RISE AND SHINE EVERYONE!
 
Another great day in Dubai. Todays forecast: Hot, dry, and extremely profitable. Lets get out there and seize the opportunities! I just got done running a 8 minute mile! Best time this year.

Please don't try to turn something nice into something dirty. You're better than that.

Actually it was a genuine question...did she like her ''okay'' necklace, that fact that it was pearl was just a detail...:mad:

My dear chap, I know what I'd like to seize!

Do you really think anyone is motivated by these bizarre and banal posturings?

It's "me, me, me" pomposity gone mad!

Or are you just a skilled troll?

I've decided that the subject is to personal to discuss here. I don't know what I was thinking when I brought it up yesterday.

I'm 6 foot 3, 230 pounds of twisted steel, with drop your boney butt to the curb appeal.

I'm anything but a troll.

You, you, you again! I rest my case.

But as for me, me, me, I'll have you know that my butt is most shapely!

i'd venture to suggest it was one of two things:

1. "I'm bored to death of my middle management job, my investments here look shaky and I'm falling into a general rut. My wife is fed up of the place as well. Let's see if I can divert some attention by playing TROLL on a message board.

or

2. I genuinely am a self made gazillionnaire on the back of modern day indentured labour - huzzah! Let me bring some sunshine into the lives of other regular working types by going through Covey and other self-help type bull$hitters. At the same time I'll throw in some personal anecdotes of how I spend my money. Ho ho ho - these people think someone of my wealth would be happy with a PA who drives a Ford - a Ford? in Dubai?? I'll impress them with tales of how I lavish new cars and jewellery on her and how she's a latter day Mrs Marcos, wahey! Also bore them to death with tedious minutiae of my morning routine and how I'm fit and healthy and nothing like the stereotype of a successful (read wealthy) man of my age. That'll teach them!


So which one is it, habibi?

#1) I'm proud of what I do.
#2) I don't brag about my money- I'm merely sharing my life story
Isn't this a message board?
#3) The Ford Focus is crap, it reflects poorly on me when my top aid shows up to a meeting in a green Ford Focus. I'm sorry
#4) I work hard to stay in top condition. It's a big part of who I am.

You're just going to have to deal with it JVR
