhood memories

Despots are in power because they take advantage of the situation and escalate it...the people have not voluntarily chosen such leaders, even in sham elections...its the chicken egg scenario...which came first the despots or the extreme suffering...but one thing is for sure they need help, whoever's...

Nik

Well the manner of your asking is offensive to one who takes their beliefs seriously ... and your tone continues in the last message...using a term like d*** in the context of a god...and then laughing implying 'hehehe look at that'... here's a tip : easiest test to see if something you say is offen...

Nik

What about all the high profile international buyers in the palms...like David Beckham and Julio Iglesias....what rules govern the nature of their acquisition? Am sure no one here has the cojones to screw them over

[quote="Liban"]Never really undersood the enlish expression of Devil's advocate...[/quote] If I remember correctly, its originally a religious term interestingly enough...when someone was up for sainthood (canonization), there would be a formal discussion where the reasons in favour of the...

If its cheap you want, stay in Sharjah...you should easily be able to find a small apartment for that rate....but of course the trade off is you're gonna have to do a lot of driving/commuting...not that the distance is much, but the traffic is crazy, considering everyone has the same idea ie; stay i...

[quote="Liban"]None taken. If an Indian has a western passport, say a Canadian one, then this person is in a much better position than his compatriot with only an Indian passport. Its logical, people from Arab and Western countries (regardless of their ethnicity) are usually much more bett...

Ok the cheapest one I've heard of is the one at the Sofitel City Centre Hotel...last I heard was 1500 for 6 months including tennis courts (or I might be mixing it up with squash courts)... If you want a package that includes classes etc. you could try the Nautilus Academy in Musalla towers, you'd d...

Nik

Ok for arguments sake, lets say the last thing someone should do is give aid to Africa....what is the alternative course of action then? Overthrow the despots with the help of foreign powers? Remember what happened in Iraq? Saddam Hussein was an undesirable despot as well, but even removing him left...

Nik

I loved the movie too! The comic book look and film noir was awesome! Plus I'm a sucker for narration over scenes :) The gore factor was a bit over the top but made for good black comedy I must admit....Robert Rodriguez chose to share directing duties with Frank Miller, the guy who wrote the graphic...

Nik

Well hopefully by august it should be a bit better....its not usually as humid as its been this year...usually more of dry heat...but yeah its pretty bad...thank god for air conditioning though eh?

Nik

Look I don't mean to be insensitive...you obviously are closer connected to this atrocity than me since its your home country choc, and your anger is totally justifiable, but I just find it odd that people who have made their way as expatriates should ask for more restrictions on people coming into ...

Nik

Not so fast! Ok lets just go for it...this Fri or next Sun, Shochos retro night...cheesy music...awesome fun!

What about you Pumpkin figure you can make it down from AD?

Nik

[quote="Pumpkin Escobar"]City of God, Ong Bak, CB4[/quote]

Lol CB4...that was a funny movie! rap mockumentary, wonder why no one has tried to make one of those recently...hmm it had either chris tucker or chris rock in it right? before they became famous

Nik

Well apart from the exceptions Liban gives, I'd say eating on the go is a big part of the lifestyle here, definitely not something objected to

Nik

yep thats IBO formerly known as Terminal at the Millenium Airport Hotel...They've always been out of the ordinary as a club, and now on Mondays they've started screening films....and not your run of the mill popcorn films that you see at movie nights at other venues...just stopped off their today wh...

Nik

Cmon dude give him a break...he's a newbie...no need to get all hyper :) [quote="mAJOR pAIN"] dude your scary !!!!! you dont really have to write your post in a "administrative" way or !!! dont post like a secretary for crying out loud !!!!! just post a reply on the original thread !!! don...

[quote="Trinny"]Dubai better watch out because 25 Irish guys and girls are heading to dubai to work for a year! Bring it on!!!!!![/quote]

25?? Its like Gangs Of New York for the 21st Century

Nik

Ok I don't really care where we meet up as long as we do meet up...The first q is are weekdays ok for people? And if so what time? I myself am tending towards Sunday night at ShoChos at about 10...but if anyone has any better suggestions lets put them in the air right away and decide...coz we don't ...

Nik

Well its not as bad as it sounds...yes Etisalat does censor the internet in the sense they have a proxy which restricts access to certain sites...but thats about the extent of their interference...plus I guess if you stay somewhere near Ski Dubai (in one of the Emaar properties), your internet is li...

Nik

Ok guys thought I'd start a new topic following on from the 'Houseparty' thread, since that seems to be gettin buried...As y'all know we're supposed to meet up in July, and doesn't seem to be getting off the ground...so lets just try to wing it...Am gonna be at Sho Chos today at 10 PM ...80s night.....

Nik

[quote="Pumpkin Escobar"]That's like making a Jamican Bobsledding Team, it's crazy.........

I love that movie!

At the last company I worked in the situation got quite farcical...After employees protested against handing over their passports, the company made it a policy that either the labour card OR the passport must be in the company's possession at all times...and people preferred handing over their passp...

Nik

Well I think Arabian Nights makes for great stories, can't discredit stuff coz they were made into Disney movies, else we might have to tell the likes of Victor Hugo they're not considered serious writers The Rubaiyat by Omar Khayyam is famous...Hmm for contemporary Arab writers go for Naguib Mahfou...

Nik

Interesting basis for a question sniper...hope I've got the gist of it right...what happens to faith when one comes face to face with evidence to the contrary? And I don't mean religion in particular...Am sure its more than just a case of amending one's beliefs and carrying on, must have a huge psyc...

Nik

Lol its no coincedence that the ironic Cold War term Mutually Assured Destruction(referring to why nuclear weapons made a good deterrent) can be abbreviated to the acronym M.A.D. ...because that's exactly what it is...going nuclear is never directed at one country in particular, its a guarantor of w...

Nik

Yep agree totally choc I think 'near death experiences' are because of the chemical cocktail our nervous system whips up at moments of stress...not to mention that our brain probably subconsciously copycats the near death experience we would expect to see after hearing about the door/white light sce...

Nik

Hmm wasn't castellano in another thread asking whether anyone was lookin to hire a drummer? Course not sure he'd wanna just jam if its his livelihood...can also check out www.phride.com...what kind of music do you guys play?

Nik

Look abs, its my humblest request that you abandon this thread and this line of argument, coz it can turn sour very soon...Wherever we're from and whatever we do, we're here to consolidate our similarities not polarize ourselves further by pointless argument...this is not constructive at all...Lets ...
