Re: Big Gate
Bloody hell, scamp. You haven't been to Barracuda yet?
I wonder, is that old Russian cargo plane still parked by the side of the road? Oh, and Dreamland (IIRC) water park...with the pool bar...is that still open?

Hmm, I don't buy wine at DDF, only if I've done a day trip to Qatar or something, then I get a couple of bottles of red and just take the hit.
Scrap with yourself?
I bet you, the first pint, that you can't down 3 pints for breakfast one day.
PS: Love the fact a thread about a giant gate turned into a booze discussion at post #2.

On that basis, the DIFC Gate building must be the biggest.

Re: Big Gate
Barracuda had a sweet deal on Kronenbourg 1664 beer last time I went, buy 3 cases at 80 each and get 1 free. 160 for 3 cases compared to MMI price of 120 for 1. Also if you blow over 1000 you get a free gift, some other kind of alcohol.
Can you tell I'm a sweatie?

Re: Big Gate
Millhouse, I would say no, a gate door is still a gate door whether it be attached to a gate or not, however if it is used for a different purpose does it become something else....
