Dubai for the first time has let me down, New years partys stopped because of war, New Years day party like any other day inb qatar 6000 guys and four girls and today a sheikh has died so no parties allowed for three days. I should have saved some mulla and stayed home ... anyone as lucky as me ??

well as i have just said in the other thread there's some gossip (as it's not confirmed so it remains to be gossip), circulating abt the real reason... dont know how true but hope it aint true

why dont you get a life? Your rationale is nobody should enjoy themselves because wars are taking place? Should i feel guilty for eating cheeseburger also because it tastes good and others are less fortionate. Why dont you stop your talking and make a stand if your so conscientious....

Do you honestly believe it was for that reason they halted the celebrations? No way Jose! I'm sure there were more sinister reasons......ermmm I'm thinking Goa???
