Heroes was good, had a definitive storyline rather than milking series after series. Bit like the Age of Apocolypse (Marvel) coomic book story. Think I might be on my own with the comic book thing though.

Personally not a big fan of anything sci-fi (Heroes, Lost after series 1 etc)...House I agree, it's quality...but they are so rare.

Opera. I thought I was a cultured lad and took a posh bird to an opera in the smoke. A bottle of vino beforehand and within 15 minutes I was snoring on her shoulder. Fail.

I hear you!

This must be the worst example http://easycruise.com/pHome.aspx?cltid=1

Basically a room full of extremely fat blokes in tuxedos perspiring heavily over the nearest bar girl bride....

Isn't the old Easy Cruise yacht still berthed next to QE2 in Port Rashid, I know it used to be.

seconded, bunch of self aggrandising numpties usually taking turns at braying at each other. Most of them make me embarrassed to be an ex-pat.

rather drink my own blood than attend one of these functions

Nice to see a few, but hundreds? I also find it odd that people post so many photos their holidays on FB. A few days away and they think anyone wants to see 50-200 of their crap photos?

sorry :o

UAE Community Radio, 7 Days, Gulf News, The National, and Cabbage Times! The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Grauniad, and not forgetting britishexpats.com

I put Philippino Bands in the same category as Wagnerian Operas! - They seem to go on for days, and lack originality!

No! - I take that back, It must Bollywood Movies ahead of everything else! Same Same but different every time! - Isn't it?
