DDs is 179 or something...it's hardly Traiteur...

I note the apparent lack of feedback from his side ;)

On a serious note, at the risk of sounding obsequious, I think you've done something great here BC. Good on you for giving someone a leg up and being thoroughly British about helping a fellow Brit. Credit to you.

It was 179 5 years ago!

Scene of my 1st Brunch & 1st Jaeger Bomb......... A bit like losing your virginity, fond memories of it but wouldn't want to go back.

Can't lie, I was a tad jealous. I can feel a trip coming on somewhere between the 12th and 25th (May) when I am home alone.

It's 189dh now (still not bad value).

It was 159dh when it started as far as I remember, back in the days where the place had huge queues to get in.

Radisson Blu Deira Creek is Dhs109 with a voucher and probably better food choice as you can select from 11 restaurants.:p

You need to factor in the taxi - I'm sure someone like yourself who measures things to the nearest fil will be able to advise on the cost of that.

I'm certain that a 25 year old lad will love DD brunch, Blue Cat will just have to hose him down before he comes in the house. With disinfectant.

It might be 189 now actually.

Definitely no more.

As I have not used a taxi in the last three years (except to the airport), I cannot help there.

It's 50 chips if you buy a bottle of Stoli vodka from Barracuda, scull it, then turn at at 16:30 to hoover up all the pissed tramps. :thumbup:

That's what I'd do if I were a young skint piss-head.

Barracuda is the future. Finally went a couple of weekends ago on the way back from RAK. Litre of Skyy vodka for 50 dibs? Alright then, twist my arm.

How is day two going BC? Have you caught him sniffing his way through the wash-bin yet? Or has he simply eaten the contents of the fridge and sold the TV on dubizzle?

Also--- where is he sleeping? Do you kick him down to the maid's room (quite large I seem to remember) when party time upstairs has cum to an end?

Nice. Naughty, but nice.
