Re: Dubai GEMS Schools vs UK Private Schools Study

Make more money in UK, go back.

Make more money in Dubai, stay there.

But being married I can confirm that if your wife wants to go back, you're going back at some point.

You'll be sorry. Passing up the opportunity to turn mini Mill into the spitting image of Ethos?

Re: Dubai the Most Disappointing Travel Destination on Earth

The danger is coming to Dubai and expecting another Hong Kong or Rome or London. That's a mistake.

That's probably why the city ranked so high on the overrated list. Too many tourists on a brief...

Re: Dubai the Most Disappointing Travel Destination on Earth

I like Budapest.

It's not an imperial city like Vienna nor a preserved in aspic town like Prague. The food isn't the best, nothing like what you can find in Austria or Germany. But a lot of...

Re: Is it me or..

There's a terror attack in the UK, but it's home. Your family is there. Your friends are there. You can't pack up and leave. People in the UK are already used to the periodic terror attacks, starting...

Hi

Long time no see.

Doesn't seem to be very active these days, no? Or did you scare off all the newcomers?

Mr and Mrs Ethos are moving to Hong Kong in January. So it's back to expatdom for me...

Re: Scottish Independence

There's only three constituencies out of 32 where the margin of victory (for Yes or No) could be described as razor thin.

Inverclyde (49.9% Yes, 50.01% No)
North Ayrshire (49% Yes, 51% No)
North...

Re: Scottish Independence

Sounds a bit fishy to me. Then again it may be a red herring.

But they have always been codding political sharks.

Re: Scottish Independence

Interesting observation.

In the 2011 Scottish elections, the SDP won an outright majority of seats in the Scottish parliament. But it obscures that the SDP only won 45% of the votes cast. The...

Re: Scottish Independence

The majority of people in your Scotland voted against independence. So how is that an example of being spectacularly good at clutching defeat from the jaws of victory?

Scotland isn't monolithic,...

Re: Scottish Independence

Fascinating result. 10 percent lead for No. Solid victory.

I like to look at the vote breakdowns after polling is done. The Guardian's map says quite a lot:
