[QUOTE=Autonomy;9947496Times have changed surely? My first post here was back in 2004. Before facebook, twitter and the like, probably before some posters had kids, moved here, got married etc....[/QUOTE]

Depending on when in 2004, I could well have still been at secondary school.

I don't care about what car people drive and what people do for a living and I certainly don't want any advice from strangers on where to live...

Apart from that its a source of information for me...not.

Seriously though, this forum has been a great source of info and entertainment over the last 6 years, its just kinda run its course with me. Most of the original posters from that era are long gone, so dealing with the questions described by soukie are best left for newer posters with more patience.

Right Commander;

- Let's meet at say 11:30 in the lobby of Al Qasr on Friday, just so we can catch up on the goss....then we'll go to brunch. I just hope those two (you know who) don't argue like last time. Was pathetic.
- THEN, on Saturday, we'll just go have breakfast somewhere nice and then go to the mall? Dubai Mall OK?
- After that, let's go somewhere for dinner? Shall we say, West 14th on the Palm? Then we can take a picture and make people back in the UK jealous on facebook.
- By the way - I JUST BOUGHT A NEW CAR! Very excited, i pick it up on WEdnesday, it's a Cayenne! Oh I can't wait to show you it.
- You know you were talking about where to live? I've found the perfect place, it has 17 bedrooms, 3 pools, 4 car garage, 22 bathrooms, 3 kitchens and an ENTIRE SEPARATE BUILDING FOR YOUR SLAVES! How good is that? All for 210,000!

Good plan?

I take it he is a role model for you, of all the choices you could have made it seems like a strange one. But I guess all the Ladies Love Cool James. :)

Edit: Sorry for some reason the pic will only insert as a link, but you know who I mean.

You are a miserable git! :D Hardly anyone on here talks about brunches. Occasionally a bar or restaurant is mentioned, but it's your loss if you never eat out. :p


And to any poster who says this place is boring, I would suggest that you could make an effort to make it more interesting. Start a thread, or join in with a conversation. Sitting there, not posting and moaning it's dull isn't going to help is it? This forum is what we make it. Yes, the same old questions are a bit dull, and people getting info and never coming back can be irritating, but that's how forums operate.

Apart from when you're asking strangers for advice on where to live.
