LU stinks horribly and you got to keep stand most of the time. in summers its worse with no airconditioning.
you cant compare it to sitting in the comfort of your own car smelling nice and good. there are traffic jams though but its worthwhile when compared. :wink:

Not for me, I prefer to hold my breath for a while, anyways sometimes you are close to someone who really smells good.

Traffic jams, nightmare for me, I hate them.

2. you realise you are left with no money when your credit is rejected at the supermarket. Even if you buy milk or eggs, if your credit card is completely max out, it is...
3. you waste precious time which could have been used for something more entertaining and productive. Walla I am more entertaining when Im drunk
4. your health suffers, skin loses its sheen and shine Who said so? When your drunk everyone looks beautiful! :lol:
5. you may end up in jail. most crimes happen when people are drunk. wont argue with that one but even with doing nothing, you can be jailed in here!
6. it could be the last time you are driving your car. anytime could be your last time, GOD only knows , so enjoy life
7. it could destroy relatioships It creates relationship also!
8. you age quickly Your ageing but enjoying life! which do you prefer?
9. lastly in some cases your performance can suffer its the other way around :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

so why drink at the first place?
better drink milk and honey... :wink:


Dale just for fun! :lol:

Thats rubbish....

People in London are much more cheerful than in Dubai...The only 2 places and times when people are unfriedly there are when they are on a mission in Sainsbury or tescos or during rush hour

Dude, what now? Any change in your opinion?
Everyone smiles here submissively as long as you tip them decently, except for the sad pale skin frustrated expats [nasty grin]

I find it not to different to most of the world - some people will smile back, others will just stare at you blankly.

Apart from Thailand - those people just love smiling which is why it got the name 'Land of Smiles'.
