The Moan Thread
 
Just created this thread where anyone who wants to... can winge and moan.:frown:



Just heard from Mr Star that the landlord of the apartment that we are moving into in Abu Dhabi has let it to someone else without informing the agency.:mad:

Our agent is now talking to the landlord to see if he will change his mind....If not its back to square one of trying to find a place to live before the 1st of July.:curse:

My job is crap. Being forced to work 6 days a week instead of the 5 I was told it would be. All being threatened about the future of the company even though only here for 3 months do far. Am 15K in debt from law studies in Uk which were a waste of time because I didn't get a training contract to qualify as a solicitor!

Moan over :curse:

check out www.salsawithbrando.com or www.salsaarabia.com for the latest salsa party news.

They do, indeed, do really, really basic classes. I know, because I was in the dunce group for WEEKS. (Look, I learned to dance in the last days of punk & ska, when all ya had to do was pogo up and down...).

But now i can suzie-q, sombrero & ensouffle with the best of 'em...

When you move here, try Tuesday night at Zenith, the Sheraton. Beginners class is 8-9. Discover your inner Latina!

We used to take this piss out of a mate in my French hockey club because he was in his University's dancing club.
Met up with him the following year in a Cuban bar in Fulham. When the music started and he started dancing a not so orderly queue of gorgeous young ladies formed to get his attention! I didnt take the piss after that!

I am too lazy to even procrastinate
It's hot and I don't want to go outside

People drive rather badly here and few people have a sense of private body space.

Oh, and the sun will go supanova in a few billion years wiping out all life in the solar system-so if we don't invest in space all human endevour will be rendered ultimately pointless...:ohmy:
