Do you guys in Dubai not have the 'holes in the wall' that we have here? I don't have a licence and my fridge is full of booze :thumbup: Might not be after tonight though!! lol

just go to your local spinney's and there will be an MMI or A&E shop there. go in and they will give you the form.

better off driving down to Barracuda during the weekend and stocking up. prices are 30-40 cheaper than in Dubai.

Oh ok. Another plus point for Abu Dhabi!
However i think the bars and nights out are better in Dubai. Might have to come for a beer or two sometime :thumbup:

Thanks but I have the parents over then, but I will do next time. Keep me informed plz. I'll need to find a cheap taxi or a cheap hotel to crash the night. I don't fancy driving home after a few beers

spugsy, it is still worth getting your licence even if you buy from barracuda, cos if you get stopped, god forbid, then you will be done if you don't have a licence...

there's also a website that delivers booze...

MM, xx

Is it? ;)


Easy to spend it you stock up for a few weeks. We take it in turn with friends to do a run so it all works out quite economical.
