I'm told they do it for fun. I'd die of fright.

Moving back to Dubai after 22 years has been an experience! Back then we didn't have the internet or blogs. Now we do I can jot down my thoughts on daily life, things we come up against, things we enjoy, the multi-national society, the laws, the weather...plus other things in general which catch my attention.
About Me
- Seabee
- We lived in Dubai from 1977 to 1984, visited on a couple of holidays, then moved back again in 2005. We came because we wanted to watch the incredible development as it happened and we moved back to Oz in 2011. I now blog on Life in Oz and the link is on my last post here. I welcome comments & debate on the blog, but insults are unnecessary and inappropriate. I will delete any which are libel, racist, obscene, advertising or which are simply to make a point but are completely off-subject. If you want to do that, create your own blog. Oh, and I've decided to add a new category to the delete list because there are too many of them left on blogs - stupid comments. If you want to use my photos or quote from my posts you may do so - but only if you credit the source and give a link back to my original post.

Desparate for attention.
Allah says in the holy Quran:
'..and make not your own hands contribute to (your) destruction; but do good; for Allah loveth those who do good.'
Al Baqarah Chapter, verse 195
and make not your own hands contribute to (your) destruction; but do good; for Allah loveth those who do good
Funny you should quote this El Shahlab. You don't appear to observe this particular tenet of Allah's teaching when you get your own hands on the steering wheel of a car - at least on the basis of some of your previous comments on this blog.
Maybe you too are desparate [sic] for attention? What's good for spidey is good for you, eh?
Anon, Thanks for following my comments and remembering them.
Yes, I do drive above the speed limit sometimes, and get caught by radars by driving merely 5-10 mph above speed limit as the case with Dubai radars. But that doesn’t make me a person who is looking for attention : )
Apparently you don’t drive, otherwise you’d know what is the speed that makes you (sick) for attention.
El Shahlab, posting your immature driving habits on blogs is looking for attention. Even if you drive 5-10 mph above the speed limit. Don't blame it on "Dubai Radars".
Note: I have been driving for 10 years. I have yet to recive a speeding ticket. Now that is something I am proud to get attention for.
Seabee, please post some more pictures if you have any. A friend of mine is the facilities manager at JBR, would love to show these to him.
Anon@11.58, if you mean photos of Spiderman, this is the only one I took.
I've posted other general photos of JBR, I think they're tagged with my 'Construction' label.
Anom, Good for you :)
I have all the attention I need in real life. I am not looking for virtual attention.
Yet, apparently I do have e-stalkers.
Enjoyed visiting the blog, I hope spiderman made it safely down.
