It's a very laid back place, all you really need to do is come and find out what the place is like, what one man's heaven is another man's hell.

Re: Newbies....Introduce yourselves to the ME crowd

Hey guys.

I'm originally from Fife but have lived in Houston, Tx since 2008.
I've just accepted a Rotation job in Dubai and wondering where the best places for beers n banter with fellow expats is?
I guess I'll visit the Dubliner during Football season to watch Celtic.

Cheers

Yes sorry, other Brits.

The bars in Texas are terrible so looking forward to a pint and some banter.

Re: Newbies....Introduce yourselves to the ME crowd

Hello.

My name is Ben, I live in the U.K. I have only joined this forum because I have bought 4 tickets for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix but now I can not attend.

If anyone has any advice on where I could post these then I would be extremely grateful.

Cheers

Ben
