That aside, you have plenty to say to say to me and tell me but you haven't answered the one post I made for you.....interesting.
What post? You haven't addressed anything to me.

You have a lot to say for someone who only joined this forum yesterday.

Dubai can be spit and sawdust....just ask Kix.
I've met you. You are one of them.

While that is true, (by a long way), I was the one who did the 25 yard putt.

I like it here it's weird, not ventured out of Dubai though...yet ...

Have met some nice Locals and general middle eastern people along the way and some ignorant twats....same goes for ex-pats......making some nice friends now I have let my guard down

it alright....better than Manchester innit !

Been in semi bother with The Police but then that was only a matter of time, funny incident involving a local guarding a parking space and the front bumper of my mates car

Loved going back to Manchester this summer but was equally looking forward to coming back here

Miserable? What makes you think I am 'miserable'?

Well, all that cutting and pasting was an effort.....

The posts where you call imply I am angry and miserable!!!! I ask you which of my posts give you that impression!

Im that sort of Geezer. I always have a lot to say. If I was in the boozer, with the locals, I probably wouldn't be the quiet one just cause I had only just joined the party.
