A complete waste of time taking 26 days to Allude to the awful, Bring to life the base, Clarify the crazy, Describe the dire, Expose the excessive extravagance, Frame the foul, Give you an idea about the gross and grandiose, Hale the horrific, Illustrate the inexpressible, Jot down the jeopardies, Keynote the knavery, Label the lamentable, Make clear the malevolent, Narrate the nefarious, Outline the outrageous, Put into words the periculous, Quote the queer, Reveal the reprehensible, Symbolise the sinking, Tell of the toxic, Understand the unspeakable, Villify the vexatious, Write of the woe, eXtoll the execrable, Yawn at the yucky, and shout ‘Zounds at the zaniness.

Actually, I quite like the place.

Agreed - it would take something very special (job-wise) to get me back there now.

Of course it can still be a 'fun' place to live (though decreasingly so for work), but so can many other places, and the pervading pessimism (justified in my view) is palpable.

I just wonder ..if you all hate it so much why do you stay?
You can't dislike all of Dubai surely? After all atleast you have a job here and for most of the year the weather in the evenings is lovely.
But hey ho! here we go again..another "Dubai Bashing" thread
