Hi Guys,

I've recently moved over here from the UK (two weeks now) and wanted to introduce myself. Over the past 18 months although not having registered and posted I have referred to your forum extensively and found it a valuable resource in my planning - so I want to thank everyone for your contributions over this period

So I am finally here, I have to say that at times this forum has painted somewhat of a bleak picture about Dubai which did cast doubt in my mind, however I decided to go for it and so far so good - the company has looked after me and things are going to plan.

I do now appreciate the concerns and can empathize with those of you who have fallen victim to the economic downturn of recent months. It is a pretty intimidating place to start with especially so when things are so uncertain!!!

Anyway, great to be here, I am loving it so far and would love to meet up at some point as I tend to spend the weekends alone at the minute which is starting to become tedious so I may try t come for drinks etc and would love to play tennis if anyone out there plays / can recommended any clubs etc.

Look forward to hopefully meeting some of you soon...........

P.S. If anyone is knows of a second hand LCD for sale let me know

Thanks - made a little easier as it is internal, but it was touch and go right to the last minute !!

By the way - do you get used to the driving???? It's mental and scary as hell!!!
