irish village... well why not. Food as well without costing an arm and a leg basically. hoild on why don't we all just go to Vu's then Face can mortgage house and car!!!! lol

am out on 25oct so I am guessin that the start of Nov seels more realistic.

Will have a look at the dates people are about and lets start saying the following Thursday nights?

Say which one in the voting post...
Voting done.

All I know is that the complex has 8 residential buildings- 14 stories each, with a total of 612 flats up for grabs. It is located on Doha Street, just off Junction 1 and will be right opposite Dubai Mall and the Burj Dubai in the future. Etisalat has a reasonably sized office behind the complex.......resembles a giant pink cube.

U can get more details on the complex by checking out their site:
http://www.smehboob.com/portinternational1.html

Pics of the complex under construction:

As for all that cab talk........drop it. I will have to insist on picking u up. That wud make the ride to our chosen venue alot more entertaining! No buts, I insist.

Oct 25th......hmmmmmmm........lets give u a realistic overview of the weather that will be waiting to greet u on the day:

Sunrise: 6:22 AM
Sunset: 17:43 PM
Max. Temp: 32 degrees
Min. Temp: 22 degrees
99.9% chance of seeing the sun on the day aswell. hahaha

Hope that helps u out for planning the trip Joe

In Hong Kong, which means Fragrant Harbour in Cantonese, the closest I get to the desert is Tiramisu.
Interesting read that post of urs was. Tiramisu indeed! Try asking CP about grainy and textured fruit juice and how that reminds her of DXB. LOL

Had an idea that we could go see a movie as it will be Ramadan and the cinemas will definately be quite empty, so we would basically have the theater to ourselves. If there is a large enough crowd, I could try to get us cheaper tickets.
