In Dubai bonuses bigger it's just a lot less people get 'em.

Hello AtW, meet Edwina and Mr incredulity.

I've seen the bonuses, London is super richer.

I worked in Montreal and loved it.
Would go back in a flash.

Google Wandas Montreal.
Used to drink in McKibben's and Curley's Irish pubs.
Great gardens and parks around the city.
The best bit is the tunnel network you can use when the snow comes down; -seriously.

Never had a problem with the 'language police' unlike the local businesses.
One guy in a pub once pulled me up for speaking English in Quebec so I explained that I came from Northern Ireland and didn't often get the chance to practise my schoolboy french. He wasn't having it so I asked ( in the relevent languages) if he spoke Irish, German, Japanese. I think I upset him when I asked him "tlhIngan Hol Dajatlh’a’" so we resorted to fisticuffs.

There are still great British remnants of Empire around the city.
I tend to walk around cities when I'm working away from home and walked all over Montreal. I remember walking down one street and suddenly found myself in as close a reproduction of Horseguards Parade as I've seen anywhere.

The Old town is great. Stash Cafe Polish restaurant, the Keg steaks.

I was surprised by the number of surprisling young beggars though.
One openly requesting funds for 'Marijuana research'.

Dubai is super rich and it's whole territory size is 4,114 km2 (1,588 sq mi).

That's just 3 times more than London (1,570 km2 (607 sq mi)).

That and their wealth paid every time we refuel our cars make it easy to have good hotels near airports.

Last I was in Dubai the massage was complimentary at the airport hotel, £85 if I recall for the night. Almost half the LHR sheethole.

People who stay in hotel near airport don't have choice, that's why price is high and quality is tulip.

100% disagree.

It's incredible now that I think about it.

[AtW]

you expect by the airport £165 per night.

[scooterscot]

You've claimed that your expenses were fully paid - staying in a hotel near Heathrow is hardly #1 choice in this case

I agree but it's London, if I believe the TV, the streets are paved with diamonds, champagne flows from the taps - you expect by the airport £165 per night.

[AtW]

Will not make that mistake again, London is just overpriced, smelly, outdated hype.

Fishing the dark?

Yet another boring night in Munich eh?

I'm off out to my local in half an hour where much mirth and merriment will be had.

I do feel sorry for you but then like most of the twunts on here you deserve it.

[scooterscot]

you'll have to shift your poor family to yet another country where none of you have any mates or roots.

Fishing the dark?

[sasguru]

Any here worked there before?

Just had an interesting chat with a potential client waving big carrot in my face. My, the Mrs and mini all paid for.

What's the catch?

The catch is that when they find out out what a useless twunt you are which generally seems to happen about the 9 month mark, you'll have to shift your poor family to yet another country where none of you have any mates or roots.

any french you think you can speak is no good there. they use the same words but it sounds nothing like what you're used to. in the centre everyone can speak english but the language is openly hated elsewhere.

make sure membership to club supersexe is included in the contract.

The truth hurts doesn't it.

Yeah, took me 22 years to realise that the first time round.

[eek]

Life is too short to stay confined to the one country, one mindset.
