Re: Waxy O'Connor's.............
Close to the American Hospital. I spent a lamentable few days suffering with Appendicitis at the AH back in 1997. All I could hear for a few days was the 'Thump Thump' Bass Line from The Cyclone nearby – One of my regular haunts! Then AH gave me a 'Free Post-Operative Infection!' The Infection lasted longer, and cost more than the original surgery!
I believe 'The Bunker' was run by a woman. The only Expat Female in the UAE to be given an Alcohol Licence.
It makes you wonder? – Where are they now?
And does anyone remember the 'Arif Castle' at the top of Bank Street. That was when the top of Bank Street was called 'Budgie Roundabout!'

I only found it a few months before they shut.
It massively reminded me of my Uni student union - Oasis, Blur, Pulp, James, Nirvana, Proclaimers (Uni was in Scotland) etc. It was a proper sticky floor place too. Awesome!

Ah Royal Wedding Day 1981, changed a clutch in my Ford Cortina! Strangely, I remembered the Cortina Clutch when I heard the news of Diana's death in '97

Christ, I even feel old now.
I was trying to understand why the TV guide said 'Pink Panther' but there was just news on.

Re: Waxy O'Connor's.............
a summer afternoon in Waxy's was definitely among the lows of my time in Dubai
not a woman in sight and all the blokes acting like hyenas when 3 did turn up - one fella made my day though, proper pompus twat every morning with his perfect little family at school, ensuring the kids had their cucumber and carrot sticks etc... a drunken leering mess when Mrs was out of town, made sure he knew who I was
the bogs were covered in an inch of piss and the dj was playing Slade and Sweet songs - we decided to move a bit upmarket and went to the York

Nothing beat The Cyclone . Full of loaded Gulf Arabs and Russian hookers in cocktail dresses , like a scene from a James Bond film .

Proper dive that place , more slappers than a Whitley Bay kebab house . Seen a few casualties get jettisoned out of there over the years .
