we are in Al Barsha, very handy for JEL, DH is up there most days. Depends on your budget though. 130k for a two bed in my building and there are some empty, so if you fancy having a geordie neighbour I will get you the phone number

Actually in a works staffhouse in Barsha 2 right now, and used to be in Umm Suqqeim 2 before that. Until I found a little rat run to Barsha 2, used to hate the drive home... All the cheap feckers diving off at the exit before Barsha Toll and the traffic at a crawl.....

Someone said they reckoned Emirates Rd might be ok once all the work is finished, esp. around Ranches.....

Blue Cat

I am right at that slip road, the traffic is a nightmare and oh boy the accidents!

Nowadays, I usually meet up for a wee pint after work at the Lakes club, shoot out the back gate and, within minutes, Im home.... Miss out that whole clusterf**k at that exit....

MataHari

you know there is a zero tolerance policy regarding drinking and driving...

ScotsExpat

Did I mention the pint contained an alcoholic beverage, occifer???

MataHari

is the pope Catholic...

ScotsExpat

Yeah, but a German catholic, they arent as catholicy as non-German catholics...... Same as the wee pint of Kaliber I had, its a beer but a non-alcoholic beer..

They have actually had the police stopping cars leaving the Lakes at the gates, and doing drink-drive tests as people leave....

MataHari

good on them...

Blue Cat

DH does that too !

ScotsExpat

Small world, will have to look out for him when he gets back..........

Blue Cat

ScotsExpat

S'funny, coz its usually my cousin at Weatherford I meet up there, might kill 2 birds with one stone.....

Blue Cat
