Re: Amusing Article (I know it's not real)
Just had an idea related (kinda) to this. How many times have we said "yeah, right..." when we heard about new plans?
Do we remember the times when we were wrong, or just the rest? It would be a good research topic on selective memory...

Re: Amusing Article (I know it's not real)
When I was there I would get dizzy driving along the Emirates Road or out towards Hatta and shaking my head at all the big signs for Falcon City of Wonders or Badawi or The Lagoons...All I could think was "Are they having a laugh?"
Maybe they were.

Re: Amusing Article (I know it's not real)
I can remember when I was first told about the Springs and Meadows development. We took a ride up there (miles away) and walked the foundations of the Springs. The houses were tiny!!! I said to my husband "who the hell is going to rent these". The two beds came on rent at 45k and there were tons of them empty.
