Smile Moving to Dubai in 2nd week Jan

Hi All,

Well have finally agreed to the package and the move will take place on or around the 7/8th Jan. The company plan to put me up in a hotel for a few nights, they have sorted me a 3 bed town house on the Springs and so all that remains is to sort out a car and then get to find my way around and start to make friends as the family wont be out till around May/June or so.

So were is a good place to meet fellow brits etc for a drink.

Cheers all,

Andy

I'm so jealous Andy. I wish it was me and my family move to Dubai in Jan.

I am sure that lucrative job I am hunting will turn up soon!!!!

Congratulations.

Well if you did you would realise that those places are the kind to be frequented by British guys working alone..

hence it was a 'normal' as you put it, reply actually


however, The lakes Club (as BC says) is an ok place for a wee after work pint...

And the krankies drink in there

To me, you are all the same...
