Where do we all come from with names!?
 
Sorry the other one did not recognise the post name option in the poll...

To follow on from TS's thread of talking about US... where have we all come from before landing in Dubai? This is a public poll by the way...

Maximum for polls is 10 hence why an odd spread of countries so do add any others in the posts....

Those are the ones I know. Maybe even more.....
But I know, your poll is limited. But you could have left Germany out and put NW-Europe in.....

Read what? What if someone used to be in another country in the Middle East before moving to Dubai? What if someone was born or has lived in a ME country (not UAE) all their life? Learn to make sense. :rolleyes:

hence why the majority of this forum thinks ur an irritating little git.

It says any places not included in the poll should be written in the actual posts.....

don't even bother trying to be clever.

You make no sense. You have Germany, France, etc. separately, yet don't have Middle East as a region.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: Anyway, back to ignoring you it is!!!

maybe because the majority of the people in this forum are from Western countries. I am including commonwealth in that broad stroke as well.

Whilst I would love to tell you to XXXX off, it is pointless as it would only fuel you to retort with more comments which are just blocking this thread.

I expect that you will be banned shortly anyway.

Don't hold your breath to that. I expect DanM to be clever enough to avoid that.

The end is close, passport destruction will occur within three years, and i'll never venture further from my back door, than i can reach within a 5 minute brisk walk.

It really makes me smile when i read the postings of people disillusioned with life at home, there really is no better place that i've found, and i'm dying to get back.

My passport wont distruct but I have never ventured past my back gate either. I am not disillusioned with life back home, in fact I love it. I cannot wait to get back though I have to wait a few years ... Which for now I dont mind.

Heart :)
