Default Good, Bad and Ugly - Dubai

The good news: been offered a job in Dubai.

The bad new: I dont know anyone at all over there! :scared: has anyone made the big push Dubai by coming over on there own? Would love to know if you are happy...or if you have developed a drink problem. Or if you are happy with a drink problem?

I dont really know much about the place as my feet didnt touch the ground when I was being interviewed.

The ugly news: I will miss my pet penguin.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Also whats this I hear about Tampax Towers??

I've considered your post and would have loved to help you out but I seriously believe you need professional help. Hope you get some.

hmm even though i am waiting with baited breath to hear if i will in Media City this time next month i am very concerned that the above indivdual could also be in Media City.

If I see a bloke at a bar with Pingu then will be taking very cautious steps reversing out of the bar with him in the field of vision at all times and then calling the Medics so they can help him.

So where will you be leaving poor pingu then?? Have you considered Edinburgh Zoo. The penguins there are very well cared for...even get taken for walks twice daily. Well worth considering.

There are a massive number of clubs out here, so there's bound to be many that tickle your fancy. There was a rain party at one of them earlier this month (with artificial rain!)...could you imagine that in the UK?..mind you, would probably need to be a sunshine party to get any takers, i suppose

You need to get your hands on a copy of Time Out magazine once your out here and maybe "Connector" too....in fact, buy the "Dubai Explorer" aswell and your sorted!
