I'd never put the obvious together to consider your background being military. Suppose I never actually stopped to think about it, I don't really care about you enough to try and work out things like that (it's not just you, it's everyone on here...I don't think anyone really cares do they?).

It explains a lot because I've got a few military mates from military families and your attitude reminds me of my best mates old man who was a Major in the artillery. The blunt tones and way he said even nice stuff used to make me laugh, let alone when he went on a rant about something or delivered something cutting to shut someone up. Used to piss my pants.

Keep it up, sir.

Even the cockroaches get bored here...

Re: is everyone dead?
 

agree 100% why would you. Ive had years and years of living in a sarcastic, take no prisoners, piss taking enviroment, then i left the military and starting working offshore where it is actually worse...I'm damaged beyond repair with regards to normal civil behaviour...THANK ****.:thumbsup:

Re: is everyone dead?
 

I'm glad you didn't take that the wrong way, it wasn't meant rudely.

Military to offshore - some would say that's the career path of a closet homo.......hahahahahahahhahaa

I'm actually more of a bigot than a racist so maybe we can arrange a swop of titles?

N.

100% AA. If this is what the Bored has become, thank Christ I am leaving...

Apathetic and self-centred ....

Pity, but things change...

What is the deal with the sensitive stomachs of people living in Dubai?

One of my friends is terrified of eating anything in old Dubai, and complains of the squirts every time he eats any take-aways from anywhere.

Toughen up by eating some dodgy food. Get yourself an iron stomach! Much better life afterwards...:thumbsup:

Re: is everyone dead?
 

really? I'll eat anywhere. Some of those little places are cracking.

Re: is everyone dead?
 

Agree.

A while back, some of my mates embarked on an eating-out-odyssey, starting opposite that Spinney's near Karama and working their way along to the creek via the heart of Bur Dubai, eating out at a different place every night along the way.

It was their recommendation that first alerted me to the superb Nawab, an unassuming little Indian hidden away in the corner of that computer mall near the corner of Bank and Mankhool.

I've never had a Chernobyl eating out at any of those places.

Re: is everyone dead?
 

I've been to that place in computer plaza as well. Awesome food, brilliant service and cheap as chips! If you go there I recommend the Daal Makhni.

Some people are seriously missing out. Dubai is a melting pot of cultures, why miss out on the excellent food available by sticking to Rivington, Nobu and other mostly overrated and seriously expensive places...

Re: is everyone dead?
 

Agree with the above couple of posts. As soon as I hit a foreign city I try to work out where the locals eat (not so difficult)--ok, the big hotels usually have excellent food, but what's the point of being somewhere different if you eat the same food as you can eat everywhere else? (I did get serious food poisoning from eating in the street markets in Korea, though--but even that cloud had a silver lining in that it introduced me to acupuncture.)

Re: is everyone dead?
 

As soon as you hit third world food poisoning is a lottery. I had some dodgy stuff in Caucasus and Africa and went fine but I got the worst poisoning ever from a burger in Sheraton in Bahrain.

Re: is everyone dead?
 

My stomach is tough. It's a mixture of brawn and aggression and concrete....so there.

Anyway sticking to the mainstream suits most people because it's easy and there are only a handful of horror stories compared to that of the folk who've been hunting round dirty restaurants in shit parts of cities. Interestingly, it does my head in when you speak to people and they talk non stop about all these local places they've been to eat and just end up sounding so incredibly patronising. Was that the best Indian / Thai / Chinese etc that you've ever eaten....or is it because is was 3 quid and a proper Indian served you it? I don't know.

But anyway, Ravi's in Satwa is decent (think we've all discussed before and it's Pakistani isn't it?) and there is a corner shop / cafe in Karama that sells the best shwarma that I've ever eaten. Can't remember the name but it had an orange sign.
