the King is dead already can I have my movie channel back!

[DougW]

Yes the King is dead , its very sad, but my only non news or italian girls feeling up their tits and pretending to finger bang themselves channel is still reading passages from the Koran. For the first two days even the kids cartoon channel became "CNN" 24 hours a day covering the funeral. Everbody in Oman got 2 days off so a four day weekend. Well I didn't. Have to watch South PArk on my lap top.

Wait...why are the Omanis crying for the Saud family?

And doesn't Qatar & the UAE have a near-monopoly on broadcasting over there? Why are Saudi issues dominating things?

What is wrong with italian girls grabbing their boobies and pretending to finger bang themselves?

Yea. I'm not really understanding why you'd even want to watch anything else?

[Laps]

I would even watch if they were Omanian girls.

[Game Over]

all I read is feeling tits and fingerbanging...the rest of this thread sucks.

Forget TV. Do a road trip and go skiing.

DUBAI - It will snow in Dubai this winter. Come September, the world's largest and the Middle East's first ski slope, the Dubai Ski at the Mall of the Emirates, the biggest mall outside the US, will be ready for ski-off.


The 25-storey high (90 metres) ski slope, which has already added an imposing silhouette to Dubai's skyline, is 400 metres long from start to finish, occupying an area equal to three football stadiums, is 85 metres wide, and will allow over 1,500 skiers to enjoy the sport simultaneously, Younis H Al Mulla, General Manager of the Mall of the Emirates told Khaleej Times.

'The skiers can use the ski lift (chair) to travel to the top of the slope, and can enjoy a cup of coffee at the mid-station coffee shop. There's a snow-board park for the youngsters, while for the children, there's a 3,000 square metre snow-land play area as well as ice caves where they can play with snow,' he said, adding that the ski slope will offer downhill runs for both skiers and snowboarders, for beginners, amateurs as well as experts.

The five-run ski slope is part of a massive high tech snow dome, which will be replenished with fresh snow every night. 'It would take some 6,000 tonnes of snow to fill up the dome floor up to three feet, and every night 30 tonnes of snow will be produced to replenish the facility,' Al Mulla explained.

Dubai Ski has an edge over similar facilities around the world. According to Al Mulla, the temperature inside the dome will be one degree below zero as against the universal 10 below zero at other such facilities. 'Skiers can enjoy the place for as long as they want without getting a head-ache due to cold or experiencing problems related to low temperatures. This has been made possible because of a state-of-the-art technique which uses a network of pipes laid under the snow to keep it fresh without affecting a major drop in temperature,' he said, adding that at night, after the dome is closed to the public, the temperature would be brought down to seven below zero. The 223,000 square metre mall is estimated to have cost $1 billion.

Only one degree below zero, god that'd be a heatwave after skiing Whiteface in -15 BEFORE adding the windchill in, with no Gondi.

i can think of a few fucking windbags in our own gov't, whats so different bout this clown?

even more of a heat wave if you figure its probably -1 deg. C.
just a guess, but every other unit of measure in the article is metric.

Yup , most everybody in Oman got an extra day or two off. Fellow royal and all. Foreign workers no. Construction workers still seemed to work 6 1/2 days.

I'm not sure where the MCB stations come from but I'm pretty sure not Saudi, probably as you said or Kuwait.

What is wrong with italian girls grabbing their boobies and pretending to finger bang themselves?

While the one station Euroerotic or whatever.... well their not really very good looking and only on 1/2 time with 1/4 of air time is infomercial for a penis enlarger. Always the same just the language changes. And did I mention that kinda skanky.

The other channel which is all italian does have go looking women , mostly , one very good looking, but I'm sorry after 6 weeks it gets old. Also the phone numbers all over the screen get in the way of a good view.

[Benny Profane]

I thought this thread was about the suden proliferation of Elvis movies on AMC.

[DougW]

I would even watch if they were Omanian girls.

Actually , not sure if I say this before I leave the country, but Omanie women as a rule are not very good looking. Maybe thats just my tastes. Some are overly skinny but hard to tell under black robes which most wear. About 10-15% go for the veil so all you know about them is thay have eyes. Actaully try not to amke eye contact as much as possible.

From walking on beach on hot day or shopping you would think that the ratio of men to women is about 70-30. On beach 90-10.

Funny thing, on a hot day 40-43°C, wait thats every day, there will be almost no one on beach at 3:00pm, mostly westerners every 100m if that, come 5:00 will be 20 times as many. Though mostly playing football with little 4' by 4' goals.
