I suggest calling up one of your EK NZ mates and looking at income vs expenses the last few years!

You're welcome to do my night turn-around Delhi, if you want.

Otherwise, be sure to check out the world's glitziest, tallest, underwater, newest, Old Worlde, 11-Star, indoor, high-rise ski resort.

You forgot to mention that it's only Dhs185, all you can eat and drink! Inclusive of VAT (at the moment!)

Other than Biggest, Deepest, Tallest etc. etc. The nation is also home to some of the Fattest people around! Probably as a result of all the 'eat and drink as much as you can in four hours' deals.

Okay, I can dig it..... :


Go to the camel races and see the world's youngest child jockeys velcroed on the back of a camel...

Go to the Hatta Road and see BMW models you never even wet-dreamed of existing before wrapped around power poles on mile-long, dead-straight stretches of road.

Go to Madinat and see the world's oldest brand new Olde Worlde village...

Go to Silicon Valley Vill-ahge and see the world's biggest collection of whinging pilots in captivity in the world... (soon...)

Go to the Irish Vill-ahge and see the world's surliest Irish back-packer beer-wenches...

Go to the Gulf to see the world's newest islands before they sink back into the Gulf...

Go to Satwa and get the world's best copy DVDs.... ("Good copee, Meestah...")

Go to the gold souk for the world's yellowest gold and best copy watches...

Go to one of the new Cabin Crew high-rises and see the world's greasiest collection of lebos hanging around outside sniffing...

Did I miss anything??

Devil ..............and...................

.............................and come to visit Dubai where every law made simply sounds like its got to be broken!

Come and meet our F/O groupies, still undecided if their Mohamed is different, or whether he is really westernised.

Come see the Dubai zoo, a fantastic unit with no geographic limitations, and meet the primates driving the same cars wrapped around the poles in the previous post on the str8 stretch of road and you will understand why they are there.

Geez GN

Haven't you got a CC member to discipline or something. You seem to have way too much time on your hands.

Forgot to mention to drop in a watch the worlds best airline management order some more long range jets with no crew rest.

KP02

Can we mail order HOggets for Christmas, I am sure the young cadets woul love a harem of these. They would also make a cheaper alternative to the groupies and the belching is not as strenuous....

Sounds like GN's more of a roo fan, or maybe even a wombat. Be pretty hard for him to get a real live dinkum human sheila with a personality like that

PS: Can I get that hogget's mobile number?
