Ha ha!

PM me your number and lets talk! ;)

As for the no booze...... I know but I've kinda decided no booze and hit the gym hard / watch what I eat until I fly home for a week at the end of the month. Need to shift some holdover holiday padding. Shouldn't be too hard tho.

Good luck for today jam.

If you go to loca do be careful. No girl wants to see refried beans on your chin when you go for the nachos.

Oh, come on. They went to Traders.

You know what happens when women go to Traders and have a couple of their cocktails.

It's straight into the taxi, home, vomit, crash into bed and black out till the next day. :unsure:

Who hasn't? It's dangerous for men too. A few post brunch tiki-puka-pukas and we'd got 1,400 dizzers together for someone to jump in. :unsure:

Who do you think is sorting out the mess when they vomit all over the taxi?

Anyway, women are safe enough with me. That's why their mothers loved me back in the day :o

i made the mistake of going to 'societe' in the byblos, Fri night....what a dive of a joint....music was good...but the crowd of full of mingers wanting to score...mostly white english girls and plenty of arabs, who barely looked old enough to even know what 80/90's music is.

OK, she was nice. Didn't look too dissimilar to her profile pic. Had some lunch and a cocktail or two and that was it. No spark to speak of so won't be taking it any further. Probably keep in touch as friends though as she was a nice girl.

Next!

That's a understatement! The whole of Byblos is a shite hole. Hate Nell Gwyns too. Jumped up management pricks!

Still randomly end up in both of them occasionally though.

Nelly was good when it opened, used to live nearby. But yeah, on the list to not bother with.

I actually stayed at the Byblos a couple of years ago when I visited :embarrassed_smile: (I did a multi-centre with Mauritius so wanted to save most of the budget for that part of the hol!)

I must say it is a bit dated, although haven't really seen other hotels in Dubai yet (with exception to the Burj Al Arab where I visited for afternoon tea...)

I do remember passing the Byblos bar area when they had some entertainment on and it did look a bit tacky to say the least...
