Aside from the standard Thursday Night drinks I know some of the guys from here hold does anyone fancy meeting for some drinks week after next?

It would be pretty cool if we could get a group of us all with the same mind set who just want to go out and have a bit of a laugh. so if anyone is interested then let's do it.

And yes on my return I will def be up for the Thursday night Drinks if they are still going on....
Hi Idn,

How are you settling in to life in Dubai? I arrived in Dubai last week and don't really no anyone apart from a couple of people through work. I'm 25 and also from the UK.

If your looking for someone to go for a drink or just hang out with give me a shout.

This is only my second post so can't pm yet.

Mark

I for one would really and truly like to meet a few of these characters. Whether they would want to meet me is a another matter all together.

Idn, and anybody else that plucks the courage to go, just remember that everyone had to take that first plunge to meet on a Thursday night and there are some truly fascinating, wonderful and intelligent people for you to meet with... and hopefully become friends with.

Needless to say but you didn't get to Dubai by sitting in front of the idiot box with a ready meal and a six pack - so why do it there?

I'm also in for Thursday night drinks....
My brother lives here but he is 5 years older than me and married so he has the ball and chain to contend with! Always looking for some new people to head out with.

I went to Thursday night drinks but didn't say hello to the crowd because they are a bit intimidating if I'm honest. Seems to be a bit of a "you know the drill" kind of attitude and they all know each other already. Maybe I just picked a bad night.

I'm up for some drinks, I'm usually out at weekends anyway but quite new so circle of friends is small. preferably marina way

I am also up for drinks if anything is happening soon...

Been here a few months but have kind of been busy doing nothing.

I am a teacher from the UK, 31 going on 18, pretty social and up for a laugh.

Love the city, weather and lifestyle, the job is okay, just need to get the social life sorted and then I will be happy!

Cant work out how to PM but when I do I will send a few messages! But it would be cool to hear from some of you
