Do you guys have mates in Dubai? I was trying to contact Bruss to get hold of some of his buddies there, as I have a mate who's been posted there for a few months and told him that I'd try and hook him up with some fellow Babweans?? Let us know if you have any contacts? Cheers!

You have NO idea fellas...you actually have to go there & SEE it to even start comprehending the wealth...i was lucky to get into the Burj Al Arab (the hotel shaped like a dhow) last yr via a mate who did their security cameras...Schummi & the boys were there relaxing just after the Bahrain GP...it was UNREAL! Tiger Woods hit a few balls off the helipad at the top & apparently two okes played a tennis match up there as well...money talks bullshit walks...

Poison

12-15-2005, 07:07 PM

Just another one of those amazing pieces of architecture to add to their sky line

It looks so large inside..

Passed through Dubai in '97... was amazing then.I imagine alot has happened since- love to go back!

sally

the dubai ski dome is open, but i had to laugh, you see the arab women in their abayas (black dresses and ninja head wraps) and the men in their white dresses!!! its hillarious!!! My apartment was also one of the first to go up, its is commonly known as the tampon towers, all the hostees were housed in it, hence the name!!! If anyone comes to dubai and needs a place to crash, my doors are open! there are so many zimbos here, its a home away from home. a couple of the pilots organise get togethers here. Another thing that is good here is the scuba diving on the east coast,its amazing!!! I have been there a few times, there are even zim diving instructors!!

sally

Adam

How much is a blow job?

sally

12-31-2005, 08:47 AM

from what a few dodgy pilots have told me, i think its between 300dhs and 500dhs, but not too sure i will let you know when i find out!! Ask shayne about cyclones!!! he had me in tears with his story!!!

Shayne

12-31-2005, 08:52 AM

HUH? I never got a blowjob. Just dodgy whores hanging on to me like the locomotion.

He thought he was the man when he walked in, all the women coming up to him, his confidence kind of took a blow when he realised it was a whore house!!!
