Re: Ramadan
feelings? thoughts? is this year going to be worse than others, judging by some of the comments I have already seen appearing on FB I think it is getting worse. Why can't the UAE be like other Muslim countries and it be business as usual?

Re: Ramadan
BE'ers half naked?
As most won't meet fully clothed, I'm interested to see what response this suggestion gets!

Re: Ramadan

Re: Ramadan
This is British expats, Patsy, not German expats.
You should be fine. Plenty of pasty white skins with a few burned to a deep purple. Swimming trunks will certainly be of knee length. People will awkardly stand around the pool, in the semi-embarrased state of a half naked Brit, and continually say 'isn't it hot enough for you' and 'cheers' while downing G&Ts and cheap beer.
Eventually at some point someone will be drunk enough to do a bellyflop and splash water on the women in the sun loungers.
Towards the end someone will have a heat stroke.
You'd better have the ambulance on speed dial.

I have... pink bubbly, bucks fizz, chilled white or red wine, 3 or 4 different brands of beer, spirits if people want them.
I have 4 sofas, a bar with bar stools, 2 dining tables and a coffee table area, sunbeds and umbrellas around the pool, loungy floaty chair things in the pool so there are plenty of places for people to sit..no need to stand awkwardly around the pool!
If you want to come and show us your speedo clad body and peeling purple skin do feel free darling..we need a floor show

Re: Ramadan
I'd come if I could.
It poured rain at the last pool party I went to and we huddled around the aga in the kitchen instead. I did have swimming trunks on....and a wool jumper.
Not quite the same.
But the booze was indeed very good, as were the wasabi flavoured crackers that Millhouse loves so much.
