no no :-) I bought the car from a member of DCC and it still had the sticker in the windscreen.

Free memberships!! Are you trying to butter me up :-)

I am not a succesful businessman you know.

Oh but wait....... there's an interview "process" for those who "feel they qualify"..... oh dear - no chance there then.

Mind you, if your "qualifications" are "exceptional" you might try Emirates Golf Club..........

What arrogant tosh! As a far better man than Bollockal once said: "I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member."

And go to him for help with "references"? That would be my second preference - my first would be to be struck by lightning.

The Dubai Country Club is known for its informal family-friendly approach, and is a place where even a mere mortal like me has always been made to feel welcome (and I've never been a member!!).

I think you'll find that most of the ordinary decent families who frequent the Country Club will get along just fine without the arrogance and snobbery of clubs that will only admit you if your "qualifications" are "exceptional".

Thanks anyway.

Prat.
I've never found either of those clubs to be like that..And "qualifications" and "exceptional" were Mr Gonzalas's words, not mine.

Don't kill the messenger. Rule #17

Oh, and don't bother asking me for references The Dean. I don't care what you look like. Youre not getting a positive one from me.

What are you talking about? I love women. Always have, and probably always will.

How dare you?
