Hi all

Is this bash going to be in Dubai?
Will there be room for 2 newcomers to Dubai, as you have all given me some good advice over the last couple of months, and as we are arriving in Dubai on Saturday, it would be a good opportunity to meet you all.

Great. Something to look forward to.
Without sounding rude, what sort of age group are the usual reprobates in?
First round is on us for all the helpful advice we have received!

it's just a normal thing though isn't it...where there is a group of different people together, you get all facets of life...which include arguing...no big deal

It may be healthier to argue with complete strangers than argue with loved ones. By the way, does anybody else think that the PPP look ridiculous appointing a 19yo boy as the leader of their political party. So much for democratic procedures!
