    Nah not yet Mick but only been here 3 1/2 months so plenty of time. Pass the Meydan course on the way to football - looks like a spaceship from afar.

    Work, as I would imagine it is no fun anymore, ever since the Cyclone Club got shut down!

    Evening KOs at 8:45, Trev. Even then it was proper Betty Swollocks, but it's nice and cool now.

    Operations Manager for an oilfield services company <ok>

    TBH, it's alright but I've heard some amount of horror stories about Cyclone - the MD spent a weekend in jail after a night out there <laugh>

    Take it you've been here on a jaunt then?

    How long you there for jiffy? Would you recommend it?

    Been (informally) offered a position out there, haven't decided yet but I was leaning towards declining.

    3 1/2 months. Did it for the money and because my bird grew up here, so it was easy enough to give it a shot. There's ****ing loads of Expat Scots too.

    Depends on your package basically, Bealey. Have they told you what it would be? The money is good, it's tax free and it's a really good standard of living.

    Just accept it and we can double date with our birds, maybe even swing later on <ok>

    Deported, or did you manage to leave before the crime was reported?

    If you ask nice enough I'm sure he'll bank a ounce of grengo for you as well <ok>

    I hear the customs in Dubai are lax as ****.

    PS: I've never spent time in a dubai jail. **** you jiffy.

    No idea jiffy, haven't had the formal offer through yet. I heard you can't even live with a burd unless you're married?

    They're meant to be investing billions in their railway infrastructure in the coming years - hence the opportunity

    <laugh> <applause> Not going to allude to your crime, Monaco?

    They seem pretty lax to be honest - each time, i'm pretty much just straight through. Eye scan and it's a good 'un <ok>

    Aye, it is but it's one of those things that's widely done anyway. Not a problem really.

    Yeah, I heard they were going to be building a rail network linking all the emirate states. Mind, they've been building a tram system here for 3 years and it's a ****ing shambles <ok>

    I was in Dubai on holiday and you'd be guaranteed to see at least two road accidents a day. The ****s are mental.

    I always promise to buy her two tickets to any show in Glasgow or Embra of her choice - and she always takes her Mum. Winner!

    Bought her some new boots and a pandora charm...

    Maybe a new dress or summit like that ...

    **** spending 600 notes!!!!
