Re: Those *****ers have finally lost it...
lol, nah, you know me, queen of the JJs 
...but I take the kids to that public beach in Jumeirah a couple of times a week - there's a playground there - and it's just a fab place to go and chill out. I don't see why anyone should have to pay for something like that - I love the fact that there are people from all nationalities and walks of life using it, it's a million miles from most of what you come across in Dubai. Shame, they are making a real mess of it 
MM, xx

If you can afford to do something or be a member somewhere, then do it, good on you.
I dont feel sorry for the people here that cant afford to do the things i can. A lot of them are here because they have a better quality of life here than their original country. A lot of people however have nothing to go back for, i.e they are trapped here due to employment chances at home and their passports being locked up.
One of my ex-colleagues whos salary came in about at 2000AED per month, has built himself and his family a sizeable house in his country of origin- a lot bigger that my property in the UK for sure
Money is all relevant. I work for a global company with a sizeable office in Dubai. I took a package that was comparable to what i earn in the offshore industry in the UK. It does cause a lot of friction as i know i double my managers salary. But the point is, i would not work for a certain level, neither would others.
And if that level dictates that i can join a golf club or a beach club or both then good on me.
Forgive me as a new guy to this site, but It seems to me that there are people on here that really go out of their way to feel sorry for the 'less well off' people (well thats what they see them as) These 'less well off' people, are probibly quite content with their lot as they know no different and would feel totally out of sorts gabbing on with the wannabees at Barasti's or discussing the best spa and nail salon in Lime tree cafe with the false and hideously boring Jumeriah Jane types anyway (darling).
Now what really gets on my wick is the women who bring their slave. sorry maid to spinneys to push the trolley and look after her kids while she prances around selecting moisturisers and toners for her leather skin like she owns the place. Arrogant and Disgusting. Saw one yesterday actually. She was as common as muck as well, cant wait till her hubby has to move back to Redcar or whereever they came from.
People like that really annoy me more than people who join clubs cause they can afford it.
in my opinion of course
