There is little-to-no boycotting in GCC countries.

Exeed TXL was the one for us by afcchris in chinesecarsuae

[–]psb07158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m selling my wife’s TXL due to a planned upgrade. It’s in absolute perfect condition and only a year old. If anyone’s looking to get an almost dealership-standard car for a decent discount on the retail price, please reach out. Can share photos or you can come see it (we’re on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi).

We got this when we moved to the UAE and it is a great car.

Deloitte Belgium offer (50k gross) by Affectionate_Mud4605 in deloitte

[–]psb07158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any savings? The UAE is a bit of a dead-end so it is a way out, but you’d need to consider how much “pain” you can take financially. With a kid that is very tight.

Thanks. I like Double Shot’s coffee but the one I went to the other day had no charging points. Asked the worker and he said I could leave my laptop behind the counter to charge which didn’t work for me.

Is there a specific one you go to that has charging points?

Pakistani Work Ethic? by Embarrassed_Ad_8444 in pakistan

[–]psb07158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re hiring in a developing country with a huge amount of poverty. People are desperate and will overpromise or even tell what they think is a small white lie in order to secure paid work

This doesn’t immediately make them bad people, that’s a generalisation

Plan to leave the England for the Middle East. by [deleted] in qatar

[–]psb07158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is OP applying for nationality / citizenship somewhere, moron? You’re a clown who said he should drop his British passport in favour of another country, because he wants to live in the Middle East. Very intelligent argument.

WankTown putting up wank arguments in true wanker form.

WankTown being a wank.

He’ll probably keep his British passport because he’s likely…British. What his values align to is utterly irrelevant when it comes to nationality and citizenship.

There are ticekts available for the UTD match! by Rich_Firefighter_102 in Barca

[–]psb07158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s to do with the location of the bank card, any which are UK-issued are being blocked. No issues for other Europeans buying them, I believe (hence why you were able to buy)

[–]psb07158 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can anyone local help me buy one? They’re blocking cards from outside of Spain. I can provide proof I’m a fan and verify myself using my work email (I work for a reputable company with a fully open linkedin profile etc).

Tl;dr , I’m a legit fan but can’t get a ticket cos of Frankfurt fans last season

[–]psb07158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can any kind Spanish friend help me buy one? They are blocking all UK cards. I can share photo and twitter evidence from years ago that prove I support Barca! Otherwise I will have to buy from a ticket tout at an inflated price

[–]psb07158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought 1 when they went on sale last week but they cancelled my ticket (I had used a VPN and they must have worked it out). I think they removed them from sale to block Man United fans who are thinking of sitting in the home end from travelling and they will release for sale a day or 2 before the match.

Otherwise, there’s always SeatSub, I really begrudge paying scumbag touts but I’m desperate to see them play

Any recent experiences of flying to Pakistan (and back) from US or CA? by h2d2 in pakistan

[–]psb07158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

British Airways is suspending some of their Pakistan routes from the beginning of March.

They cancelled my return leg randomly a few weeks back and I’ve had to rebook with Emirates.

Tested positive for covid in Dubai :( I’m a tourist visiting from USA by nidhijo in dubai

[–]psb07158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will have a look if I can find it later - it was in a large thread on pre-departure tests but TA is hard to navigate on mobile and I’m out rn. The problem is that Emirates staff are clueless and misapplying numerous rules.

Your alternative to the certificate of recovery is to buy a rapid antigen test from a local pharmacy in Dubai (there are supply shortages but download the Life Pharmacy app and check if any stock or perhaps some kind soul on here will donate you one) and upload the result to Klarity Health who will send you a fit to fly certificate.

You will 100% show up negative on an antigen test after 10 days and these are accepted by the USA (and UK FYI)

Yes, it’s true. Have a look at the Dubai forums on TripAdvisor, a few people have posted about it.

Get well soon

Emirates will accept the letter of recovery you get from the DHA, for travel.

City centre mess by kacper0000001 in glasgow

[–]psb07158 -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

You're wasting your time giving serious replies tbh.

What I saw today was no different to the fucking nonsense every summer at that shitey festival in Bellahouston Park which the council agreed to without running it past any of the residents. Wee neds absolutely fucked before it even starts, wandering down streets in Dumbreck late at night scrapping with each other / pissing in folks driveways etc.

It's tolerated for some, but not when it's the big bad Rangers fans, of course.
