A reliable construction company in the UAE?

If you find that, along the way you will have no doubt found the following solutions:
- world peace
- third world hunger
- eternal youth
- why you fall over after drinking a bottle of vodka

Default Re: Construction Company

I know plenty of construction companies but none I would recommend to anybody on here...do what others do and check out the boards on nearly completed project sites.

Try drinking a bottle of finnish vodka. You fall over while sitting down.

If you've ever been to Northern Finland you would know why they drink it.
Its not the end of the world, but you can definitely see it from there..

In Finnish ambulances, they don't bother with carrying resuscitation equipment for cardio cases - couple of swigs of the vodka soon brings them back to life.
