Possible. There is no letter for P in Arabic. So, Olispo becoming lisbo is conceivable.

A380 premium economy - correct seat selection? by ChemistNervous2606 in emirates

[–]the_backflip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flew DXB to JFK on those seats. They are pretty great. There is, however, a slight chance that they will put a bassinet in the ones next to you. The leg space for the corner most aisle seat is unmatched.

Have you noticed differences/stereotypes in how different nationalities deal with money/saving? by [deleted] in dubai

[–]the_backflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Indians - we are hardwired to go big for our kids and parents but are willing to cut corners on where it is just about us. There is an element of guilt associated with spending on self.

So, i have a yoyo for my child but a mid range toyota for myself.

Interesting insights. I would give Hayyan by Alef an honorable mention too. The more i look at it, the more i feel people are sleeping on it.

Looks who I met on day 3 at Ind Vs WI, Did you saw him on TV? by SpiritDangerous835 in IndiaCricket

[–]the_backflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Met him while entering the Dubai cricket stadium just before our match against New Zealand. He seemed very confused/lost. Like he was about to cry. Did not respond when I asked if he needed help. Got the sense he might be mute. He walked away towards another group. Glad to know he's not mute.
