It is great to see that most shops are already bumping up their prices, so the 5% VAT, on top of the new prices is helping the Dubai economy even more.

I always get quick answers - positive or negative, that's not the problem - to my swap requests (yes, with smartphones and roaming, the vast majority of us have instant popping of messages ..)

Don't knock it chum. Many a time I have enjoyed a hearty breakfast of left over cold curry and cold nan bread for breakfast. (Invariably after being pi**ed as a newt a very few hours ago...)

Welcome into the cockpit. I trust you implicitly to monitor my co-pilot while I go to the restroom, and I'm sure you a) have been properly security screened for the task, and b) have been properly trained in how to save the day should my dodgy offsider roll the aircraft inverted when I'm half way through my dump.

Even better, Kamelchaser :
(from an F/O point of view)
I'm so happy that you come to the cockpit while I go to the restroom, because you know, I don't really trust this guy in the left seat.

I really enjoyed the provident fund, I had the best funds to choose from, they beat any
S&P 500 index fund and the fees were so much lower, I am sure the provident fund is there to make money for me and not for the company
